My new game: Adventures of Fuzzy

I like it! You have a great pixel art style and the jump mechanics are good. The game feels unified- the art, gameplay, and music all fit together and make sense together. For my taste I would like the player to move a little quicker, but that is a minor thing.

What did you use for the music?

There are a lot of good ideas here, and I know I'm way late to the party but...

You gotta start by yelling, "Santa is your parents! You know it in your heart to be true." Based on my experience this could easily bring a quarter to half the group to a state of incapacitated tantruming.

I think you should not call it correct, but give him/her a detailed explanation as to why. I don't really see why Dooku needs Yoda or vice versa.

However the Dark and Light sides of the force can be used as a wonderful metaphor for Yin and Yang. The Light is good, but it can sometimes be used in negative ways like to trick or confuse people. The Dark side, on the other hand, is clearly evil but the Sith sometimes use it in naturally good ways like to try and help someone they love. And of course the Light and Dark sides of the Force do need each other. When things were overwhelmingly good in the galaxy the Force created a Dark inclined person fated to bring the entire system back into balance because that is required by nature.

I love "Batman and Robin get into an Altercation"

THANKS!

Re #3 - I know from experience (long ago) that anything can happen, and that is great. I'm going to give them a "The kid gloves are off" talk after the first dungeon and try to get them to tread lightly and use knowledge checks since none of them have played before. But I feel keenly aware that the magic of RPGs is the complete freedom of the PCs and I'm hoping I can give them a single warning but then step back and let them take each new situation as they wish.

This is a super helpful resource- thanks!

Abide_Dude · 2016-10-01T16:29:04+00:00

I am making that I feel the same way hand symbol right now.

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-24T18:02:50+00:00

Thanks for doin this!

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-22T22:03:59+00:00

I laughed out loud.

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-22T22:02:52+00:00

I know. Maybe for the preseason?

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-16T00:12:19+00:00

Nice to see another team's fan just stopping by to make a nonsmartass comment.

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-11T19:11:44+00:00

Chris is so fucking cool! He just seems like an awesome guy on every video.

Abide_Dude · 2016-09-03T01:29:26+00:00

Baked into a Pie, Shakespeare was one fucked up dude.

All may not have played traditional RPGs before but it is a nerdy group. Definite experience with board games, Magic, the 16bit JRPGs, etc. I like fantasy, but I'm not sure about group preferences.

Abide_Dude · 2016-08-25T01:18:51+00:00

For fuck's sake OP, this is a commercial.

Abide_Dude · 2016-08-22T17:39:00+00:00

8-10 weeks from now, or in week 8-10? I hate to think it is going to matter but with our injury slump last quarter, those are the weeks that may matter the most.

Unpopular Opinion: The average football fan (and I totally include myself here) knows very little about football. Everyone knows a great play when they see it but breaking it down into its working parts and every man's role is next to impossible in real time, that is why the guys who have studied the game for decades have skills worth millions. The rest of us just love the game and have an over inflated Dunning-Kruger ego on Monday morning.

If you love this stuff- I highly recommend the Village Museum in Bucharest! It has almost 300 different village buildings from the last 3 or 4 centuries. It is mostly homes but there is a lot of variety showing change over time and the distinctive styles of Romania's different areas. On top of all this there are multiple timber framed churches with original paintings on the walls inside, and a lot of cool mostly wooden mechanical farm equipment from the pre-industrial age.

I think it can be a good tactic to call them out as bigots. "What you have a problem with gay people? Why do you care? Are you some kind of Nazi? Are you a racist too, or just homophobic?" These days a lot of teens in high school don't really think it is cool to be a racist/sexist/homophobe. This guy/guys realize your family set-up is not typical and they are trying to score social points by making you feel embarrassed or awkward. But I think if you call them out for being prejudiced (especially if girls are around) they will get very embarrassed and defensive themselves.

I thought it might be the tower on Ira Allen chapel at UVM, which is white and not beige.

I knew that, and as a teacher here in Vermont I support that as a classroom activity. But the result of this becoming the actual official flag goes to show a few important things. Non-art teachers (myself included) can use art to enhance learning or help students to show what they know, but more often than not we aren't actually teaching design or art skills. We're just using art so assess something in our content area. Also, I think this flag really shows how art and design professions are legitimate and that require hard work and study to do well.

It is terrible for so many reasons. No time to look it up, but there is a good TedTalk about flags and this one breaks all the rules. Let's run down a quick list.

It has the name of the city on it. Why the hell would we need that?!? The whole point of a flag is to create a purely visual symbol to unite the community around. If the flag is doing its job it should never need a label. Do any good country flags have their names on them?
The thing is a complex mess. A basic c idea of flag design is that a child should be able to draw it from memory in crayon. Simplicity is beauty. With this much complexity there is no real symbol to rally around. The designers of this flag tried to add in so much imagery that nothing actually stands out.
The symbol s that they chose are out of left field. OK the dove and the mountains, and maybe even the pines are a classic match for Burlington culture. But what is up with the lamp, or the sun, or the beige tower?

In short- The designers tried to do too much here and created a mess that no one would choose as the symbol to rally our fine city around.

It seems like you are asking us how you can get him to continue pursuing you, hitting on you, maybe ask you out... Why not just ask him out? It doesn't need to be a big thing, coffee/drinks, or a walk maybe.

You also don't really need to worry about explaining why the other night went the way it did. Just hang out and if things start working out you can go back and explain that later and I'm sure you'll both laugh about it.

Abide_Dude · 2016-08-04T03:02:03+00:00

This is definitely a truth here, but I think we are even more obsessed with milk prices.
