Translators work hard to make sure that the translated words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, etc, not only convey the author's meaning, but also the author's *style.*

Translators are alchemists. They are artists, and poets, and researchers, and editors. They are magicians and wizards.

situations is "deadlier combat" instead of just not focusing on it. Want to make your game play faster? Deadlier combat. Discourage violence? Deadlier combat. Or, just don't have combat as a discreet option, and have mechanics that support diverse solutions.

Bonus rant.

Any skill engagement system that is constructed in the format of “roll to not look like a dumbass” is (modulo comedy), a failure to understand why people are here.

(The problem is not failure. The problem is is framing)

Swing by my building and put a few on my chair.

Maybe this is a sign I should run a magical school game.
