In fairness, "stomp out the jags" is arguably a significantly nicer goal than the first or third SLDF had!

They made it slightly less likely and a bit quicker to resolve. You can absolutely still fall unconscious and get knocked over or chain fall repeatedly in the new rules.

holy shit
screenshot reading "4: So this guy called Sam Sorensen really wanted to make a game about making sure you had enough grain to feed your pikemen during a siege. A few other things happened, and now a specific subculture of lesbians can’t climax unless their fictional girlfriend has the power to assassinate them."

soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/paint-... You'll be able to get @soulmuppet.co.uk's game of SAD GAY VAMPIRES for the first time at UKGE, with incredible art from co-creator @nohr.se and other dead people. Its a stunning game of partying through your trauma, despite feeling dead (inside).

"I'll just bolt a formalized economy on to make this last test of the Faction rules work. Cataphracts already has one, it shouldn't be too bad." I am a fool. A rube. An imbecile.

If you're the kind of nerd who enjoys this, I should mention that I have written several other pieces of Star Wars in-universe academic writing, just for the record. 😄 (archiveofourown.org/users/Empero...)

My thought process for how the Galactic Empire works is basically Stalinist developmentalism with totalitarian ambitions being built in the Holy Roman Empire, that coincidentally also happens to be run by a cabal of Satanists, where the Five Year Plans end up resulting in the Thirty Years War.

Great to hear! I'd wildly underestimated how much moving from California to Virginia would just destroy my production pipeline, my sympathy on the disruption.

Echoing this, I know too many people who nobly and heroically cooked their brains watching Israel blow apart children for a few years and now they are functionally insane and blackpilled. Do not watch the footage of war crimes. You don't need to.

The Interstellar Union for Conservation of Nature is disappointed to once again conclude that, despite massive habitat destruction, reckless use of pesticides, and the removal of hunting limits, all members of the family Scrungaloidia are still classified LC (Least Concern) for extinction.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

This was the coolest shit. Going through the logs Kara shared and then testing the fully functional program was the highlight of the game's back half. Felt like dead-eyed officers optimizing the sacrifice of your friends/planning horrific bloodshed in a war room. Huge props to Kara.
