NOT replying to anyone specific:

I wanted to remind people that Hospice care is paid for by the government in the United States , and is free to all.

You do not need to have an immediately terminal illness to qualify, you just need to have a conndition that will end life. Hospice will help with other health issues as long as that one issue is not being treated to be cured. They offer training and grief counseling, and often can arrange for things like recognition of military service, innteractions with a church or community, etc. They have translation services for many languages.

People in other countries probably have similar services.

Many modern cultures do not teach us how to deal with dying, and Hospice can help people through the process. If its available and you have need, reach out for it.

I'd like to think that people get together on MU* or forums to share a few stories and celebrate the memories they have of someone who has passed.

@reimesu nah, that's exactly it. It's an elected, not bloodline position. Breha Organa is queen of Alderan, I assume for life or thereabouts.

I will say that if you ever so much as like an author on Facebook, you will get increasing offers for free books, free books on joining a newletter, or books for $.99. That's not a bad way to be exposed to fairly random things. I've even had it come around to authors I know, and who are fairly successful.

I grew up reading many of the "classics" and that included books recommended by Dragon Magazine (and others) as well as RPGs.

CJ Cherryh was a staple of mine, and I have I don't know how many series of hers left to try. It may come across as too dry (also as head trauma starvation theater).

I also dig the American Fabulists or whatever you call Tim Powers, James Blaylock et al.

I feel @VulgarKitten has violated the dream Nintendo issues SLA.

I would think that if anything it would make a mockery of American culture because in this case it will be a mockery of American culture trying to represent another culture. Or I would say that if mocking cultures isn't the sense of humor someone has, they wouldn't want Fallouts humor in the first place?

Or maybe people get serious. I know this pretty much shat on any interest I had in the idea. I'll leave it to the pros.

I'd tell him to check his own ego, and to step down from leadership for a year, say NOTHING about the leadership or direction for a year, and see what he learns. If he can't do that, it's about his ego, and not his God.

With remote sleeving, you just need to be within range of remoteing or transmitting to a body to be "in the same place".

It's almost like everyone who is within a minutes info transfer distance is in the same place, but really its that anyone (or their copies) can be inside of a certain radius and still interact with everyone else's extensions.

I was thinking more the difference between people who form varied groups by need, vs an established scooby gang. How you reward things will shape what players do. At the point here you want everyone to be in a gang, just say so, and move on with the premise that they will be in a gang.

I choose neither side, 4chan isn't a blip on my radar.

Have fun!

@Miss-Demeanor I think he apologizes for his decisions.

I do not know any details, but it sounds like he said "It's IC for my character to do X." Someone said "X really bothers me on an OOC level I can't deal with your character/you the player, if X is the decision you make IC ."

Maybe it's rape trauma. Maybe it's polyamory vs monogamy, maybe it's "my character thinks of a life of magical soul distorting slavery is worse than death".

To me, here, actions which are "good", the lesser good, yet still good, were placed up against what has now become the greater good, being kind about someones issues.

So no, the action of "keep it IC" stays a lesser good idea. The context shifted, where there was a greater good to be done, and he didn't recognize it. And now he does.

I really don't know, but I wouldn't want to assume and shut down people trying to apologize because they didn't phrase it to not just their targeted subject, but to me, and anyone else.

I'm certainly not going to apologize to anyone publicly on this board now.

Most people have no idea what it takes to make living happen, let alone how to do it in a post-apocalyptic setting.

I don't know how they will roleplay that, other than no one has anything, and no one knows how to make anything, or what they need, so this had better be Day 1 of the future.

How about call it "Music I enjoy"?

@buttercup I want to be friends just because of the account name.

I vote for Ares over the new Star Wars game.

Why?

• No matter what system you use, all of the info from the new products can be used, and the system used to get rough ideas of scales of ability and power. So use one you like best, or get best use from.
• The dice are awkward, swingy, and obscured. The first is the worst part, no matter your tastes otherwise.
• Players tire of constantly having to decide what Disadvantage and Advantage are used on (for every roll).
• The "feat tree" structure is convoluted and fairly unnecessary. You would do better just saying "you need X other feats from this group" before you can get medium and higher rated feats.
• Character templates are useful, classes less so, especially when you can add any class to your mix.

Ares! Ares! Ares!

My opinion is unsolicited.

Hit the Reboot.

I just expect Caryatid to stand there, watching by the entryway. Someday she might take a quarter step forward with one foot.

Quiet Room with channels is fine for me. it sidesteps the sense that since you share a space you should communicate with people near you. Include in the desc how to block people and channels, and you are good.

I am scarred and angry forever for the time I will never get back from watching the dumpster fire that was Sucker Punch.
