I’m fond of Judith Hoag’s performance. Also, I hate that Paige’s April basically never interacted with Casey. Whit doesn’t count.

The Klingons are out there, and we’re down here playing Century 23!

Well, Ireland didn’t get unified either.

Warren Zevon - “Life’ll Kill Ya” & “My Ride’s Here”

My father’s death doesn’t hit me in my day-to-day life much. But there are moments it hits me. Dad and Warren weren’t close, exactly, but they were fellow-travelers and Dad worked the concerts at the Capital.

I mean… Xena, Calypso, and Gabrielle confirmed I’m straight. But at least Joxer taught me the kind of guy to find as a best friend?

Oh, and always keep any women I care about away from Autolycus.

Mamoru needs to be there. Because when Usagi is in a rough place, it’s his job to save her.

*Hustle.

Yes, but are you surprised at SJG not being the top RPG? The media push after GURPS Cyberpunk has faded fully. If they’d stuck with Fallout, maybe it could change.

Gonzo wearing Spock ears just seems too apropos.

I’ll rate it as: Ancient Repost / 10.

I could name so many tabletop RPGs for this. Unfortunately, since Hasbro has dominated the space like a generational pile of elephant dung for over 2 decades now, and TSR actually did manage to make a few smart marketing decisions before Dragon Dice and the bankruptcy, I guess I can’t be too shocked.

So I guess I’ll go with a board game. Tsuro - The Game of the Path. It’s super-simple to learn and play, can be interesting for kids and adults alike, and it’s just a really solid, fun, game. There’s even an iOS version. I don’t understand why it’s a niche game instead of being front-and-center ahead of Monopoly or Clue(do). It’s not even prohibitively expensive, honestly - the wholly valid argument against Carcassonne and other niche games. There’s no good reason I can think of why Ticket to Ride is more popular than Tsuro.

Half of it is the sunk cost. Half of it is the Clans. Plus, MW2 and forward have had multiplayer Mercs modes with lance-vs-lance combats. Why would most people want to play on tabletop when that exists?

Admittedly, there is something satisfying about a Jenner with every jet in the world and a single PPC making a jump, cooling down in midair, and landing directly on top of an enemy and doing major structural damage before leaping away.

Pringles cans work even better than toilet paper rolls, in my experience.

I think they realized that they won’t get the jurisdiction to bend on this one, and the general response from UK government will be “good riddance to bad rubbish”.

In any language, LLAP.

I’m gonna bet on “Akoocheemoya”.

Better yet - each army’s player may nominate or provide not more than one cat, to be placed on the board according to Deep Strike rules.

Oh, the time might cause slower fielding play, but combined with the “ties are a mutual loss”, you’d have an ongoing scramble to get one over. It makes the whole game more defensive under the time limit.

Baseball: Strictly timed innings. Take the average time of innings in the last season or two, set that as the time. Inning ends when the time ends. I don’t care if it’s mid-play, I don’t care if the ball’s in the air. And no extra innings. Tie game at the end of the 9th inning counts as a mutual loss.

Warhammer 40K: If it’s on the table, play it. I don’t care if it’s a Battletech model, or a can of coke. It’s a model, it gets a move, shoot, and melee.

It’s also available on Windows, and most other Linux distros.
