Many microwaves have a timer that can run without microwaving things.

I’m not confident the nurse was wrong!

GURPS has a specific disadvantage that is essentially this.

I don’t think it’s bullying, because bullying involves tormenting them - finding what they react negatively to, and pushing on that. Here, you’re letting them know that there’s something you need them to do before you’re comfortable playing with them. You might think of it as modelling how to protect your own bodily autonomy!

For me, when my kids were going through that, I’d say something like “Ack! Don’t touch me with poo hands! Go wash first, then you can climb on me!” It’d generally get a giggle, then they’d go finish washing up. You’ll want to pay attention to their reaction whatever you do, but if you make it clear they’re still welcome to play, I don’t see how it could be bullying.

…how kid friendly? Haven’t been able to introduce my kids to his stuff yet!

I want a horror movie where some of the heroes are genre-savvy, Practical Guide to Evil style. I picture it starting as a horror, and shifting into a kind of heist storyline

My players ran across some Imperial guardsmen killing off skeletons, only for the orcs accompanying them to protest that they were destroying “registered cultural artifacts!” The orcs didn’t have much, and they would leave their bones to their children to help them eke out a meager existence.

Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.

Some of those solo games can be played with multiple players and no GM, too!

But not the stem!

And if you’ve been letting Steam store your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!

True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!

Well, until the President decides otherwise, anyway.

I suspect most of your audience here isn’t going to be strongly swayed by missing out on oil. Got anything else?

Hah, my first time, I had one of the bandits yell “Sammy!” to another, a name I just grabbed on impulse. Sammy was also one of the PC’s names…

And my toddlers both just turned it back around!

I was more addressing not going for physical anymore - you don’t get an STI unless you’re getting physically intimate!

I’m not so sure this is true - retirement communities are one of the biggest hotbeds of STIs
