Mad inventor. Rides bikes a lot. Plays D&D. Forager.
Statistically that's inevitable.

You can have a great deal of affection for the fans and the club but lament that its been bought with blood money of the Saudi soverign fund. I can't cheer for any team against NUFC, but I can't forget how incredibly wrong this sportswashing is.

Weird. I've never fantasised about being James Bond. Why be a Bond when you could be a Q?

To this day I have no comprehension as to what the whole "how often do you think about the Roman Empire?" thing was meant to be about.

Can monopoly get worse? Isn't it literally designed to suck?

Dunno about a road bike but I'm told Bikes on the Tyne is good.

...(2/2) from conceptualisation to delivery this IS a racist policy, because how it impacts on people depends on their cultural identity and skin colour. You know who'll be asked more. This is unavoidably institutionally racist.

...which isn't to say its bad. I just can't think of any one thing in it that I don't think is better done in another game, in fact there's no one thing in it that isn't better done in another D&D. The overall whole is playable if, frankly, way too big.

5th ed has no one thing that I think makes it better than any other game, especially when compared to e.g. classic (BECMI) D&D. In trying to get rid of all the suck, they rather failed to make it inspirationally different in itself.

...and that's scale. Its really rather hard house ruling a game that's 1100pages+ in its core rules. It's such a behemoth of a system now, its rather harder to build your own version. Which is, I think, its key weakness.
