Absolutely great show, could never understand why it never got a second season. The ending was a terrible cliffhanger too if I recall correctly.

Remember, a credit score is just a measure of how good you are at strangling yourself without ever dying.

I remember getting this booklet unexpectedly in a Games Workshop mail order box. I knew I was going to buy this game as soon as it was released just from the small amount of fiction contained within.

Jonathan Rossβ€”the ICE fascist who killed Renee Goodβ€”is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.

The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.

Abolish ICE.

When I saw a headline today announcing that scientists can turn lead into gold I couldn’t believe it. It’s not April, so it seems the ridiculousness of humanity has now trasferred to the laws of science.

β€œSure, we can make Alchemy real, why not?” is physics’ response to current human assholery.

What did Garak ever do to suggest he and Bashir were exclusive?

In online games retail I got my solo working used against me as an incentive to accept the job at a low salary, β€œYou can still run your existing company too!”

Gee, thanks! I guess I was mainly looking to get this job because I prefer to do my current work in the evenings. πŸ™„

He was perceptive enough about the world around him to make being a festering piece of shit even more inexcusable than if he had been a typical MAGA idiot.

If they named everything in the β€˜say what you see’ style of GH superheroes, you’d have Psi-girl and Grumblecop fighting the evil of Demonhulk and his Sea Anemone-head henchmen (okay, maybe that last one needs some work).

My Open Letter To That Open Letter About AI In Writing And Publishing The tl;dr before you get into this post is this: the SFWA came out, said that some AI usage was okay enough in books for the authors of those books to not to be disqualified from winning a Nebula a…

From Chuck Wendig:

"Remember, the AI is fed with the work of actual humans. Why do you think that is, exactly?

"If you use it, it means you’re replacing people.

"People who could’ve done the job better.

"People who actually did the job, and now their work is pilfered and duped."

I had (probably have somewhere) their opposite numbers, the Knights of the Cleansing Flame. I’m sure there were specific WFB rules for both in a Citadel Compendium or Journal.

Now I realise that the Cleansing Flame were probably just as unpleasant to cross as the Red Redemption.

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

That’s not to say there aren’t a good number of Necromunda players who have tried and love Combat Zone - last year saw more new CZ players - but like you say, there aren’t as many as you’d think there’d be.

And now I have an Orlock gang to go with my Tyger Claws and Zoners. πŸ˜…

Nobody thinks its a slick system, everyone complains about the number of books they need to play. But its a comfortable familiar world which they can set their gang’s narrative exploits, and they’re very happy there.

I got games in, but only with folks that specifically came to play Combat Zone.

It’s not just a problem for new games/settings, if that makes you feel better. I spent this weekend at a predominantly Necromunda skirmish event playing/demoing Cyberpunk Red Combat Zone. Even after 2077 and Edgerunners, where folks love the setting, the 40K lore drags them in and keeps them there.

Pendragon: Classic Edition Bringing the iconic Pendragon 1st Edition collection back to life!

I just backed Pendragon: Classic Edition on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

This was the second RPG I ever played, and to say that it led to high expectations would be an understatement.

A4 print of EzySummersCosplay's Misty cosplay (from Cyberpunk 2077), sitting ontop of the packaging it arrived in, with a Panam/Aldecaldos sticker and a Thank You note at the bottom. The print shows Ezy cosplaying as Misty sitting with a spread of Tarot cards infront of her. "The Chariot" Ezy and a heart are written in the top left corner.

Ah, true. I think individual ones maybe have a bit of a rep, like Black Shuck, but then I apparently grew up in prime Barghest territory and had no real knowledge of it at all.

They are pretty cool though and extremely easy to convince yourself you’ve seen, so I guess I should support them better.
