People should use whatever skill or stat for any check they can justify, to be honest.

"But what happens when everyone's rolling Bluff to attack by feinting or Stealth to hide their smirk from the crowd or Arcana to magically light a fire"

It fucking kicks ass? Do you hear this shit?

And I wish there was more skepticism exhibited towards giant corporations who exist to make profit for shareholders. I don't care if people like pods, but I *do* care if options which let consumers figure out ideal dosing for themselves are artificially worsened as it sure seems like they are.

Hello, The Internet.
I hate doing this.

Our cat is sick. Wife brought him in to be on oxygen earlier this evening and I'm stuck at work. We've had him longer than we've been married.
I'd rather provide a service than beg, but I'm not above begging.

Please help.

Today sucks.
I had a nightmare a bit after midnight and wasn't able to get back to sleep, and then the lobby was closed for renovations and the only way to get tacos was the drive-thru, so I don't have tacos.
What a waste of a Tuesday.

You can't say "our very democracy is at stake" and then vote to approve Trump's nominees and court mythical center-right Republicans by trotting out Meghan McCain. You need to be acting like Democracy is at stake. The fact that they don't understand this is driving me mad.

Why does EVERYTHING have an app, a club, a subscription fee, or all of the above?

The internet was supposed to be fun, and now I have to pull my phone out all the time or I’m “losing money”.

They don't believe that violence isn't the answer. They just believe they should have a monopoly on its use.

Dear All--
I had an idea for an RPG show a couple of years ago, but I needed a few good nerdy partners and I found them. We've been working on this for over a year and in October it will arrive. It will be epic. What is it? Who is involved? Well, you'll have to watch this space to find out!
