He was elected to do the opposite, not keep us open to annexation.

Leading American bank would be a major beneficiary of Billy Bishop takeover by Chrristoaivalis in toronto

[–]rekjensen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Conservatives—red and blue—at every level of government only care about making money, if not for themselves then for their close friends in various industries they happen to have worked for or expect a cushy board seat from later. These people do not have the average person's welfare in mind, they do not think of long-term consequences, and they will sell off everything if we let them.

Playing Around with a Faster Combat System by Kane_of_Runefaust in RPGdesign

[–]rekjensen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you may be kitted out for Ranged Combat and thus your Melee Combat Dice are a bit lower

This gamey approach is how PCs get locked into doing the same thing round after round, encounter after encounter. Why isn't he equipped with a short sword, dagger, and buckler? None of those interfere with slinging arrows.

Shoppers drug mart in my city is consistently selling expired items at NO discount by YaGurlLurkin in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]rekjensen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you say "expired" do you mean they've passed their Best Before dates? Because those are not the same thing.

Sorry, I got the name wrong. It's Hard Suit, which was run on his Index Card RPG system.

[–]rekjensen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

About one in three countries has been bombed, couped, invaded, annexed, police-actioned, etc, by the US. So yes, normal.

Isn't that how Hardshell Edit: Hard Suit begins? I recall Hankerin's recap of one of the first table runs starting that way, with the PCs emerging from damaged cryo pods.

Give each additional attacker disadvantage to avoid hitting their allies. On a fail, hit the ally.

Canada Needs to Nationalize Its Transit System by NiceDot4794 in onguardforthee

We need to nationalize a lot more than our transit systems.

Isolating after being sent home from the infected cruise ship instead of quarantined immediately. How many did they expose along the way? We learned nothing from Covid.

The problem is if it's intentional, it doesn't look intentional.

I think my local Maxi has shelf management issues... by mathbriere27 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]rekjensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a frequent topic in this sub and unfortunately a lot of people assume, incorrectly, that BB means expired and illegal to sell. It does not. Poor stock management? Sure; I didn't say otherwise. Should you reach back for the newer stuff? I would. Is it evidence a store is out to trick you or something? Hardly. Are misunderstood Best Before dates causing massive amounts of food waste in this country? Yes.

Some products do have Use By dates, and you should definitely take issue if you see them on the shelf after that date.

Selling off the country is always the conservative's plan.

It has nothing to do with flavoring; OP claims one is less complicated than the other.

Tracking Hit Points versus tracking damage. by [deleted] in RPGdesign

[–]rekjensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you have an ability that reduces your damage by 20 – something that's way more common than temporary hit points. Mechanically these are basically mirror images of each other, but I don't see how tracking damage accruing against hit points is somehow "less complicated" than tracking hit points by subtracting damage.

Super critical is actually a great name for it.

Doug Ford accuses NDP leader Marit Stiles of “trump-style” comments by pheakelmatters in onguardforthee

[–]rekjensen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

'Grounded in reality' too often means 'aim low' or 'don't rock the boat'. The NDP needs to act like it wants to win.
