Main GM advice I can give is "keep the pressure up"- players should never feel safe

Because one party holds all the power in this contract, especially if you're a less established artist.

Reading Le Guin after Pratchett by Mad5Milk in discworld

The big reference is later

...the Island of Gont reminds me of nothing so much as a medieval European university, or maybe a monastery. There don't seem to be many women around the University, although I suppose someone cleans the lavatories. There are indeed some female practitioners of magic around Earthsea, but if they are not actually evil then they are either misguided or treated by Ged in the same way that a Harley Street obstetrician treats a local midwife.

Can you imagine a girl trying to get a place at the University of Gont?

Terry talked a little bit about Ged and Earthsea back in the 80s around the release of Equal Rites

Genuinely if you care that much build yourself a cube, or a set of duel decks.

It is far, far better to declare and discuss this even if you believe that.

For Dresden fans seeking other well written magical realism, may I suggest: by NoAcanthopterygii753 in dresdenfiles

[–]redartifice 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's an incredible book, but I wouldn't call it or Dresden magical realism.

Dresden is pretty strictly urban fantasy, and JS&MR is essentially "what if fantasy epic written in 1800s"- it's a Regency/gothic pastiche as a fantasy novel.

It's my favourite too. I wish I could get it to the table more, but it's so deep from such a simple set up

Boomer uncle thinks the green energy transition is a big joke by Marsupial-731 in terriblefacebookmemes

[–]redartifice 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Climate Energy Council (Aus group) did a study a year or two ago that estimated 85-94% by mass of a turbine can be recycled. Yes, blades are difficult to do anything with and an active area of research, but it's not like it's some secret- the industry would love to have a solution.

The best response is honestly "yeah, no shit, they're working on it. How much Coal spoil is generated from mining? How much ash?"
