If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.

There's this, like, lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Suppose you're thinkin' about a Roland Zen Core synth. Suddenly some Unreal build process will say, like, "zen," or "core," or "derived data cache" out of the blue, no explanation. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"I saw a survivor roll himself away from the curb and try to pick up his teeth out of the gutter so he could stay in the fight"
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Watching the 1959 Hammer “The Mummy” with Cushing and Lee. Williams’ score for Raiders of the Lost Ark is full of nods to it.

Up for reelection in 2026, won 53-42 in Kansas. If you can’t build an attack ad around a howler like that, you’re in the wrong job.
Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"

How can we be expected to share a planet with these people?
Megyn Kelly says that simply murdering the survivors of a strike on a Venezuelan fishing boat isn't enough. She would prefer that they be subjected to extended torture to heighten their pain and agony. Megyn has captured the essence of what it means to be MAGA.

You might be interested to know that the symbol ! has another meaning. It's super widely used as an intensifier. The easy way to tell if a ! is the factorial operator is to look at the context in which its used. Surprisingly, for almost all non-mathematical contexts, it's the intensifier!
