Quick turnaround. Enjoy.
From page 11:

"... we want to put the transcript out within a day."

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

You know, writing that up really drove home how much more enjoyment I get from game preparation than from game play.

Re: (Auto)biographical Dictionary of MDB/DM

I'm trying to remember if BYP posted on a.r.m. -- If I recall correctly his apologetics were sometimes a topic of conversation.

Re: (Auto)biographical Dictionary of MDB/DM

Example: Bret Ripley? would love to get that story. Chapter 1: It was a dark and stormy night. (I will try to come up with more later.) ETA: kidding aside, I'd be fine with sharing -- I just can't imagine it will be interesting unless I'm allowed to retcon in some ninjas or space marines. On a self...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Oh, and the players understood 4-arms burbling sounds at the end to indicate that this was Ommitt's avatar -- it was this realization that convinced the players that sparing 4-arms was the right move and in doing so had 'won' a sort of moral victory over Zenobia. Right or wrong, this feeling inspire...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

honorentheos: I am curious how you handled this, and how things are working out. Our group has only gotten together once since the last update. We started with the party split as some of the players confronted the witch Zenobia in her home while the others were locked outside. The session with the p...

I am more cynical. As I said earlier I honestly believe Smith had ADHA and just went for it without much planning or organizational skills.
"ADHA" = "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Aisorder?"
"Attention Deficit Homewners Association"? They get snarky if you finish mowing your lawn?

Re: MAGA Dilemma: Taylor Swift vs 49er

Man, I hope the Niners crush the Chiefs (but I have very little hope they will). Why? What’s the difference? Chiefs know how to Superbowl. https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/5BoMNT0rVnGRohMwMen7Gg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com/creatr-uploaded-...

Re: A Poor Woman With Dirty Clothes Ruined Louis Midgley's Trip To England

There are a lot of people like that in the UK. I have been in the UK for quite large parts of my life. Currently I frequently travel between a significant city and London. A long time ago I may have experienced one instance of somebody in the street smelling bad, but I think that was quite a few ye...
