Re: Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on the Ballot

in my opinion, it’s the right decision. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if states could restrict who could and couldn’t run for President? This is my initial reaction as well, even though his presence on the ballot is an uncomfortable reminder that sometimes America is just a lie we tell...

Quick turnaround. Enjoy.
From page 11:

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

You know, writing that up really drove home how much more enjoyment I get from game preparation than from game play.

Re: (Auto)biographical Dictionary of MDB/DM

I'm trying to remember if BYP posted on a.r.m. -- If I recall correctly his apologetics were sometimes a topic of conversation.

Re: (Auto)biographical Dictionary of MDB/DM

Example: Bret Ripley? would love to get that story. Chapter 1: It was a dark and stormy night. (I will try to come up with more later.) ETA: kidding aside, I'd be fine with sharing -- I just can't imagine it will be interesting unless I'm allowed to retcon in some ninjas or space marines. On a self...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Oh, and the players understood 4-arms burbling sounds at the end to indicate that this was Ommitt's avatar -- it was this realization that convinced the players that sparing 4-arms was the right move and in doing so had 'won' a sort of moral victory over Zenobia. Right or wrong, this feeling inspire...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

honorentheos: I am curious how you handled this, and how things are working out. Our group has only gotten together once since the last update. We started with the party split as some of the players confronted the witch Zenobia in her home while the others were locked outside. The session with the p...

I am more cynical. As I said earlier I honestly believe Smith had ADHA and just went for it without much planning or organizational skills.
"ADHA" = "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Aisorder?"
"Attention Deficit Homewners Association"? They get snarky if you finish mowing your lawn?
