"US Voters, % Agreeing" applies to both charts. It's a single diagram.

This is all bog standard shit. We don't actually follow the 'rules' set forth in Grade 7 math class. You know that, right? Things that are obvious with just the slightest bit of reading for understanding are usually not repeated.

I can attest that Alberta is a distinct society. Distinctly asshole. There's a reason she won the premiereship, and why she's been polling above 50% since.

She represents the place.

And who vote.

And who think "I sucker-punched them and now they're mad? Well, fuck them, then!"

The label is above. The graphs communicate clearly.

Conservative parties have been idologically opposed to the rights, freedoms, and prosperity of the regular person for centuries. Word meanings are contextual, and in the context of governing blocs, it's never meant "wary of change and sticking to what works". It has always meant "fuck you, I've got mine".

Amazing how the US government thinks US businesses have any standing in our country, after it wiped its ass with that trade treaty that wildly favoured them.

"Democrats didn't believe that the genocidal regime they sent bombs to would use those bombs to commit genocide."

"If you live in one of Canada'd largest cities, ebikes work great!"

Just another item on the "fuck people in smaller towns and rural Canadians, I want mine" wishlist, I see.

I have been told by multiple people (so, like, two. Maybe 3) over the years that things I have posted have changed their minds and their leanings on political topics. But these were not any of the people I was directly addressing. I think they may have all been before the rise of Big Social, too.

Everything points to a right-wing pivot for the liberals

The last Liberal government bought a $5B oil pipeline. This smells more like honesty and pragmatism than any kind of actual ideological pivot.

That's all well and good if you only have to transport yourself, and only have to go a few kilometres. Being a smug prick because you don't have any place to be or anyone else to bring with you does absolutely nothing to promote your cause to others.

Hahahaha. Those laws are for "citizens", not subjects.

 

Dungeons are fun, but they are (sic) great at everything. Knowing why they were used and how they are useful can help you game elevate dungeons to what they should be.

I thought this was a fun, and interesting video discussing the role dungeons have played in TTRPGs, and what they've been inspired by.

So, I spend what is objectively too much time on Kickstarter. Every couple of days, I buzz the site, primarily looking for my next fix of bestiaries for my Pathfinder 2e table (I don't know what it is about physically bound monster stat blocks on glossy paper, but I apparently need that shit hooked directly up to my veins).

This January's been a bit of a lull period for that, though. It has seen a bit of a resurgence on the D&D 5e front, though, with a bunch of interesting projects having released recently. I thought I'd pass some of them along (as well as everything else I've seen in the last couple of weeks).

Trump calls the US-Canada border an "artificially drawn line", in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the "build the wall" president could possibly utter.

But which probably isn't, because it's Trump.

 

So, I'm running the original 3e version of Forge of Fury, and my players are about to meet Idalla, the succubus. In the 3e version of the dungeon, Idalla is bound to the room, and just wants to leave. If she's attacked by a Good aligned character, she is free to leave... for some reason. Or, if she's granted permission from a Good aligned character, she's also free to leave.

I'm not at all sure how to run this. I foresee her explaining to the party that she's been magically bound to the room, and that the spell is broken just by giving permission, and then the party just... does. And she teleports away.

That seems totally pointless.

I really like the idea of there being a powerful being trapped in this room, though. It serves my purpose to have some sort of unexpected guardian in this space, and a filter that allows Good aligned characters through is really convenient in its own right.

Clearly, the solution is how I play the character, then, but I just cannot get myself inside her head. How do I make this interesting, and last longer than a single back-and-forth verbal exchange? The module gives her only real goal as being to leave, and I don't have a reasonable, interesting alternative.

Have you run this module before? How have you handled Idalla?

 

Crazy how the only one of these airing criticism that says the budget isn't doing enough is the publicly owned one.
