I'm running a Paranoia RPG at a con and I am supposed to include a link to where players can find more information about Paranoia. Obviously, giving out information is not in the spirit of Paranoia. Can anyone recommend me something to link to instead?
I like to cook and while I usually shop at Walmart and Sam's Club for my ingredients. But every once in awhile, I get the urge to splurge. In the past, I bought olive oil from a shop dedicated specifically to that. I've also gotten handmade noodles from a small vendor. Neither of these shops are in Fort Wayne.
Does anyone know any small shops that sell artisan ingredients for high-quality meals? Nothing mass-produced?
I'm adding hexcrawl mechanics to my game and so I'm looking for examples to draw inspiration from. I'm more interested in what kinds of things I need to include in my game rather than how, specifically to do them. So I don't care if the rules work well or not. But I do care if they attempted to do the important things. Price is a concern; I don't want to shell out $40 for a game I'm never going to play.
Also, any advice anyone has on what makes a good hexcrawl would be appreciated.
I'm going to be on South Side today and I want my kids to see a fireworks show. Does anyone know a good neighborhood or spot to watch with my family?
(I know this subreddit is for memes but my post seemed a bit too goofy for the r/Warhammer40k, and so I thought I'd put it here.)
I have come to a deeply disturbing realization, and the only way to deal with my pain is to inflict it on you. And so here it is: the orks are slutty. Really, really slutty.
Now, I know what some of you may be thinking. How can this be? They reproduce asexually, by dying. And that's exactly my point. All beings that reproduce have a pleasure sensation attached to reproductive instincts. And orks are no exception. They reproduce by dying and so they are instinctively drawn to activities that result in that. In fact, they're entirely driven by that instinct.
For the orks, combat armor is lingerie and death threats are flirting. Even the most sex-obsessed Slaanesh cultist gets orgasmed out at some point. But orks never get release until they die. Meaning they're edging, constantly. Every living ork is constantly focused on how to go about risky activities that are a lot of fun but might get them pregnant. But they can only achieve orkasm exactly once in their life. (At the end, specifically.)
And how do the orks go about this? Do they sit down in nice, fertile soil and rub one out (and by "one", I mean themselves). Do they find a partner, establish a supportive, loving relationship, and then one bashes the other over the head with a hammer? Do they at least wait until the third duel to start using lethal force?
No. Orks are sluts. And so they prefer massive orgies, with as many participants as possible, and with any alien species they come across. And while there are a few extended romances, such as between Yarrick and Ghazghkull, these are the exception rather than the rule. Usually, orks just start banging each other right away. (Or, if not banging, then whatever sound their shootas make).
Anyway, that's my thoughts on the subject.
I keep seeing ads for services like Delete Me that offer to politely request that data brokers remove your personal information. And that's a nice thought. But it seems like bringing a squirt gun to a house fire. It's nearly impossible to remove information from the internet, no matter how strongly-worded your generic e-mail is.
My idea was that instead of trying to remove people's information, such a company should try to add to it. Add lies, specifically. Fake contact info, fake purchase histories, fake cookies, and so on. The more contradictory data that's out there, the less useful the data is.
Now, I'm no expert, and I know how dumb it looks when an outsider comes in and proclaims an obvious fix. At the same time, I can't imagine Delete Me actually working. So I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable could tell me if I'm missing something.
I had a house fire and it's been 8 months and I found out yesterday that I have a separate property adjuster from my house adjuster, and he's done virtually nothing in the last 8 months. I'm supposed to be moving back into my house in 3 weeks and he refuses to tell me what the process looks like to get reimbursed for contents and what I need to be doing. So I have to research that myself.
Is anyone familiar with the process? Does anyone know what steps I can expect to go through? I could really use any help anyone can offer.
I seem to remember older Shadowrun versions had hovercars. Did they get rid of that in the newer versions or is that still a thing in modern manuals? Do they exist at your table?
Edit: To clarify, I don't mean like a real-world hovercraft. I mean like a landspeeder out of Star Wars type of deal. VTOL flying car.
(I know I can do whatever I want at my own table if I'm the GM; I just thought I'd see what's normal for people.)
