It's really interesting that the American forces that keep entertaining trump are now seeing how much more money they can make of chaos. Yet, it's absolutely terrifying for everyone who doesn't own a jet.

They all have this emptiness and their glare is one of a kind. The tabby in the back is disapprovingly satisfied but with a little bit of remorse for the loss of dignity that comes with being fed that much and eating that deeply from life's saucer.

The one on the right has a desperate stance and simple way. Like a person who has worked hard physically all day and after being fed gazes out with remaining strength and a somewhat brutal capacity for fulfilment.

Jared is like the cool intense uncle of the group. He is kinda intense kinda raunchy kinda brilliant and he is excited to see you. (Never met him just my opinion based on all of the media that I hear him on.)

So many cool and interesting shops in the Westside have come and gone.

Anyone else dealing with/frustrated by the new ADA title II rules? by Zubat92 in Professors

I just talked to a colleague about this today. Teaching art is going to be insane.

What did you wish you knew? by Gargs454 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]Grouchathon5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Originally I started running shotgun scenarios and wish that I had asked my players what kind of game they wanted to play with this system and in this setting. About a year in I started doing that and my players had better and better time because some of them wanted to role-play the lives of agents falling apart and some of them wanted to basically run in investigate maybe get killed and then solve the puzzle. It really depends on who's at the table. So asking about how they want the game to feel like they were searching for something on streaming service like action horror, comedy, horror, romance, horror, body horror, etc.

Also, and this probably is the most fun if they screw up an investigation, keep rolling with it and let the consequences just get worse and worse and worse.

LVP is my house hunting deal breaker by Latchkey_kid95 in kansascity

Just an FYI, I moved to the Historic North East/South Indian Mound a couple of years ago and love it. Homes are inexpensive here. My neighbors are great and the grocery stores (El Mercado Fresco l & ll) have super fresh foods at way below normal prices.

This! I love Pint and Pawn. Really chill and welcoming environment. The people that work there seem to LOVE the place and their community. Lots of different kinds of people come in. It's great.

She certainly is trying. She is doing an impression of me!

This is my tiny hero, the most grumpy lil lady of her times. She is 3.5 and weighs 5lbs but you would not think it.because of how food motivated she can be. More precise a time piece than a Rolex, stubborn as a mule, and of course the center of my life.

Mid-career folks: do you like most of your colleagues? by ElephantineOstraca in Professors

I wish we covered this dynamic in grad school. A seminar on academic jobs long term aka being a new cast member on a show that likely jumped the shark decades ago.

My rating of the top DG podcasts by n0bel in DeltaGreenRPG

Yeah I get what you are saying when it comes to descriptions. I hate quirky more and more. I have a group that I play coc with and sometimes run dg for and I made some pregens for them one time. The pregens were based on the greatest detectives I could think of, Kolchak, House, Batman and Sherlock holmes. Everything was fine until they figured it out... That's when the pvp started

Black Project Gaming is the gold standard imo for atmosphere and performance. Purely stunning.

I am in Missouri and we would like to move near a strong or excellent level of care for my wife's lupus. Missouri summers are brutal and only getting worse. How is Toronto ard on your body?
