the border patrol's early years (when it was quite literally a make-job by fdr) were particularly trigger happy. it's also a lot like cops and the us military where a lot of the people who are willing to sign up come from families where the culture of shooting your issues are especially ingrained.

the upsetting thing is a bunch of people on this site take it *very* seriously

I didn't play it for a few reasons, mostly financial, but I won't lie and say my own DND exhaustion didn't play a part.

I genuinely think he's the greatest horror short story writer of all time when he's on. I marvel at his stuff all the time when I read it.

Interesting. I really want to start a game group again and I love DMing, I just hate running DND lol

Oh I just want a good game with none dogshit combat if it comes to that. Pathfinder is way too crunchy for me personally.

How do I know if Fabula Ultima is right for me?

holy shit, I have a story for you, but I have to DM it

I'm the exact right amount of influential: enough to change an institution from the inside without somehow ever being discovered or fired, but not enough to support myself independently. It's honestly a crazy coincidence but it works for me.

Even obamacare lol

Usually when people hit a Tumblr cadence about world events they don't come to pass

Here's the problem: I like my fiction and based on my own parameters for me to rubber stamp my own "public" writing, I think it stands up to snuff.

There are so many brilliant authors who seem to have an organic ability for building a narrative that supports and is supported by an indeliable concept and image and that's the hardest thing on the planet. It's one thing to come up with "ghost of baby you killed", writing BELOVED, otoh...

You don't need me to tell you don't do something that makes you sick but if we talked about how often alcohol made people scream and vomit we'd be here all day. I'm not discounting CHS exists but the way it's reported on doesn't pass the smell test.
