Ahh that makes sense - maybe the top one is a Herald poll that i can’t find, and the bottom one is from Stuff liveblogging the debate that i also can’t find. (Search functions on the news sites have really collapsed huh)

Whoops forgot alt text - Simeon Brown sharing a reader poll result showing Luxon overwhelmingly won the debate. Provenance unclear.

#nzpol Does anyone know the source of Simeon’s data here? It’s not the Stuff reader poll which asked “who won the first leaders debate” and only has two options (Hipkins clearly ahead)… Is it the Herald?

If only there was a newly published book describing exactly how this process operated in the local context and who was responsible

i admit i actually like this one, and accept it was cruel to overlook it in order to do my joke

similar in that both Vengaboys and Luxon's Nats only have one tune and they play it over and over and over

If only so someone can do the “i got a community notification for this” gag in the comments when you put it on newswire

@avclub.com you guys gotta look into this mysterious Community video on Donald Glover’s official channel that is getting served by the algo, doesn’t appear when you go to Glover’s video uploads, says it was “auto generated by YouTube”, and has only 8K views after 3 days youtu.be/b1ctVMNL9hA?...

wtf this outfit just randomly subscribed my email and i have to unsubscribe out of it? gmail didn't sort into spam... seems to be a legit company Anything i can do to punish this behaviour other than telling gmail it's spam? (i'm VERY not their target audience, but that's not the point)

email footer including the line "you're receiving this email because you've shown interest in conservative, 2A & Tactical News - if you'd prefer not to receive updates, you can unsubscribe"

I don't know what "bront" is and I'm afraid to ask, but this plus the adventure GLASSHOUSE might he the ideal horror #ttrpg one-shot you need for Halloween.

I’m certainly gearing up for a FiveEvil Halloween because terror encounters (that replace combat encounters in the base ruleset make my players lose their minds)

10. More great scenarios to pick! Also in the corebook: old friends in a holiday house learn something lurks outside... members of a Hollywood cult race to find a runaway... an appointment in a run-down building gets very bloody... a rock band gathers to play a demon song for a tech billionaire...

9. Improv is on the table! Horror is unpredictable, especially when you add players. #FiveEvil will not let you down. When you need to improvise, use the built-in oracle check that links to the core systems of desperation and intensity. Sometimes it even creates a happy outcome... sometimes.

I’VE GOT NO SIGNAL!
Isolation is a powerful way to create a situation of horror.
However, in the era of the mobile phone, isolation is
much harder to achieve. Here are some ideas for how to
manage mobile phones in your games.
• The setting is so remote there is no signal.
• The premise deprives characters of their phones.
(‘This is an exclusive preview event, hand in your
phones at the desk then get in the bus…’)
• Bad weather or foreign hackers take down the cell
network.
• The supernatural force you are facing can disrupt
or control mobile phones. (They call emergency
services, but the voice at the other end says he’s
the devil.)
• Mobile phones become a hindrance and the
characters have to dump them. (The murder wasps
are attracted to the radiation emitted by your
phones!)
• Whoopsy, you dropped your phone in the river.
(This one’s a great Evil…)

8. Scenario design is dead simple! The guidance in FiveEvil makes it easy to assemble your own perfect scenario, your way. It walks you through every step for you to trap the player characters in a terrifying challenge created just for them. It will be a highlight of their year.

Scott Purdy art! A montage illustration of a hideous multi armed creature with a massive mouth, roaring or screaming. Behind it two scenes - an exterior of a gothic house on a hill, with lighting illuminating the scene, and an interior showing a nasty looking sculpture made of sticks hung from a rafter.

7. There's no combat system! FiveEvil views tactical calculations, initiative ordering, and attack actions as the opposite of horror. Instead, when monsters get close, we enter Terror Rounds, where you struggle to retain control of yourself and every time you move, the horror responds.

Terror
encounters
An encounter with the horrors depicted in this game is never neat
and tidy. True horror rips apart the normal order of things, leaving
death and destruction in its wake.
Beginning a terror
encounter
A terror encounter begins when the characters are faced with a
dangerous and terrifying situation. As soon as that happens, start
the encounter as follows, then proceed to the first terror round.
1. Introduce the situation
First, the GM describes the terrifying intrusion that begins the
terror encounter. Asking questions as needed, they also:
• establish who is part of the encounter and roughly where
they are
• establish if anyone is surprised or prepared
• if needed, update the Intensity score to at least 4.
2. Terror saves
Every character makes a Terror saving throw to deal with
this sudden onset of terror without freezing up. Make either a
Dexterity save or a Wisdom save (player choice).
• Those who succeed are able to react to the threat. Those who
fail are frozen or slow and get no reaction, and any action they
were engaged in is stalled until their turn in the terror round.
