Poe2 still had the problem of the game being balanced around rtwp so there were approximately 7 billion trash mobs that require no strategy to pad out the experience

Area of effect spells in an rtwp game where all your ai companions rush into the target area before the spell is finished casting and the only way to avoid this problem is to pause and micromanage everything

Rtwp is only faster than turn based so long as you never use any tactics

AC Graham reorganizes the text a bit but he includes a lot of excellent supporting material/annotations

Brook Ziporyn sticks closer to the ordering of the original text, and has good annotations but not as extensive as Graham's

Graham has firmer philosophical grounding but Ziporyn still excellent

AC Graham or Brook Ziporyn

It's an ancient game at this point but I prefer Dust Devils to any number of "weird west" games because it actually feels like a game made by someone who loves westerns rather than someone who loves the aesthetic of westerns in the abstract

One objection I have to the ttrpg mashup sickness is that at least some of the genres getting mashed up get reduced to set dressing and the common themes that give those genres their unique textures are subsequently ignored in favor of just doing another quippy fantasy outing.

They also don't intervene because they consider Israel an ally! China is especially a big trading partner with Israel, they export so much surveillance tech to the country

I ran a kusoge tournament that featured elfmania and that game would've been way better if it used this track

I haven't, its been on my to-read list for a long time after I got hooked on those historic farms series

Have you ever watched Tales from the Green Valley or any of the BBC Historic Farms series that followed from it? It's my absolute favorite documentary series

Whoa it's so cool to see a game inspired by umihara kawase

first is simple past tense, an action was completed

second is past progressive form, indicating that the action was interrupted or happened in parallel with another event

The myth of malevolent competence is one of the more escapist tendencies in conspiracy theories, especially compared to the actually existing conspiracies

To be fair, even when constrained to landlordism, abusing labor, and surveillance, china still has the tech advantage
