DM trying to get you to pass the bottle.

Such a good comic. There should be more swords in them though 🗡️

Well, he is probably trying to get Putin to invade Canada, because he couldn’t get the US to do it.

One orange brain cell. Which cat has is?

Unfortunately, the answer is going to be complicated by “we won’t know it’s safe in the long term without first doing it then waiting”.

The same issues applied to gender reassignment, but we somehow figured that out. If people want to become Heracles using medical augmentation, I say we let them – just carefully :)

I guess you’re in the wrong echo chamber in this one.

But I agree, if it can be done relatively safely, and in a controlled environment, then we should do it. Humanity is progressing, through science and technology, and we can do things now that we couldn’t do before. Let’s put that progress on display.

The low hanging fruit is steroids. But other augmentation is a reasonable option too. There was already the famous example of Oscar Pistorius (before he was a murderer) where people were complaining that his artificial legs gave him a physical advantage while running. What happens when people start reinforcing their shins at older ages to remain competitive? Or changing how their joints work. Or whatever.

We as a society have already accepted that people modify their bodies: cosmetically, through pharmaceuticals, and through elective surgeries. But for whatever reason, the Olympics has remained in the “eugenics” era.

Somehow Canada had this figured out for ages. C’mon southern neighbours!

My favourite published campaigns are the most sandboxy. The Lost City had a sanctioned hardbound 5e conversion by Goodman Games. It’s just this underground city with dozens of temples and other locations in immediate proximity to one another, and you can sort of do them in whatever order. But there’s hints and suggestions about where to go next.

Happens in published campaigns just as much, but you can at least use the book as a hammer and keep slapping them with it until they’re back on the rails.

Homebrew is fantastic because you can steer where your players go, provided they go somewhere interesting.

The safety program makes sense if it was designed by a kobold…

So. Starfield then

Play a Dwarf civilization in Anbennar (EU4 mod). It’s epic. Almost this epic: https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU

I’m an optimist, also delusional perhaps.

Ugh. This is going to take centuries, isn’t it…

They also overbuilt infrastructure and entire housing complexes sit empty. So is it both?

Line the apples up next to each other, I guess. Sort of like taking a single slice through multiple carrots on the cutting board at once. Harder to do with apples given their shape, but I’d the knife is big enough, or you’re counting a slice as “single continuous motion” then it is probably valid.

I can’t think of any other physical solution that isn’t a joke, so this is the most probable puzzle solution. In a D&D setting I might require a slight of hand check with a very low DC to pull off the single slicing motion.

These pokemon are getting out of hand!

Christianity is fantasy roleplaying. They’re all trying to convince each other to join the table, and they get mad if you break character. Like they expect everyone to be method actors or something. Smh.

I mean, they keep telling me that their clerics have real spells. But I’ve never been able to wholly suspend disbelief.

I’m waiting for Medvedev to threaten nukes over this clear provocation.

That would be dangerous. The sky might start sinking Russian ships.
