A couple people have already given me over $500, I can't thank them enough.
Apparently I owe $1500 in medical debt thanks to the 5 minute ambulance ride I took when I was passing a kidney stone ko-fi.com/post/1500-Me...

I am reminded of (probably apocryphal) story of a political candidate in the South in the early 1900's, putting up posters accusing his opponent of being a "Known Homo Sapiens"
I’m going to just assume anyone who reads my feed is smart enough that I don’t have to comment.

"AI of dead family member" was LITERALLY THE PLOT of an episode of Max Headroom.
I feel like the types of people who would make an ai version of a dead family member would also stalk their kids who cut them off

For me it was Steve Jackson (the American one) and Aaron Allston.
Like @floaker.bsky.social, it's Steve Jackson (the British one), Ian Livingstone, and Marc Gascoigne. I'm pretty certain that I did not know the name Gary Gygax until much, much later. I probably knew who Frank Chadwick was before I knew who Gygax was!
Conversation with @deadlyfredly.bsky.social has me trying to remember the first time I consciously remembered the name of an RPG designer who wasn’t Gygax. Embarrassingly, I am pretty sure it wasn’t until college, after I’d been playing for years and had been exposed to many games.

people bitch about woke media but if TOS was on today they would go to a thinly-veiled MAGA planet where the locals worshipped guns and then kirk would hit the orange dictator with a two-fisted karate chop before giving a lecture about how science is real and violence is bad

So I'm thinking about hitting up DriveThruRPG for some classic RPG experiences. Should I start with Spawn of Fashan, Senzar: Roleplaying for the Next Millennium. or World of Synnibarr?

An administration battling to stay above water in Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, & Florida in its first year is not an administration that can enforce its will on the electorate. And it's not as if they're getting any less obnoxious.

So GURPS 4th Ed. (revised) is coming out soon, which will be in a more readable format, fix the errata, change some problematic wording. And yet won't break the pages references so it'll be backwards compatible with all the supplements.
It'll be a neat trick if they can pull it off. #sjgames
