Ten Candles is an amazing game, but it is a one-shot, not for campaigns. Everyone dies at the end of the game. Period. It is the journey toward that inevitable end when everything goes dark that makes it so good.

This kind of thinking is wasteful. Every d20 has a finite lifespan. It was created, and it will, at some time in the future be destroyed, as all things are. That means it has a finite number of rolls in its lifetime, with an equal distribution of all possible outcomes. When you “practice roll” and get a nat 20, you have wasted one of the limited number of nat 20s that die has in it. Think of the 20s. Don’t practice roll.
I use a 14400 baud handshake.
Robert Reynolds aka The Sentry. He’s has Superman power levels (A Million Exploding Suns!). Easily one of the most powerful characters in the entirety of Marvel. He’s also mentally unstable and has an alter ego called the Void who performs a horrific action for every good action Sentry performs. Don’t know how much of his story is going to be pulled into the MCU, but I am excited by the possibilities.
Here’s another way to enjoy it, DraculaDaily. Receive emails containing the letter, news article, journal entry, etc from Dracula on the date that it appears in the book. Starts in May.
Playing Star Trek in my high-school counselor’s office on a teletype machine that was connected to the local college’s main frame. The teletype used a roll of paper. Type in a move, and a new “screen” was printed on the paper. I must have used miles of paper playing that game.
Forgot The Orville.
Its only three hour and a half episodes. Just binged it last night actually and its great. Really didn’t expect it to be, so it was a pleasant surprise.
Tigers are only CR4. There’s lots of stuff more dangerous that that.
That shit is dingo!
A friend ran a sequel to Cabin in the Woods as a Powered by the Apocalypse game. The premise being that the titan at the end of the movie was not the entity that needed to be appeased, but was just another of the monsters. The resulting cave in killed the Jester, thus fulfilling the sacrifice, but the Virgin was still alive. We played a mercenary team sent in to rescue the Virgin and pull her out, while dealing with all the other monsters that were still in the complex. Great game. Overall the mission was a success, but I was killed by Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain.

Yes, you may.
In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.
Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.
In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.
Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.
I don’t think fluff should be considered unnecessary. A teddy-bear without fluff is just an empty bag. In a game, the fluff fills out the world, giving it form. It’s needed by both rules heavy and rules lite games. My term for rules lite games is usually “cinematic”. In these game, the story and the narrative take precedence over number crunching or rules lawyering, just as movies often ignore what is “real” in favor of what is “cool”.
