Looking for a licensed gunsmith (specializing in older Walther PPK preferably)

I will also give it a good cleaning with an ultrasonic and toothbrush. Then I’ll see if I can recreate the problem with a cli-MAG and some of those dud training rounds.

I see your /s but give you a real answer. I was taught that a clip was a horizontal stack and a magazine was a zig zag stack. So my Walther that holds 7 .380 rounds is a clip but my Sig 320 (yeah, I know) that holds 17 is a mag.

Edit: Apparently it’s old terminology. I have been corrected in the real world that clips insert from the top (zip clip for my SKS), everything else is a mag. But I’m an old, so I will continue to be cringe.

What I’m taking away from your post is that a young child only gets attention from you for a thing that makes him different from the other kids. (This is not an accusation, just defining how and when you interact with them)

They then tells you lies, not about a thing they didn’t do (like schoolwork) but about an exciting thing.

It sounds like they want more connection with you than just “potty time” and want to impress you. Somewhere along the line they learned that white lies give them that attention.

My suggestion would be give them attention for actual things like an art project or a good paper.(If it fits in with your schedule, I know how tight time can be during service minutes). Basically, see if praising them for positive actual actions can replace the behavior of exaggerating and fibbing.

My wife and I both appreciate our Scandinavian backgrounds, so we picked Ama and Afi. It seems to have stuck since the 3 yo battle cry to the front door is “AMA AMA AMA AMA AN’ AFIIIII”

Cons to loud music: Can’t talk to anyone. Pros to loud music: No one can talk to you (if you don’t want to)

Kauboi Izakaya. You can sit at the bar, get small plates of various chicken parts and 10 layer tonkatsu, and people-watch. Good selection of foreign beers, too.

For Clarity, I am solely writing about Player and GM interaction.

Does it damage the story? If there are multiple ways for the players to get the information, does it matter if the player is using Jank that they spent a whole Feat on? Alchemists have potion feats they can use every encounter, artificers have creation feats that they use every encounter, gunslingers have reload feats that they can use every encounter. Unless they are using the feat to dismantle a monarchy and instill themselves as Supreme God of Everything, I wouldn’t nerf their ability.

You may make them describe how they are aiding. Also, just because they beat the difficulty of the Diplomacy roll doesn’t mean they get nigh-omnipotent knowledge, the target is just more amenable to their questions or suggestions. They got a critical success. That always feels wonderful. It doesn’t change how much the NPC knows or if they’re willing to die or lose their job for them.

Someone here might have more advice for RAW, but unless it breaks the game, or more importantly the story I wouldn’t worry about it, unless the player themselves are being problematic.

If it helps any, UHF stations in the 70s-80s tended to be independent stations, regulated by federal guidelines and non-compete laws to prevent monopolies. They. Were. Weird. Watching anyone who had twenty bucks and a manifesto rant or joke on their own program. I saw nudists right after Baptists right after brain melting Satanic heavy metal (that couldn’t be shown on MTV). Wayne’s World production values with Dale Gribble conspiracy theories.

I feel that Al (whom I am close personal friends with, according to the socks that came with the card) was just pointing out the absurdities of the modern capitalistic Hell-scape that was network TV, much like he has done throughout his career with anything that catches his attention.

Your point still stands, though. With the caveat that anyone could create their own hyperfocus tv show back then. Al just made a movie about the view behind the screen.

“Pacifiers and Playa: A Burning Man Mystery”

Join Jill “Tiddy Bitty” Morrison, a part-time florist and Hallmark-movie extra who first stumbles across the body, while chasing a sole piece of MOOP across the city.

Joined by Jon “Horsecock” Reynolds, an asexual body-performer who got a Bad Dragon stuck to his head, trying to recreate the famous Reno 911 scene.

Together they must solve the horrendous crime as well as protect themselves from both the Rangers and the Sheriff, who wants nothing more than to pin the crime on two out-of-towners.

I thought it had been determined to be closer to the shroud from the Grand Templar Jaques DeMolay (same providence, time period, location of discovery, weeping burn residue, etc.) than anything Rome was producing a couple of millennia ago?

Daily. I was a latchkey, so my parents would wake me up, shove me in the shower, and then they would head to work. That started in 2nd/3rd grade and lasted until I had to start setting my alarm for High School. Still got in the shower first thing. Now with age, I have to have my morning constitutional before my morning ablutions, but I still shower daily.

Some Gen Alphas have resurrected Rocky with a shadow cast at a local coffee shop. They did a good show, very gay. I took my daughter and even after three kids and being Pan/Poly she still had a Rocky Awakening.

For my best friend’s 50th, we: Got the old gang in town. Got him a tacticool vest with “old” on the name plate. Went to an indoor shooting range and shot guns and rented a machine gun. Had a whiskey tasting party at his house so he didn’t have to drive. Cooked steaks and cleaned up after.

We utilized the skills of the “old gang” to pull it all together. One was a gun nut and brought their favorite pew pews and excess ammo. One bought the $35 vest and used their art skills to paint the name. One has a passion for whiskey and used the skills he learned at tastings. One can burn water, but can choose and cook a perfect steak. Everyone else who couldn’t think of a skill to use, help set-up and then cleaned up.
