Children of the Stones was incredibly unnerving for a Nickelodeon show.

The only concrete references to sex in AD&D were in the Monster Manual and DMG, not the Player’s Handbook. Because what do you really need to know besides what magical hybrids result from sexytime with monsters and a random harlot encounter table?

Lots of games before 1985 are Old School but effectively anti-OSR.

You misspelled 1994 or besmirched the memory of Bob Bullock there, buddy.

If your reaction to Wemby saying this is a hearty “hell yeah”, it behooves me to let you know that @theguardian.com does not take business from betting companies, we have a great sports section, no paywall, and a great app. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/o...

In SEC country there are more severe penalties for botched execution of a punt than a person.

Any man paying attention figures women have been ready to burn it all down since the Access Hollywood tape failed to end Donald Trump’s political career.

“This is your brain on drugs” is more famous, but “I learned it from watching YOU” is far more quotable.

The original West Marches campaign was run using 3.0 in perhaps the most blorb-y fashion possible, so I wouldn’t say that’s an insanely ludicrous take.

“Slopulism”, as I have seen it deployed lately, is more of a policy dig. If you’re calling someone a “slopulist” you’re accusing them of running more on angry vibes than plans that might work if implemented.

Difference between greatest and most skilled. Messi may only be top 5 in terms of raw skill, but his introversion and lack of significant vices gave him a longer sustained peak.

2006 Rose Bowl for me, but for an event where I don’t have a rooting interest in most of the games it’s probably tops.

Hey, at least they haven’t reached “most people in South Carolina supported secession” territory.

Cape Verde tried to beat Argentina honorably. Paraguay tried to beat France with absolutely shithouse tactics and goonery. The ref sucked. I award Paraguay no points.

I would have hoped that after the political upheavals in the US and UK people realized there are no “systems”, just people, and if the people in positions of power don’t enforce rules and norms, they don’t actually exist.

I bet Argentina is out there like Apollo Creed in Rocky 1. “There ain’t gonna be no rematch.”

Really odd that you guys decided to adopt the imperialists’ most expensive, elitist and poncey game as your favorite.

I don’t even know what’s supposed to count as a foul or a goal, much less who tf is supposed to be good besides Argentina and France.

My understanding from film and TV is that Miami is very pro-cocaine, though.

Spencer you leave yourself open without defining your conditions. I’m pretty sure the Traveling Wilburys could manage an 8 hour telethon of originals and covers (of their own songs).

Wagner’s full Ring Cycle is 15 hours. Granted some of it is people talking instead of singing, but it’s a full 15 hour set.

Sure, but throw in Fidelio and the concertos and you should be able to get there.

Yes. Uruguay has the tiebreaker if both games end in ties, but if Uruguay lose, they are behind on points.

Would not have guessed Kathy Hochul is just better at politics than the potential next Speaker of the House, yet here we are.

Mamdani is literally just doing politics! He endorsed moderate incumbents who supported him, like Hochul, and drove a truck over the ones who didn’t and were significantly to the right of their districts.

BAKidd @bakidd.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
Mamdani *did* do it, but it‘s not really a matter of the endorsements. It’s the fact that the city did not in fact immediately burn to the ground upon electing a “socialist” that put the lie to opponents’ fear mongering in a way rhetoric simply can’t.

Clearly ”deliverism” was a failure for the Democrats in 2024. Not sure why anyone would think that calls for triangulating weaselism as the alternative, though.

Whether they should exist or not, they do, and billionaires acting in rational self interest is better than crazy ones burning the house down with us in it.

The critical question of our time seems to unfortunately be whether the sane billionaires outnumber the insane ones.

Where “ergodic” is the information theory concept of a source that over a given time period averages the same as the entire space of possibilities.

BAKidd @bakidd.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
In this case one presumes ergodic to mean a notional ergodic generator of plausible adventuring parties one then imagines encountering the dungeon.

If that were true, the structure improv games provide wouldn’t make it easier for newbies to do improv.

The worst part as a Spurs fan was watching Wemby fade down the stretch like a babysitter getting exhausted because the kids don’t want to sit down for a nice game of Sorry! As a middle aged man it was entirely too relatable.

He was obviously a polymorphed dragon, though, and you know how much dragons like to bulk up the size of their hoards with copper pieces at the bottom.

Oh yeah, conquest is baked in a bit, but it’s like playing 4X games like Civilization. If you think too much about it, your goal of maximizing your score by conquering the whole world does indeed make you the baddies.

Worse, it’s a good game, at least apart from the obvious implications that becoming a Conqueror and King probably involves at least some light oppression and imperialism.

Oh yes. The author of Adventurer, Conqueror, King is the dark shining star of that sector, in terms of being prominently right wing and actually writing decent OSR games.
