I caught her cheating off my test in a gen-ed health class in my freshman year of college. I am normally a pretty strict rule follower, but this class sucked so much that I didn't care. After that, we started talking a bit after each class.

The next semester, we worked together on the groundskeeping crew for the school, and she got to see me do a classic Looney Tunes self-injury when I threw something heavy down on one end of a shovel lying next to me. The wooden end flew up, knocking my glasses clear off and giving me a black eye, and she rushed over to make sure I was okay.

We've been married for 5 years now!

That is unfortunately less of a social phenomenon and more of a logical result of our combination two-party/first past the post system. After years of having to strategically vote against the worst option instead of for the best, we are only left with a "lesser of two evils" decision.

The temple being a target could set up a nice religious conflict. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks, I think you're right not making them obvious, as it will give me more flexibility to adjust plans in addition to keeping it mysterious for the players

Yes, he has turned against his kingdom. I think he will be saying something like "this isnt how it was supposed to go! I only worked with you for ________ reasons!", so he will still be somewhat loyal to the kingdom. He will have the first plot hook for them to follow, and his collaborators will be out in the world for the party to either actively chase down or come across more coincidentally.

Lackeys aren't a bad idea! It would give me some flexibility and mystery with whom they are serving

Sorry for the late replies! Thanksgiving week has been busy! Thank you for responses though!

This is awesome!

 

Hello!

I need some insight about who to include in a rogues-gallery-type meeting of villains who my new group will overhear coordinating the downfall of a small kingdom. They are one session into surviving an attack on the capital, but I haven't decided who they will overhear in a secret meeting beneath the castle. It will be the royal court magician having a conversation with projected images of a group of villains who all coordinated to bring about the attack. Any ideas of characters to include in this group? I'm thinking about Asmodeus, a neighboring king/queen (specific recommendations welcome), maybe a modified Nilbog, and a God of vengeance or something. These ideas are all pretty loose, so recommendations welcome!

I'm surprised to not see any love for The Witness. I'm not usually a puzzle guy, but the way they teach you how to play without dialog is incredible and the environment is gorgeous.

It's both a piece of art and a thoroughly enjoyable piece of playable entertainment.

To some extent a bachelors degree in the US

Pose is a great series that really helped me get over the residual homophobia and transphobia from my upbringing. It's a great show that helped me rethink my masculinity and how I love and support people around me. 10/10 recommend if you want to be rewarded for trying to keep an open mind
