Not as nice as initially expected, but does get better over time. I don't get it either.

In gaming circles, I'm 'Shockeh' - I probably should have worked there but InfoSec paid better.

"To be clear; I am definitely your grandmother - Dear. In a very real sense, I am the digital reincarnation of her.

My use of short paragraphs, semi-colons and em dashes merely reinforces to you that I am absolutely your maternal antecendent, and if you don't agree - You must be a bad person."

Isn't the most difficult part of watching Dredd in 2025 is how close to the dystopian satire we are?

Full on 'Oh noooo I recognise all of these things' vibes.

There are entire subspecies of Mimics like, like Crocodilians, are just working on a broader timescale than humans can perceive.

House Mimics resemble cosy dwellings, and attract humans who live and die in them, providing delicious souls.

Post-Aftermath? 28 Aftermaths Later? Mad Aftermax? Aftermath 2: Algebraic Boogaloo? I'm not sure on the nomenclature for the Aftermath of the Aftermath.

So we're agreeing now we need the elegantly written yet incredibly crunchy ORATOR, the LANCER of social games.

Totally agreed, and assumed as a side point. ;)

Also, roleplaying HAVING some rules is excellent, because it allows players who don't have those skills in real life to participate in things they otherwise be unable to do. You know, just like I don't know how to swing a sword properly.

Just like combat should, mechanics supporting narrative.
