"Favorite movie at age 20" seems like harmless fun... until it occurs that it's a phishing for your demographic and preferences (behavioral/personality) information. And elections are coming. And whatshisname in Trump's first campaign and Cambridge Analytica and targeting voters on social media.

My brain last night: I know you’re trying to sleep, but how about a nightmare wherein you’re back in 11th grade and have to tattoo four scenes from a book you’re reading onto your eardrum, then write an essay supporting why you chose those scenes? And AFTER you do the tattooing, you realize that…

I turned 50 today and I'm feeling very introspective. 50 is a lot of years to have behind me. I can still remember being teased by my former LucasArts Audio colleagues because I was so young. Now I'm the old man who's been at this for close to 30 years.

It's also a lie. He was born to a Mr. and Mrs. Scrooge. The Scrooge part of his name was determined first. They had to choose Ebenezer to add to it. So not only is this dumb. It's wrong.

What's an under-represented TTRPG setting? And do you know of any RPGs that do it (and hopefully well)? Off the top of my head 1. There isn't a lot of super-far future stuff, but Arrhenius does that setting. 2. Far past. I only know or Würm that does the end of the last Ice Age

We've had a lot of fun this year discovering smaller indie RPGs - Chains of Gaelia, Pagan Pacts, Arrhenius. So I'll ask here as well - does anyone have a game they'd like featured on an AP podcast? Preferably with some meat on the bones in terms of mechanics?
