I'll send you an update once it's done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I'll have them doing Gradient Descent.

I'm prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

They'd need to be able to boost our morale with the litanies of hate. I did play in the Deathwatch RPG though which has a Chaplain class.

Wow yikes. You sound like fun at parties. Go find someone to care about.

For the record, I think there is a loneliness epidemic for both genders.

The worst part of this is the "This is part of the story"

This is just a toxic gender wars meme. Go outside, touch some grass, meet someone nice and move on with life. Memes like this come from and perpetuate the loneliness epidemic.

Sounds horrible tbh. A big part of the hobby is meeting new friends. This sounds like a good way to become socially isolated and depressed.

In my personal experience that's much more difficult

If this happens, the RPG is too complex for that player. Play a simpler system.

I ran a game of "Index Card RPG" with the setting "Blood & Snow". The setting includes an adventure seed where Cavemen have to search for ancient relic pillars every generation to stop an Ice Age. I never told my players, but in my mind we were playing a Warhammer 40k game and this was a world a space marine chapter used to recruit those who were strong enough.

B/X is good. When characters have d6 hp and it's instant death at 0 the combat becomes way more serious and tense.

Warlock is a rules-light version of warhammer fantasy roleplay. The core dice mechanic is d20+skill. Combat rolls are opposed rolls, sword vs mace skills for example. It uses the career system from wfrp so characters start as something like rat catcher and change careers to advance. If you like the warhammer old world but don't want a crunchy game, I'd recommend it.

Great to know thanks! Sad to say but this is much less of a news story. China doesn't care about dual citizenship, this would have been a huge escalation if they hadn't been and it's click-bait that the article title doesn't mention it.

I wish they would tell us if the Canadians also had Chinese citizenship since China doesn't recognise dual nationals.

Project Gutenberg and librivox are decent resources for free older books. The author needs to have been dead for 70 years, so they are old but I've enjoyed "The Lost World" and "The hour of the dragon"

If you're going to die, better to die on the main quest. I avoid side quest distractions.

I've got,

OD&D, BX*, DCC*, OSE*, Black sword hack and Basic Fantasy. I've also got a couple that are OSR in spirit, Cairn* and Warlock*.

My favs are BX and warlock so far. I'm eager to try out Black Sword Hack for another take on it.

DCC has amazing art but wasn't my favourite otherwise.

The vvitch was a pretty decent horror movie. Kind of slow and atmospheric.

This is exactly what happens in the Battlestar Galactica reboot with all the fancy newer ships in the first couple episodes.

CBC Gem has a documentary about the Proud boys founder. I think it's worth a watch.
