My first 5 #TTRPG 1. Paul Kaiser's Nimolee 2. Russell Vannemans's Hyperborea 3. D&D (white box) 4. Traveller 5. Call of Cthulu Games I ran combined 1,2,&3. Or 4 AD&D was published between 3 and 4. I looked at it and bought the Monster Manual as a reference for my own games, but rejected the system

The problem is that the Presidency was never intended to be this powerful. There is no immunity in Article 2. Only Congress can declare war. Pres has a veto, must enforce the law and reps the country internationally. That's fucking it! Money out of politics! Elect a fucking Congress that reps us!

The Ministry of Ungentlmanly Warefare. Interesting insight in to James Bond. No, Bond isn't in it, but Ian Fleming is.

What was the last movie you watched?

Working on a #TTRPG setting for #Dragonbane around the town of Char - so named because it was built on the ruins of Hoblingham after the latter was burned to the ground in the great dragon attack of 666.

Hate it when they miss the quest hook, lol.

I'm not saying it was a quest hook, I'm just saying I'd feel pretty stupid if I ignored it and missed the beginning of my adventure.

I had my annual social work check up yesterday. I guess that's a thing that happens when we get old. I took the Trump IQ test... well, just the clock and the words. I passed. I already knew I had high IQ. Now I know I'm not too far into dementia, lol. #mentalhealth

#ttrpg #dragonbane Char is located between Drako Canyon and the Cursed Forest. It will serve as the PC base from which they will adventure. I'm laying out the whole country in broad strokes in case the PCs want go elsewhere.

#ttrpg #dragonbane Here's a partial rough map of the area around Char. Most of the action will take place in the forest and the mountains NW of Char... but I'm mapping more than that for future expansion.

Why are we in the mess we're in now? Because we didn't hang Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee after the Civil War and that set a bad precedent. Traitorous leaders should be hanged on the Capital grounds and left to rot as a warning for future insurectionists. They're going to do it again.

It is amazingly refreshing to have someone elected to office actually do what he said he was going to do. Never before in my lifetime that I can remember.

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

ICE is a criminal conspiracy. Every agent needs to be prosecuted and jailed as well as the people at the top. All the way up to where the buck should stop.

Does the Constitution require separation of church and state? Yes. It's in the 1st A. It's also in the Bible. Mark 12:17 & Matthew 22:21 both quote Jesus saying in essense: Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; render to God the things that are God's. That's separation of church & state.

It's likely that the Dems will control Congress in Jan. I have a very low bar for what I would consider acceptable from them: Impeach, Convict, Remove, Ban, Indict, Convict, Imprison, & drop the key in Mt Doom. It would be nice if they would also get us out of war & drop our "alliance" with Israel.

Maybe we've become the Soviet States of America? But I think as long as we're supporting the genocide perpetrated by the terrorist Israeli state, we're still the Nazi States of America. But the United States of America is dead, for sure. RIP.

It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country. Now its russia?

I'm torn between hoping our fascist dictator lives long enough to spend the rest of his life in prison and hoping he just dies soon. The problem with the latter is it would leave rest of the criminals running the regime in place.

When you have a "President" who routinely pardons criminals and carries out political prosecutions of his enemies... sooner or later, patriots are going to start shooting said pardoned criminals just to get some kind of justice. And they won't be wrong. (quotes bc 14A prohibits him from the office)

#ttrpg #traveller Making some tokens for space combat. Here's a 200 ton Free Trader token. I'm not happy with the bridge and backbone of the ship, but I don't know how to fix it.
