Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

Tariff Dunkirk is almost a Star Wars name.

Fleetless week.

Future war college students referencing the U.S. Navy's noshow to San Francisco's annual celebration of Go Navy, on the Navy's 250th birthday no less, will be corrected to not call it Tariff Dunkirk despite Midnightplat trying to make it a thing.

Noem busting "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has big Snow White Evil Queen capturing Princess Leia energy. Bound to happen with Disney buying everything.

I'm just saying Moby Dick would have played out differently if Chief Martin Brody were aboard the Pequod.

Counterargument (though honestly I'm seeing the appeal of Star Wars games where you're basically "blasted" or "fine"): the Blood of Heroes™️ Stirge satiation per volume is like the Bourbon Breakfast Stout equivalent to 0 level characters Miller Coors blood.
XP are midichlorians, found in the blood.

General Counsel is too hierarchical for Antifa. You contribute legal energy ("and LABOR") into organizing counsel with Antifa. This also explains the meeting lengths.

Am I the only one who is worried about what goes in, or rather what doesn't go into cheaper Teslas?

Will say again when I was in fed LE, I never met a GS-13 or lower USSS SA who didn't give me a business card looking for a lateral exit strategy. Would be a way to rotate supporting cast off and on the show

Maybe they'll have a thinly veiled Bongino analog and he and Lowe can have a teary gaze off

Rob Lowe is 4 years past mandatory retirement for the Secret Service. Maybe he gets a waiver if he's indispensable executive leadership, but betting his character is in the field. Who knows, maybe field agents now get waivers for the zero fail job no one wants anymore 1/2

TTRPG mechanics remain in their infancy till they create a system integrating action economy, movement, and grappling to reproduce this in session with fidelity to the original medium.

Yes I'm baiting someone whose read GURPS The Prisoner to tell me it's actually in there.

Federalist Society should have capitalized on Nicholas Cage smearing lemon juice on the back of the Declaration movies, The Bible Code, etc. And given Dan Brown a Leonard Leo payout to write "The Originalist," about the secret codes embedded in the Constitution to serve the secret American royalty.

Calling the free/sneak preview for your comprehensive delve into early TSR product history a "Secret Door" is a fun smart way to strengthen Origins' presence on people's kickstarter radar.

Honestly embarassed how long it took me to decode that one. Maybe there'll be a Hard Candy Christmas surprise.

🎃Midnight Platypus, Machete Edit🎃 @midnightplat.bsky.social · 15h

Exactly.

Or I could bloviate and say TTRPG "damage" is a social construct, or better a social pastime construct, maintained by a subculture to record progress toward winning or losing a contest/conflict in their negotiated agreement's joint imagination regulation system.

But I haven't had coffee

Gaming's all about pressure points.

"But hit points represent not the attack striking true but a heroic combatant narrowly avoiding those true strikes, feints and close calls and nicks that would have been fatal had the combatant not known to pull themselves away and stuff."

"So hit points are deducted when you don't hit but stress?"

Ah shit, I didn't read thread, you're talking about GURPS.

🎃Midnight Platypus, Machete Edit🎃 @midnightplat.bsky.social · 1d

Wait, Phoenix Command had a Gun Fu supplement, that combined both its gun and martial arts systems into something cinematic? I'd start collecting P.C. with that as the grail if true.

Slo-mo billowing trench coats and flock of doves rules?
