While I understand and agree with your enthusiasm, I don’t believe this is the right channel for this sort of post.

Right, so leaving jobs off your resume is probably not a good idea. Year-long gaps in your employment history will get you passed on, as well.

So if you’re keeping off any jobs that you’ve worked at for less than 2 years, does that mean you lie about dates to cover up the gaps?

God, PLEASE…go with actually faster combat. It’s hard enough to get everyone to commit to showing up to the game for a few hours on any kind of a regular basis. Don’t waste what little time they DO have to tell stories together with pointless minutia. Just one guy’s (very fervent) opinion. ;)

I quite like Monte Cook’s Cypher System for just about any setting. Fast, elegant rules with just the right amount of crunch to keep things interesting. It’s really easy to grasp and can be easily tailored to fit any setting. I also love how it uses a descriptive sentence instead of cookie-cutter character classes.

Very little, if anything, would remain of our civilization in five or six million years. At least I wouldn’t think so, aside from what we have floating in outer space. Six million years is an awfully long time, and it’s not like our consumer-based society builds things to last…

I’ve been toying around with the idea of a vampire-themed setting using the Cypher System (MY go-to!). I’ve got tons of ideas…it’ll be a fun writing exercise, if nothing else! :)

Sounds like ‘What We Do in Shadows - the TTRPG’ (which isn’t terrible!). =)

This has not been my experience, unfortunately.

I believe someone else used the term ‘sealioning’. It fits, in your case. This is why I don’t see any point in having a debate with you. Waste your time with someone else.

Never a waste of time to speak truth.

I see no need to do this.

I would argue that morality came before religion or spirituality, and therefore does not require either of them to exist.

One doesn’t do the right thing to be rewarded or to ‘get ahead’. One does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Selfishness only leads to insecurity and loneliness.

This reminds me of the extremely-low-budget-and-really-dated-but-still-hilarious film, ‘The Gamers’. One of the players can’t make it to the session, and so in all of the live-action scenes, you see this character just standing still and staring off into space while the rest of the group is fighting, etc. =)

This makes sense to me. I like the idea of playing the absent player’s character by committee. I don’t usually run the kinds of games where just anyone can hop in or hop out of the game (I always have story arcs), so having the group take over an absent player’s character seems like a logical method to mitigate their absence. Thanks so much for sharing!

When you reveal yourself to be a bigoted, hateful person, most evolved and compassionate people tend to dislike you.

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?

Exactly. Not encouraging violence, encouraging ACTIVISM. I fucking love it!
