I'm pretty sure the bible says tap-to-mouth is the only moral manner of imbibing box wine. I will literally kill for this belief, as my father did before me, and his father before him
I want to run a forum game where each player is one little unit/squad on a hex, kind of memoir44-style.
I've had this in the back of my mind for months and just need to draw some units and figure out something besides random number range + modifier vs. static defense as the combat mechanic.
Each team would submit their turn on alternating days, like how Mafia/Werewolf players submit a vote every day.
The theory is that simple mechanics + social environment conducive to strategizing, shit-shooting, and smacktalk = entertainment.
so, Monte Cook is leaving the development team of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
some of you will give zero fucks about this news item since you don't know who Cook is or why you should care
but i'm really happy
Yes, this was mentioned in chat yesterday and resonated with some but not all. It must be a big development in the world of dice and snack-powered gaming.
I am about to be lazy and play Arkham City instead of working on a short paper for grad school. But ugh, I had a shit day yesterday and was doing work on stuff till 9 pm or so. So fuck it, this morning is mine.

TCA is a compound that causes wines to have that moldy-wet-cardboard taste and smell. Sometimes it is super obvious but sometimes it is so subtle that it's not clear that TCA is undermining the flavor and the wine just seems bad in a vague way.
Real corks cleaned with chlorine are a big cause of it.
Synthetic 4 lyfe
I am surprised that after a zillion years of winemaking it still afflicts as much as a bottle per case. Sounds like you guys need some Six Sigma up ins 8->
Winemakers are as bad as Republicans when it comes to change. Synthetic really is the way to go (I'm just giving desc shit).
I'm surprised they don't insist it still be made by slave labor. :bz

Can someone give me the rundown on why I shouldn't like Monte Cook and how his no longer contributing to D&D Fifth edition is a good thing?
He has an unshakable faith that you can balance elements in a game by making things weak/shitty now in comparison to being awesome later and vice versa. This has yet to work; in a social environment and over the timescale that RPGs are played (months if not years) it leads to people sitting around not being able to contribute to the game for the slim promise that they might be able to turn the tables and make everyone else useless later.
He also deliberately seeds designs with traps for the unwary - options that seem good but aren't. The theory is that this separates the l33t from the noobs. My feeling is that this is retarded and kind of hateful.
I will be incapable of being excited about 5E because I haven't even gotten to for-really-real play Gamma World 4E yet and Gamma World is :whistle: aaweesoomee :whistle:

cutting one frame out of 24 might be unnoticeable, but there is a huge observable difference between 30 and 60
or 24 and 48
just ask anybody whos ever played a vidya game
although some people dont notice / arent bothered by it
The comparison between video games and movies isn't a very good one. Regardless of graphical quality advances video games are really more analogous to cartoons. Cartoons suffer considerably less from the higher frame rate effects btw.

Have you looked into the [Phalla] stuff that goes on in CF, I don't remember if I ever saw you play there, but it was good fun in the old days when I did. Check out all the stuff that Infidel and Mr. Blarney do, especially [phalla] royale. It'd be very much up your alley I imagine and those dudes have done some crazy awesome stuff.

If you have the book right there, and can discern what the consequences of a design shall be, then in what sense is it a trap?

Is he going to make his own game? Because I'd play that.

Honestly, I have yet to go anywhere where the reaction has been anything less than jubilant.
Though I haven't peeked in on, like, Dragon'sfoot.
