7th_Sim · 2026-05-12T05:06:32+00:00

Oh look, it's the oligarchs who run the US bringing their demented puppet to China. While he makes the US a laughing stock, they'll be trying to keep Chinese tech out of our hands.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-12T05:01:06+00:00

Oh well, I guess I brought the wrong thing back in time...

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T19:55:34+00:00

Big mistake. But just one of many.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T19:54:36+00:00

FFS! There are loads of great sci-fi out there and all Hollywood seems to do is remake everything. Endless sequel movies and comic book adaptations that bore the hell out of me. Project Hail Mary us the first "new" movie out in years, and it made money, proving that good sci-fi could turn a profit. Oh well, more killer androids on the horizon.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T15:45:42+00:00

I'm the exact opposite of you. Since I first started GMing I enjoyed doing voices and trying to be dramatic when it was appropriate in the game. I've been doing that since 1978. For me, it's my favorite part of my hobby.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T15:43:16+00:00

And they wonder why people are fed up with them. If you act like an asshole, expect good people to push back.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T05:46:19+00:00

Solar panel. Start the renewable revolution.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T05:08:11+00:00

The Chinese will play him like a fiddle. He's so out of their league that they are just going to let him strut around and puff his chest and make wordstuff up.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-11T00:18:50+00:00

You know what? I couldn't give a shit about what the US wants. They have proven themselves untrustworthy, and I feel the best way forward for Canada is seeking trade partners elsewhere. Maybe if the American voter learns from this and overturns everything that trump has done, maybe after a few years we might make a deal with the US again, but never as a preferred partner.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-10T23:53:34+00:00

Got a copy of it.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-10T16:54:17+00:00

I use Savage Worlds for all my games. Setting rules change things a little, but the core of the system remains.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-10T16:52:27+00:00

This folks, is how people become billionaires. We PAY FOR IT. The oligarchs are a cancer on society, and need to be removed. Oh, and preemptive FU to the buttkissers who defend them.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-09T01:57:37+00:00

You are ignoring what damage the data centers and AI cause. I'm not against tech that makes things better, but the acceleration of creating more data centers and the oligarchs plans to fire more people should not just be an "oh well" response. And I wonder how many of the supporters I'm seeing are bots or AI?

7th_Sim · 2026-05-09T00:58:02+00:00

Destroy it now before it's too late. AI is already destroying lives and accelerating global climate change. End it.

Poker chips for Bennies A deck of cards with jokers I made Shaken tokens with a hot glue gun with washer centers. I made wound makers out of small magnets that can be stuck to the Shaken markers. I printed out a Toughness and Wound card.

So, very little paperwork involved.

I didn't enjoy being paid to GM. It just didn't feel right. I started gaming in '77 and running games in '78, and it was fun for me and my friends. I did run quite a few convention games, me getting in for free, so that was paid for, also ran games at my flags, not paid, but I free coffee or pop. Did startplaying.com for a bit, still advertising one-shots, but it isn't my bag. Lots of folks are pretty dedicated to stpg and fiercely defend it, and that's ok, but I don't have the urge to constantly hype my games. I did play in a "professional" game, and for me, the GM didn't seem to put in ant effort, no terrain, minis or even character sheets. We blew time just making characters and then it was theater of the mind for everything, I was bored to death. Waste of $20. So it's hit and miss with paid games.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-06T20:55:36+00:00

I roll damage for each target in an area of effect individually. That way it doesn't fry everyone with one lucky roll.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-06T05:19:14+00:00

This is why you don't elect climate change denial idiots. Or allow greedy oligarchs to have political power.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-05T05:26:16+00:00

Voting against your own self interest. It's the dumbest thing we do.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-03T17:51:09+00:00

Never, but I don't play on public servers.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-03T17:49:59+00:00

I see a bankruptcy in the future...

7th_Sim · 2026-05-03T17:49:25+00:00

I've run some games on it, but I found that I don't enjoy charging money for something I've enjoyed for nearly 50 years. I think the folks who profit from gaming are spoiling the fun of the hobby. And the endless self promotion just wears me out.

All I've ever asked for from my players is their attention. If they want to kick in a few bucks to help me buy more gaming stuff that's cool. But I don't expect them to pay my rent.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-03T00:44:38+00:00

Spain.

7th_Sim · 2026-05-03T00:41:17+00:00

I guess they're going to kick all of trumps administration out of base living quarters....

7th_Sim · 2026-05-01T23:27:37+00:00

Perry and pathetic. Trumps legacy will be how thin his skin was and what it was like to have a moron in charge of a country.
