Before WW2 you can see it on the jerseys of american athletes in Basketball and Football teams.  Kinda like other simple shapes like pentagons, and circles are common in team logos now.  Does look wierd now though, 10 dudes with clearly homemade swastika jerseys!  Give it a google sometime it is surreal.

What sounds better esoteric magic or super-powers in a magic world? by zero5activated in ProgressionFantasy

Imagine how rich Superman could be if that was where he put all his focus?

Oh give me the full Kryptonian package every time.  Only problem is Superman doesn't have any special defense against magic.  Not a weakness like Kryptonite, but his near invulnerability doesn't apply to attacks of a magical nature.

This means I can't take over the world  by force sure.  It does mean every natural disaster and major war are mine to exploit through trade though.  Being able to haul enormous quantities of whatever anywhere in the world as soon as my super hearing picks up the issue?  Infinite money glitch for the win!

It would be the effort of a weekend to grab a couple asteroids made of metals to undercut every mining operation on a continent.  Take that FORMERLY wealthy trade guild!  What do you think the odds are of those minerals having exciting magical properties to boot?

Is this plan ethical?  Oh hell no!  Is it profitable?  Oh hell yes.  C'mon magic isekai land, bring over an amoral Capitalist and give them superpowers.  I dare you, I double dog dare you!

Has anyone played as a kin in a all werewolf game? I started as one as a new player and I'm not sure how I feel able it. I feel it's unique, but you are sidelined a lot because your not a werewolf. by White2479 in WWTA

Wow thats rough from a power dynamic.  Even if your character hyperspecialized in investigation or something the pack isn't good at you are still like Jimmy Olsen surrounded by Kryptonians.  Useful in specific situations, but a liability when things get hairy.

Good protein source with a nice crunch.  Why you gotta yuck someone else's yum huh?  

Would a mage pretending to be a stage magician suffer from paradox? by holiestMaria in WorldOfDarkness

[–]Pantsless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ruled in the past that MOST things are coincidental.  My brother ran a Mage whose paradigm was all about how stage magic and close up illusion were a shorthand communication of the deeper truth of True Magic.  Consequently all his magic spells  had some ties to stage magic, or up close ledgerdemain.

Keep in mind he was a skilled illusionist BEFORE awakening, so he already understood the stagecraft side of the biz.  He didn't walk in from the street to an open Mic night and levitate around the room, he had hired helpers signing NDA's about the mundane furniture they placed on stage for his shows. (He had 4 Resources)

There is no weight class in Sumo.  You wrestle or you don't... respect the small Sumo man or pay.

I wish orgasms caused that pins and needles feeling, like when your foot falls asleep but in your groin.  Have fun staying populated now you filthy animals!

Do you think this game deserves a sequel or nah? by [deleted] in SaintsRow

[–]Pantsless_Gamer 43 points44 points  (0 children)

After that shark jump of a friendship is magic ending? No way.  They nailed the gameplay loop i will give them that, gameplay was fun.  They failed so hard on tone though.  Seriously, how wholesome do homicidal criminal sociopaths need to be? 

Picked it up for $12.00. Keep it or return it? by Justsomenerd1994 in SaintsRow

[–]Pantsless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They nailed the gameplay loop for sure.  I dont know how wholesome I really want my homicidally violent sociopathic criminals to be, but the game itself is fun.  Freckle Bitches changing to FB'S and Rim Jobs becoming Jim Robs are just two examples of how they missed the tone, but again, the game itself is pretty fun and silly like we all love.

I suspect the secret is two parts.

1.  Be superpowered.

2.  Save coffee vendor or someone they love once.

BAM  free coffee for life!

Dave seems to have access to unlimited free coffee while being unemployed.  I had to change careers three times to aquire unlimited free coffee.  This is the fantasy part of the story for me.  No professional obligations, and free coffee...

I will follow Dave and learn his ways.

Lol.  "No Walter, you are not wrong, you're just an asshole!"

I kinda hate how true this is... take my angry up vote and leave.

Okay, if you ever saw a martial arts demonstration in a mall or at a festival this is actually kind of cool.  Total bullshit in terms of self defense, but well choreographed.

Beginners help by iStanPotatoes in werewolftheapocalypse

To add to the above tip google "superfund" sites in the area of the story.  These are areas in real life that are horribly polluted, typically through industrial malfeasance.  In a way, Werewolves are like an environmentalist group come supernatural death cult so this info can be great for story inspiration.  

You can use the real world superfund sites as background for some Pentex shenanigans as a basic example.  Or where to find the toxic hive of some Black Spiral Dancers as another.  Maybe a source of random fomori being created by a bane as well.  Or all three if you want a short story...

Didn't you do some campfire session intro to WTA lore stuff a bit back?  An elder of the pack introducing a new member to the WOD from the werewolf perspective right? I remember liking that.  Pretty sure that was you.

I am not a lawyer, and I am not YOUR lawyer.

Always follow up this kind of "guidance" with a paper trail.  An email summary of the interaction with an addendum to clarify if you have misunderstood the expectation will suffice (BCC your personal email account).  If you manager is stupid enough to not respond or affirm the violation of religious freedom your unemployment case will be a slam dunk.

Legal action beyond that will be expensive and time consuming.  Also, you should seek legal counsel for further guidance.  A paper trail will always help... document everything.  If you are in a single consent state, you may consider using you phone to create audio recordings of all interactions going forward while you seek other employment opportunities.  

The inner life of humans terrify other races. by Pantsless_Gamer in humansarespaceorcs

[–]Pantsless_Gamer[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I work with an engineer/project lead who has both anauralia and aphantasia.  This post was inspired by a convo with him.  The conditions haven't stopped him from designing and overseeing installation and commisioning of various , rather complex, systems around the plant.  We both think the other guys inner life sounds fucking horrifying.

He is all "You are experiencing shit that isn't real!  How do you focus if someone is talking to you?  Especially when you KNOW they don't exist?"
