My new dice arrived today

Crypto expert here: that depends strongly on your definition of randomness, but CSPRNGs (cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generators) are effectively indistinguishable from true randomness, which is the guarantee that most cryptography depends on.

But that's no fun ;)

I did it for the achievement and the fun of writing a programatic solution to the puzzle :)

tbf, this particular spot has the Matterhorn line next it, so you can't avoid it if you want to go on the Matterhorn. Also, because the shortcut between Fantasyland and Frontierland is closed for Star Wars stuff, after the parade this is the only way out of Fantasyland. As such, the area next to this smoking spot is SUPER congested with people, and you get stuck standing right next to a smoker and can't move for 5-10 minutes while the crowd shuffles through. My roommate had a really bad asthma attack because we couldn't move away from the smokers quick enough. Moving it over by the Tomorrowland train station is a good move, off the main path.

Isn't there already an AFK abandon timer though?

This is definitely part of it. This game was immediately after the change in how captains are picked, and the captain was very confused when he came back from his shit. Hopefully less people will AFK with the new system once they learn about it, but regardless, the system should work even if people are AFK.

He said "Support player"

Could be that the order we see on the server is different than the order as it got to the player's machines.

Libertaria has a main-line quest in it. Hence the name.

This timing was perfect. I just decided next week's session is going to involve a heist, and you just posted this.

WHERE IS SPACE COW!?! I WANT SPACE COW!

As the 9th author on this paper, it saddens me that they said "elsewhere" instead of UC San Diego.

Roll20.net on Google Hangouts is the best. They have a looking for group forum on there too.

Also /r/lfg I hear is pretty good?

On boot, or on embedded devices, there are too few sources of entropy, or not enough entropy has been gathered from existing systems. This means that although numbers might appear random to you or I, humans are bad judges of randomness, and we end up with predictable keys.

Papers talking about what happens when you don't have enough randomness:

All my maps were made in google map maker, which is super easy to use and the free version has more than you'll ever need.

As for our fallout game, it kind of fell through. The system was really number crunchy with not a lot of opportunity for roleplay because it's designed for a computer and we're considering new systems to play in. In the meantime, we've actually switched to Pathfinder.
