I see this question has been asked a few times, but I don't think we've gotten a good answer. Is there a resource, fan made or otherwise, that adds additional Magic Spells specifically for the Magic System (Not the Sorcery System) in the Basic Role-playing Core book? That is the system where Spells have Variable power levels and each one is its own skill.

The selection currently there is pretty nice, but it has obvious gaps. I would be interested in any resource that adds additional options for that Magic System specifically. I have already picked up the Red Book of Magic for RuneQuest and that's close, but it's not quite what I had in mind.

Has this ever happened to you? You're listening to a commentary YouTuber who's anywhere right of Pol Pot and in the middle of raising some otherwise valid points about fantasy literature, they throw in a drive-by line about "the Church is evil. Oh wow! So original! I definitely haven't heard that one before." In that familiar Reddit-esque sneering tone.

Dude, no it's not. The Church being evil is not "overdone" or have you slept through the last 20 years. The Church is evil will be "overdone" when we no longer have Christian Nationalists in power imposing their will on us. Face it, you can't take criticism, you're butthurt you can't murder your enemies anymore so you're lashing out.

Why is Fantasy literature so overrun with stealth Christian Nationalists? We're literally imagining a world besides the one your God created? You're not welcome or wanted here, go away!

I was suspended for "inauthentic behavior" a month ago. I've been constantly appealing every 2 days. The last two appeals were successful but I was still auto-suspended exactly 2 hours later. The second time happened while I was sleeping, go figure.

I appealed again today and something changed. The "Your account is suspended" pop up no longer has a blue link to file an appeal. When I go manually through the Help Center, it says I am not currently logged in to a suspended X account. Yet my X app still acts as if I am Suspended. I never received an email either way.

Should I feel hopeful, or am I now stuck in limbo?

EDIT: LOL, nope. It's some weird bug with the new X app. Logging in on the Web resumed normal behavior and shows me as still suspended. FML

I'm pretty sure this is AI but I cannot be entirely certain. There's nothing obvious. No people shapeshifting. However the fact this incident wasn't all over social media makes me suspicious.

Last night, I had a nightmare that left me in a cold sweat. In that nightmare, scenes like what happened in Moscow were happening in the city where I live. Iran deployed trans-atlantic drones which were hitting buildings, roads and bridges. There was mass panic, explosions and horror.

I remembered reading up on the Chinese Jiu Tian drone mothership which has a tremendous range and flies at 50,000 feet.

I could use a little reassurance. Crunch the numbers on how very, prohibitively expensive building drones capable of hitting targets 7,300 miles away is.

Please...

WTF. I looked at the shop today, I was planning to order the Shadowdark book when I got home, but when I went to look again, Shopfiy now says "this shop does not exist."

I didn't see any announcements about it? Is there something on the Discord?

EDIT: It appears to be a general Shopify outage.

EDIT2: DownDetector Confirms a Problem with Shopify

Today on "I FUCKING CALLED IT."

First, I find out that CRUMBL cookies is an LDS member owned front organization. Then I find out Bricks and Minifigs is also owned by LDS connected members.

At this point, it's becoming obvious that these business are funding the LDS church. We need a list of businesses owned by LDS members or connected to LDS members so that people harmed by the LDS church can avoid unintentionally giving money to an organization that hurt them.
