I want to see Mike Johnson & his cronies live on off-brand Saltines, peanut butter, jelly & canned tuna for a week. Maybe a few packs of ramen, if they dare splurge a little.

Be sure to have lots of blankets for when the heat gets turned off.

Comfy shoes for walking when they can't afford gas.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Last night I was on the Eclectic Goat's stream (www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7th...) talking about EGURPS. There are a few things I didn't manage to get in. (That may have had something to do with a couple of significant tangents we took.)

See my replies to this.

And here I had been blaming two years of lockdown and only using my "Zoom voice" for the fact that I can't seem to project my voice anymore. Huh.

Takes require some evidence or you're just farting opinions

If you say it's more likely than not that PBMs and Pharma are not engaged in conspiracy... okay, here's the part where you can persuade someone of that - y'know, to prove it's just not some random feeling you have

And that's it for this thread. There is no way I could completely describe every thing cool about Thracia alone, much less what made this woman so good at level design. She's the fucking GOAT. Read her books. The end.

Also, it makes it possible for an encounter to be interacted with from two different floors, i.e. three dimensionally.

8) Level connections. This is just kind of a variation on 1 and 3, but dungeon levels have a similar relationship with each other that the overworld has to the dungeon (ie multiple ways to get there, pathing that might start on level 1, go to level 2, then back to level 1).

7)Factional play. If factions each have their own corners of the dungeon, and the players have different relationships with those factions, that will affect what the difficulty "hot spots" are and, again, change how players choose paths

6) Landmarks. Compared to stuff like Tegel or Palace of the Vampire Queen, Thracia has big "set pieces" or extremely obvious geographic quirks that, even if no direct interaction is had with them, make it easier to remember where certain encounters or treasure are, and aid in drawing their own map.
