This is my Caine headcanon, honestly.

The "God-Punished Caine" hoax will soon crumble in the face of mounting evidence for "Caine was a ontobiological weapon" theory.

Adjusted for inflation, Waterloo cost $130 million less than Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

"Corporate culture orientation" and other fun phrases they toss around in some circles of hell.

Half of them seem to have the internal thought process of Goblin Slayer, which is admirable Until It Isn't.

Not that it's universal. The Salamander guys seem chill (?)

I didn't realize how dismissive space marines were of the "Man" part of Imperium of Man.

Every Democratic fundraising text has the energy of opening a heavily monetized mobile game for the first time in three weeks.

And I enjoy GMing! I enjoy the work, but it is work and nobody's good at it out the gate.

There's all the work you need to do going into a session, and then it doesn't stop. Players bounce off one another, but the GM has to bounce off everybody and everybody off the GM. Lot of work, including work I didn't know was work until I didn't have to do it while running a solo.

Pulling rules from multiple sources and homebrewing for something I need to GM requires writing up a document and getting the exact wording down pat because I can't assume a player can make some logical leaps that I, somebody who spends hours prepping being a nerd, can without thinking.

I've had a pretty lucky GMing history because my players have been extremely respectful of the amount of work it takes to get these games up and running. I've been solo playing a lot lately because of time constraints and the difference is night and day.

HR guy getting secondhand winded from watching half a thousand guys not able to do a sit-up for a job that involves chasing people.

So true, handsome devil.

I've read Scion and TC Aeon, Assassins, Core, and Aberrant, and I still struggle to "get" it. I've read the Curseborne ashcan too but that's for Storypath Ultra which, thank god they didn't call it Storytime.
