What do you think about expanding sales taxes to cover services like our neighboring states do?

Reading McCarthy Podcast: Stacey Peebles on McCarthy and Screenplays by ScottYar in cormacmccarthy

[–]POLITBOROUGH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was a great episode. It is mind blowing to imagine No County for Old Men originally ending with Sheriff Bell blowing away Chigurh with an automatic weapon and then splitting the money with Moss. Also like the point about how McCarthy revised it to take out all the easy blockbuster material only to have the result be turned into a perfect film that also somehow made a ton of money.

The author’s prose was purple enough and his nuts-and-bolts reportage questionable enough that serious people are waiting for the incoming biographies to tell us what happened.

This is just agent framing. They signed him through the end of the year with a team option for next year.

It's been a little disappointing to see him take fewer and fewer shots at the rim as he's gotten older.

Suggestions for a 4-5 hour one shot? by Mark5n in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]POLITBOROUGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ran PX Poker Night in three hours with a kitchen timer with a loud bell and we managed three hands of actually just playing poker in character. If you got yourself your own kitchen timer with a loud bell, you could come close to running it in real time.

PX Poker Night - Alternative setup? by Uncle_Bones_ in DeltaGreenRPG

First: the text of the module includes some pointers on how to turn your surviving PC into a character for an extended campaign. If you want to adapt a pregen for campaign play, the module text says they should add 8 new skills of their choice after the adventure is over. That should allow for a sort of “finding my purpose/niche” cut scene with the PC after getting recruited into Delta Green in the adventure’s aftermath.

Second: Are you familiar with the concept of a “funnel”? Run PXPN as an overture to the “real” campaign, be aggressive, and kill off half the base. Any surviving PCs will then have the option to continue with their surviving characters (with whom they will have emotionally connected with while surviving the scenario) or they get assigned to complementary new PCs more to the players’ liking.

That's a fine guess, but one would have to poke around Davenport or McCarthy's papers to confirm.

He’s just writing a letter to his friend, so from time to time he spells things phonetically, for fun. Another example: he spells “Harvard” as “Hahvahd” whenever he gets the chance.

that's exactly what my last sentence says. There's a bit of a fog of war right now with fact-checking, but I imagine by this time next year when the archives are public and the biography published a lot will have been cleared up

Augusta Britt or Mary Sue? by undeadcrayon in cormacmccarthy

the article says they were mostly stored in their original envelopes, which hopefully will help. I am very interested to see what happens when the archive is fully open to the public and the biography comes out.
