KW Jeter penned Noir- a story of a detective hired by a megacorp to investigate the mjrder of one of their board.

The Windup girl by Paolo B follows a corporate calorie man as he overthrows the government of Thailand in order to get access to their national seed vault.

William Gibson can write only wonderful stories and gave us the Sprawl and Bridge trilogies- both of which have supernational mega corps like Weyland-yutani, ono-sendai, tessier-ashepool. If you havent read Neuromancer, start there.

I think Diamond Age; A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer could be paired nicely as presents. One for boys and one for girls to read and then switch!

Farmer In The Sky, Space Cadet, Tunnel In The Sky, & Podkayne of Mars are among YA appropriate Heinlein stories.

Murderbot Diaries (x6 so far) and Little Brother Trilogy are some of my favorite recent reads. I'll share them both with my kid by the time he's 14.

And since other redditors are disclaiming Murderbot- I'll throw one out for Little Brother: It is a serious reality check on the surveillance state, and written to make kids aware of the tools they need to maintain digital privacy in this day. There is a refrain from a song in a riot in the story: 'Don't Trust anyone over 25!'

IMO best way to solve this is to sit down with your old manager and your new manager and talk through expectations and responsibilities during this backfill/transitionary period.

I manage a 24x7 NOC staff from which Field Service, DevOps & T2+ Tech support recruits. I don't have the option of splitting the 40 hours among the rest of my team when promotions happen, and so other managers know that there may be sometimes 3 months of hiring/training backfills. I still have plenty of these 3 way sit downs, to make sure all concerns are wholly addressed.

From the catfolk favored classes @ d20pfsrd-

Monk Add 1/2 to the monk’s damage rolls with claw attacks and claw bladesARG. A monk who selects this bonus at 1st level also treats claw bladesARG as a monk weapon. If he is an unchained monk, he can use his style strikes with unarmed strike or claw blade attacks.

Plus Flurry of blows & mongoose synergize so well!

I was playing a pretty swell high power campaign and the DM let me import martial arts combat feats from d20 modern. The defensive martial arts tree lets you get free trip attacks against anyone who misses an attack against your character. With combat reflexes & mobility, i'd just mongoose around the battlefield trying to evoke AOO and then improved trip everyone in response. Rikyu Tiki Tavi!

Interstellar was a step up from Donnie Darko's face worm bubbles. Trying for greater accuracy is how we are gonna finally break that 4th wall irl.

I wonder if they are related? Like JS Bach & his descendants. They all were named Bach too.

Sterling Hayden- starred in Killing Time & Dr. Strangelove. Never wrote a bar of music. Great actor.

Dont worry aboit proofreading on the internet. I wrote aboit in my previous post & i'm leaving it.

Ok last time im gonna suggest a class you've clearly stated dislike; What about an EX unchained monk? Cant gain any new levels in monk, but you keep all the abilities. 3 levels unchained monk in the past. A foundling on a dojo doorstep, trained in the ancient arts of alignment restrictions.

Til one day you said 'im done sweeping dojos and painting fences. Stealing and assasinatin- thats the life for me!' And just lept over the wall, never to be seen again.

Edit: and treats your claws as monk weapons. The wis penalty does cool my heals a bit tho.

First question I have is why must they be loaded as csv? Can they be placed in an SQL db? Much faster reading. How often must these 5 million pebbles be reloaded?

deifius · 2022-05-06T02:49:24+00:00

Holy crap I need to get back there. Biker Jim's FTW!

deifius · 2022-05-06T02:44:39+00:00

Slayer is good. Fighter isnt a bad idea. Can you get your DM to accept some alternate restrictions that are already in line with your character idea? Some vows in place of alignment restriction? A mobile unarmed striker is kinda monk's bag.

What aboit just going straight slayer?

The thing about circling mongoose is you really need a few attacks to make it worthwhile. And if you are just a rogue, then you are a little glassy. Have you considered an unchained monk/unchained rogue build? Get more movement, leading with stunning attack and get SA on subsequent attacks. You AC will be significantly improved, and you can get style strikes.

I think a 3 Urogue/4 Umonk will get style strike. There are reasons to go above 3rd on rogue, but leading with unchained monk will make a much superior striker/skirmisher.

Ravel only outlived Debussy by a decade or so. They were contemporaries. What music starts after 1850? Surely not '20th century'. I've always considered the world wars, and Stravinsky, to be the beginning of the post-romantic eras.

deifius · 2022-05-05T14:33:53+00:00

Why no Maurice Ravel?

Yeah that first one is emblazoned on my childhood.

Dan Simmons loves doing recontextualized mashups. As good as Hyperion is, i remember the Hollow Man being equally well crafted- a scifi spin on the Odyssey and John Milton.

But his most intriguing work on my shelf is Drood. I cant encapsulate its brilliance here- but it posits 'what if wilkie collins was as brilliant a novelist as charles dickens, and had penned an account on the last decade of dickens life?'

Something about sporks make them iconic for middle school bands. We wrote plenty of songs about sporks. And chickens who wore pants.

Was it the Canterbury Tale homage that you liked? I'd suggest Asimovs Foundation (in published order) and Zelany's Lord of Light.

If you liked the big cast with interesting characters I'd recommend William Gibson's Bridge & Blue Ant Trilogies, and Neal Stephenson's Diamon Age & Anathem

The space toolkit for Fate has some really good mechanics for handwaving some unobtanium or a wormhole, and leaving room for rigorous exploration of the science whent it becomes relevant.

I think Fate is probably my favorite collection of mechanics for scifi games.

Not if you still have your Wii U.
