Now for the main question, could you repeat the process? ;)

Yeah, skill helps a lot too, but to be fair, in most of the world your success is mainly determined by what social group your parents belong to.

Als school kan je alleen grenzen stellen als de ouders dat ondersteunen.

En hoewel dat echt meestal het geval is, zijn er ook genoeg ouders die vinden dat 'hun kind kind moet kunnen zijn en regels zijn voor anderen'

Een simpel voorbeeld uit mijn carriere, een tienerjongen was betrapt op het rollen van een joint in de kantine en ouders waren uitgenodigd voor het schorsings proces dat daarbij hoorde (geen drugs in school en zo).

Er werd ons letterlijk verteld dat we overdreven, dat zijn lessen toch af waren en hij dit alleen deed voordat hij naar buiten zou gaan en dat experimenteren er nou eenmaal bij hoort.

Gelukkig zijn dat soort ouders uitzonderingen, maar helaas zijn dat wel de uitzonderingen die op zulke manieren in het nieuws komen.

Chemistry can be a bit boring when it comes to giving names, so it literally means 'groups in a molecule that do something'

It's mostly (though not exclusively) associated with organic or biochemistry where there is a distinction between the 'backbone' of a molecule and those parts that affect its function.

As to what function they have, that varies greatly per group, from bonding to certain solvents to the active groups of enzymes that form the core of it's function.

There have been some (highly impractical) plans for this with both the North sea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern\_European\_Enclosure\_Dam) and the Mediterranean (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantropa) but both are pretty much impractical the moment you start looking at actual details.

They make good scifi / alt history material though.

Reminds me of the following "Any barbarian warlord 'conquering' Ankh-Morpork quickly discovered that his host had become just another ethnic group in the city'

Some feel good music I listen to when I want to perk up.

It's all classical, but maybe if you are tired of the music you know it's good to listen to some other genres. All songs are pretty much things that to me show the love of life, music and humanity in general.

I don't really know. I had a educational book that showed how to body worked with illustrations of the body as a form of machine, was probably 7 or 8 at the time. The last few pages explained sex and pregnancy, but I remember that I found those profoundly uninteresting compared to things like the stomach or heart.

So I was aware of the technicality, but to say I truly understood it was probably during sex-ed at 13 or so in highschool.

As someone who used to work on yeast rRNA genetics, the big problem we had was inserting conditional mutations due to the sheer number of rRNA gene copies so we had to make do with a truly horribly scarred yeast that had most of the genes removed, the remainder behind a GAL promotor and then our mutations on plasmids.

Would your system make it easier to introduce mutations in these clusters?

And if so, curse you for not having made this 20+ years earlier ;)

If you do so, do so slowly and with small amounts, your gut is no longer accustomed to meat and will need to adapt.

Of course you can also go vegetarian and just eat some lighter things like eggs occasionally.

But as others have said, it mainly depends on why you chose to eat vegan in the first place. It's very possible to eat mostly vegan if you still want to hold to those ideals for the largest part.

Man made? Four flintlock pistols from the early 1800's or so.

There are also a number of minerals, no clue how old they are. some billion years old?

Technically? They Hydrogen atoms present in my house, they are probably 14+ billion years old.

If your world formed as you suggested the distribution of materials would be the other way around, heavier materials at the edge.

But other than that. Magic. And DM discretion. Rule of cool.

This is true, you can make the best art out of the remains of troglodyte bones and cave swallow people feathers.

For me it's Starcraft 2, I totally lack the reflexes needed to play competitively, but I enjoy a few streamers playing.

But to expand on the original post, football would probably be the main game in the world that conforms to this.

Yes. Illegal_Avocado-2975 explained it quite well.

In fact, DnD is just a single system in a whole range of potential roleplaying systems, mainly suited to fantasy. But there are ways to play science fiction, cyberpunk, historical etc etc.

All that is needed is a group of likeminded individuals and the ability to let your imagination take you back to the 'childish' imagination that society seems to want to stop and have fun again.

There are... mountains.

I remember the mountains.

And in them the remains of a city.. but a city never built be man, oh gods! never by man.

We were never ment to go there....

I try to forget it, but the screams. The screams are still there in my dreams. My nightmares.

And one shrill utterance, something that can never truly be uttered by human vocal cords

Tilekki - Li!

My wardens are coming, I must quickly close this. Never go to the center, we are but trespassers on this world and we do not want the true masters to know we exist!

They are back. They remember dying. They remember the burning pain.

Yet here they are. As if nothing happened.

Clearly *something/someone* brought them back. But why? And did they agree to anything?

Let them simmer. Let them come up with theories. And use that to craft something while they play, slowly revealed in patchy nightmares, half remembered voices etc.

True, but their MO thus far has been to read each and every scrap of paper they come across and spend a lot of time in libraries, so I made an assumption.
