I would have given Gilligan Sloth and Lovey Gluttony, though that’s also a bad fit.

I had no idea Jennell was also an artist. That’s awesome.

And it will get zero coverage or traction in the news. This is the first and last you’ll hear about it. Our country is fucked.

I don’t know. His females in Ringworld weren’t very sapient.

Kurt, I just heard a rumor that DC is bringing back LSH. Do you know anything about it? I’m just hoping it’s better than that first issue of DC KO. Ugh.

James Bond RPG from Victory Games. Okay, not technically a 2-player game but a 00 agent needs no teammates.

At this point I don’t care and I think it’s probably healthier for him to just move on to new stuff.

White Plume Mountain. It's in the...dozens now?

Middle-aged for a vampire.

Here’s a secret: I’m good friends with Captain America.

I call these “nest eggs”. What about you?

Sociologists and demographers sometimes narrow it a bit — for example, “early middle age” (40–54) and “late middle age” (55–64).

Culturally, many Americans associate middle age less with a specific number and more with life milestones, per the internet.

Technically, yes but nobody says someone in their 30s is middle aged.

Wait…Taylor Swift is middle aged?

I had a great time putting together an obsidian database of my Runequest game and then found that I was unable to transfer anything from my PC to Chromebook and maintain the links. It was so frustrating I went back to Notion.

I loved the first edition of Chill. Good game.

Why did WOTC lose all the licenses?

Wait, he was only supposed to hit the earlobe!

Damn, my schadenfreude is really acting up.

I love running across James Bond fans. An RPG ahead of its time.
