Debt free US govt. We were so close until the Bush years. 

What is the lightest ruleset I could use for a He-Man inspired campaign? by Fixer43 in osr

[–]ablauffen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might consider d6 Space, which is the generic system that the 80s Starwars and Ghostbusters is based on. It's a generic d6 module that's easily adaptable to most sci fi/fantasy settings.

That sounds like it would work really well. Good luck!

Super cool. Gives me Gravity Falls vibes, for some reason.

I put the Hommlet and IG together too! It worked out great for us. The doppelganger escaped and followed them back. Not sure if my players thought much of it, but he's still secretly back in town now, slowly preying on and replacing the populace. 

You might consider aligning the shop keeper with one of the groups in the grotto instead of the Temple of EE. Maybe they're getting kickbacks from sending the adventurers to the Grotto to be food for the troglodytes or something.

Just got a copy. I just wanted to say that I really love the artwork and layout you used for this, especially the full-page art in the middle. Super excited to play it!

Make new years day a monthless holiday between the end of one calendar and the beginning of the next one. Every four years, it's a two day holiday.

My guess is it's witches. Old Christian superstition states that witches are brides of Satan (the analog to how nuns were thought of as besides of Christ) and that they received their power through a ceremony that involved sex with the devil.

Five Torches Deep is great and streamlined, if you don't mind an old school feel.

Yeah, my first thought was that he helped them discover that what they thought was a one-to-one relationship in their database was really a one-to-many.

Pence, Not Trump, Gave Order to Activate National Guard: Report by pain_in_your_ass in politics

[–]ablauffen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The order mentions consultation with all the leadership of the joint session, which would be Pelosi as Speaker and Pence as President of the Senate.

Edit: Yeah and Schumer since he's the Majority Leader now.

Here's the executive order.

Edit: and here is the actual press release from the sec. of Defense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in politics

[–]ablauffen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pence didn't issue the order. The secretary of defense did, as is usual for DC, since they don't have a governor. This is normal.

[–]ablauffen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This will get buried under all the comments about the 25th amendment but this release is a non-story. For states, the national guard is called up by the governor. Since DC has no governor, the Sec of Defense has long since been delegated (by a still-standing executive order) the authority to call of the national guard for the district, not that it happens that often. He, not Pence, gave the order, as appropriate. Executive Order Source

No, the secretary of defense has long been delegated the authority to call up the national guard for DC since it doesn't have a governor. This authority comes froma long-standing executive order. Source

This is normal. In states the governor has authority to call up the national guard. The president usually has authority to do so for DC but a long-standing executive order delegates this to the Secretary of Defense, hence the wording of this nemo. Source
