I hope that, when Trump is gone, everyone continues to realize that tariffs (and import quotas) are bad, that they were also bad (but lower) under Biden and Obama, and that we would be better off if trade barriers were eliminated altogether. Also, presidents shouldn't have this kind of power.

Hot take: prewritten #ttrpg adventures should be playtested before publication. Ideally they would be playtested by a GM who is not the author of the adventure. "But we don't have time for that! We need to get them out the door!" Oh, so you think *I* have time to clean up your mess?

Over on Tales of Bob we're trying the new Cowboy Bebop RPG from Mana Project Studio, and we're calling it "Cowboy Bebob"! It's so unusual that we struggle a bit to wrap our heads around it, but we've got original music and some fun characters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FO1...

This is what the players saw at the beginning of episode 177. Yes, it's inspired by that classic 80s TV show skit.

I still haven't figured out who John Tantoblin (author of "Aramax One" in issue 4 of Imagine Magazine in 1983) was, and I think it's probably a nom de plume. The editor (Keith Thomson) and publisher (Don Turnbull) are both dead. Anyone have suggestions for how I might figure out who Tantoblin was?

This is a long shot, but might there be anyone around who knows something about John Tantoblin, who authored Aramax One, a short Star Frontiers adventure published in Issue 4 of Imagine Magazine in 1983? As far as I can tell, there is no other record of such a person.
