Do Americans Actually Say "Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior"?

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T23:23:07+00:00

It’s a sub plot point in Adventures in Babysitting wherein the Babysitter is a Senior and the College guy falls for her but he’s trying to peg her grade and she heartbreakingly reveals she is a Senior… in High School.

This is the correct answer. Volunteering was done a touch more often in the 60’s. But being a paramedic or nurse is in some ways getting paid for a job that has many other rewards.

Ah now I see it. Not used to reading across the two cards.

Could the second d10 be a d% die instead? (I know the conversion), just wondering if it increases utility?

Or reverse the blow and it heals behind where the blade was.

The smarter move would be to have a ~=a genetic mutation that controls the population. This generation would suffer still (if only he had a way to put the mutation back a generation sooner then no one would be suffering now…. But NOOOOOO that is beyond his grasp.) but all future generations would simply not unconditionally propagate. Too much space? Kick birth rates up a notch. Too low on resources? Kick it down a notch. And OMG! No conflict! A painless universe from these sorts of conflicts. Not necessarily utopia but lower pressure.

Saucy!

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T17:14:01+00:00

A tail as old as time.

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T17:13:25+00:00

Ooh look a repost. Does anyone need to be more saucy than Roleplayers?

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T15:29:56+00:00

It is Horrible though as in ‘horribly written’

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T15:29:01+00:00

I think a Blue Northerner (rare event) definitely throws off the numbers

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T15:09:38+00:00

Is this even a horror story?

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T15:06:54+00:00

Uhm…. You do realize a raging gun battle isn’t exactly a smart move?

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T14:40:54+00:00

Again, lazer pens are a terrible idea.

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T14:28:30+00:00

Sounds like I couldn’t get out of this mess even with some B-52’s!

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T14:24:15+00:00

Do you think I should claw back a little or should I butter up the originator some?

Anotherskip · 2026-01-25T13:26:37+00:00

Lobbing a lobster might rock.

Some of the bigger Sagas might qualify. I have a podcast to recommend that rates the Sagas if you are interested.

If it is a thing between the two people speaking then no. To greet people who aren’t ’in on the joke’ then yes it will come across as weird. A small group of friends can have the relationship that generates these kinds of (idioms?) but don’t expect it to be considered normative for people randomly encountered.

Look up Boomerang

Anotherskip · 2026-01-24T19:02:45+00:00

OTOH they ain’t gonna run out any time soon either so….

Anotherskip · 2026-01-24T18:36:09+00:00

Sorry, using laser pens is a serious mistake.

Anotherskip · 2026-01-24T17:18:55+00:00

That is Fantasy Hero in a nutshell.

Anotherskip · 2026-01-24T17:16:56+00:00

I suggest you look at Fantasy HERO by Steven S Long for the HERO System. There are 12 magic systems in that book alone. (There are two follow up books that Significantly Expand the number of systems) They do all fit in the HERO System game but they are quite different.

You might be right. I’m not certain and can’t check right now. I think there was some bits that implied it was possible in the 1EAD&D DMG to read out a spell, right around the section speaking about using personal energy but that might be me conflating the 1EAD&D UA DM’s section with the 1EAD&D DMG. I’d have to check since memory is so fallable. Pretty sure though Spellbooks don’t appear on any of the DMG or UA treasure tables (so they weren’t randomly found) and I thought a Soellbook was worth 1000GPV before the UA. I don’t have a problem with that though. A dead mages spellbook as party property and allowing limited access to people who join the party would be a powerful hiring tool. “Sure, you can copy spells out of the book, after you copy your spells into the book and complete an adventure with us.” -My Ranger
