  • I like the idea of giving the players whose characters are out of scene another character to play.

    I usually only do split parties for less than a session. The camera move and summary is a great idea.

    I usually switch the spotlight after someone has made a decision/roll, but before they know the outcome.

  • The allegations, first reported by the Globe and Mail, suggest the Tory leader’s win was not attributable to outside influence and Poilievre is not believed to have been aware of India’s efforts.

    I don't see this swaying many voters. It doesn't sound like it was a significant effort, nor does it sound like India got many votes with that gambit.

    Entertainingly, it does give the Liberals ammo to say yOu'R jUSt As BaD when their own nomination races come up.

    Damn we have shitty nomination safeguards.

  • Journalists hold politicians to account, and ask them to justify their decisions. If journalists don't ask accusatory questions, then they aren't doing their job.

    It's totally reasonable to say that journalists should be harder on Poilievre, but that doesn't mean they should stop asking Carney questions.

  • We'll see with time.

    The "you need to look within yourself" line was not a good look: it's a reporter's job to question, and it's a politician's job to answer reasonable questions. Hopefully he'll be less of a jerk answer politely next time.

    I'm holding out for the policy release, and hoping that the Liberals have decent answers to the cost of living and housing crisis.

  • Was there ever any doubt? Given his history, it's pretty clear where his policy priorities are gonna land.

    Like OP says, Poilievre appears to have worse policies than Carney, but that doesn't mean Carney deserves carte blanche.

  • As a GM, I get players to explain their hustle. For example:

    • Tech got a "You sabotaged some equipment - 200eb" so I asked the Tech what they sabotaged and who it was for. The player threw out some fun stuff about sabotaging a DJ's deck so they lose a DJ competition in a rave. I wrote down the DJ's name for a future plot hook.
    • Rockerboy got the "your song went viral - 500eb" so I asked him about the song. There's a rival band that he has bad blood with, so they're probably going to rip it off in future.

    The idea is to keep players awake and get them to flesh out their characters a bit. Maybe I can use it later, or maybe it just ties them a little tighter to the world.
