- Define player interaction? My gripe is a lot of games do have it but if it’s not ‘take that’ then folks don’t see it.
- Yup. Curse of the modern euro. Everything and the kitchen sink. This track, that track, and so on.
- Dunno?
- Yes. MOAR FARMING GAMES!

Send in The Sisko in the Defiant. One tough little ship beats the entire Imperium of Man.

Oh I feel for Americans (well the ones who didn’t vote Trump) it’s got to be awful over there.

America is cooked. It isn’t coming back from what’s happening there. Not for decades or centuries. China (most likely) or Europe will become the new dominant superpower.

Ahh and yes Britain could have been a part of that European superpower. But we shot ourselves in the foot.

True. I like the Realms. Mostly because I have a fondness for Waterdeep and the intrigue (and there’s also a great board game themed around that!)

Shame. They’re much more interesting than most of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

Happy birthday! Tradition for me for my birthday is to be in the mountains of Wales.

I mean I wouldn’t call Planescape or Dark Sun vanilla. Forgotten Realms? Sure. Less so when the broke the world in 4th edition. That was a fun change.

Respect. Not easy to give up a sponsor but it’s the right thing to do.

NIMBYism at one end and badly managed multiple sub-contracted projects (and backhanders and corruption) at the other end.

Useless. Easily bypassed.

Yeah. I tried a few. Settled on OutdoorActive. Mostly for OS maps. I’ve learned to use it well enough eventually.
