I may not be The Admiral you want, but I am The Colin Avenger you need. A little pink sorceress when I need to be. Bunny-loving tornado-spotting AFOL astrophysicist librarian dice goblin with really nice pens. Trans lives matter. Punch Nazis.

Sidekicks. Guilty.

Last session, I converted one of the enemy to my religion and am going to make him my acolyte. (I'm a sorceress, btw, not a cleric or paladin. Also maybe a little crazy.)

So in selecting your next choice of read, it's all one big game of Jenga?

FWIW I've had jaundice and liver damage at least three times as an adult because of antibiotic allergies. It's not fun. Hope you are able to find answers.

After nearly 22 years in Minnesota, I still don't have a good sense of where/what Uptown is. But then I have never lived in the Minneapolis city limits either.

Wait until you find out how many businesses he has bankrupted.

He is such a great businessman! You can tell because of the massive phallic necktie!

On this day 6 years ago, I was still about two weeks into a three week fight with covid probably alpha strain and still quite worried where it would take me.

20 years ago this month, our house was broken into and the ptsd from that still disrupts my sleep every March.

Understandable! Much of the US is built specifically for cars and to hell with pedestrians. I lived near Detroit ("Motor City") for a decade and it is particularly bad there.

We wonder why so many Americans are out of shape!

I was certainly healthier in my youth in a bike-friendly college town.

Well, I think, unintentionally, the audience is now two. The other audience member is Colin Jost, who is sending up his nonsense with an OTP version of Hegseth's pressers the following Saturday.

Late 80's transition mostly into GURPS, 2nd ed then 3rd. Such a versatile system.

One from the 80's I own, but never really got to play, that has some wonderful comedic game mechanics, was the 1980's Ghostbusters RPG. Each ability score had one skill you could develop for a boost, but you could

Fantasy's not my genre so when other games came out I moved on from D&D.

In the early to mid 80's, I played a lot of FASA Star Trek and Victory Games 007 (favorite). Dabbled in Twilight 2000, Travelers, Paranoia, Toon, FASA Doctor Who. Also did a lot of non RPG like Star Fleet Battles, Diplomacy...
