Ra is missing!

The Egyptian god Ra, seems to have vanished. While some suspect other Egyptian gods involvement...

I suspect a hydra.

Wrath of the... Leftous?

If the righteous are the forces of law, why is law on the left hand of the alignment wheel?

Thus I posit that Azata should be considered the canonical path. Cookies for Everyone!

There should be an ending slide for people you kill or dismiss.

When you kill potential or current party members, I feel their deaths should be impacted on the ending.

I dismissed Ulbrig and killed Regill, Cam and Wenduag. I'd be interested to know what happens as an aftermath. Do the Hellknights take exception to me wiping out their entire presence in the Worldwound? Do they retaliate?

What happens to the ones who followed Wenduag? Surely they were not ALL at that one battle.

Where did Ulbrig go and what did he do after I dismissed him?

Also, I feel there should be more options on how to handle the Worldwound once it is done. I feel like there should be many options based on your actions. Having it absorbed into Mendev, restoring Sarkoris, splitting the land up between the various allies who joined the crusade, saying fuck you to Ulbrig and turning it into a magocracy... I feel like all of these should be options.

In it, they quote Japan as claiming they lose equivalent of $38 Billion every year to digital piracy.

I would like to correct that. If yoou take down every streaming site in the world, most of us would use torrents.

If you took out torrents, we would share on chat forums and direct channels

If you took out torrents and direct channels, we'd share by uploading to the dark web.

And if you somehow managed to take those out? If you shut down every piracy method that existed?

We'd do without. You're not getting anything from us. Ever. And Japan is spending massive amounts of money to get nothing back.

I have been pirating since Napster and I have to say I will never pay a cent for either music, tv or movies. Not now, not ever. And I am quite certain most of you are the same.

Anyone who deals with new groups of kids frequently, this one works well.

"I bet I can jump higher than this building!"

"Nuh uh! Prove it!"

Perform a small hop.

They will invariably boo and say that was lame and that you can't jump higher than the building.

At that point ask "Well how high did the building jump?"

Some will groan, some will furrow their brows looking for a way to defeat your logic, but it always gives me a laugh.

Several years ago I was in a solid group. We took turns GMing different games.

The GM for this game had us as basic scoundrels doing basic scoundrel stuff. Smuggling, shipping, maintaining a ship and reputation etc.

We had 1 person with heavy combat focus, 2 people (one of which was me) specialized in talking and 1 specialized as a pilot. The other talker was also specced for computer and intel gathering. My specialty? I was a cook. And that is not a euphamism. I made food.

We had funds but never enough. So we cut costs as we could. One of those cuts was using fake IDs our intel guy made. We were going into a Hutt run relay station (it was a named place but I forget it) and our guy made fake papers as usual.

Well, he botched the roll. Everything goes fine, we're doing some work on the station... and suddenly I get arrested. Because I was the one who presented the papers.

I told my party I'd handle it, get released after they bail me out and make some... minor preparations. See I had a plan to beat the charges.

So I go in front of the judge. I assume the DM's plan is something like sentence me to jail so the party can perform jobs for the Hutts. But I had... ideas.

They ask basic questions. And I play dumb. Like not "I have no idea" no. I tell them what only an absolute moron would say. No one had any idea I was planning this.

"Where did you get the fake ID?"

"Fake ID? No, I just gave (spacedock guard guy) a credits chip who said he would take care of us. Really nice guy. Even let us through without checking cargo. Had to charge us extra though but real time saver. Said we no need ID." Boy was that poor guard in for a rwally bad day!

But I REALLY had to sell that I was an idiot for this to work. By the end, they charged me 10,000 credits which I had to give to them with 48 hours.

So I went to the bank and asked if they had "credits chip."

Well, they said they had "credit chips..." So I grabbed 10,000 credit chips. My GM thought nothing of it at the time. I go to the pay the fine. I had told him I had the credit chips in a bag. He had assumed 100 denomination. No...

So the following interaction happens:

Hello, I here to pay fine.

Working droid: Ah yes. 10,000 credits yes.

So I start counting.. "1... 2... 3...."

A worker tarts trying to help. It keeps getting messed up and we have to restart. Finally he says "Just pour them out and we will count."

He was holding a tray and that is when the GM realized I was talking 1 credit chips. And he has his worker ask "Why?"

"Well, I go to bank and ask if they have credits chip but they say they have credit chips so I grab 10,000 credit chips. You should fix. Very inconvenient."

All of this is said in a bad Russian accent btw. The GM and my fellow players just busted out laughing. My shenanigans to prove I was an idiot proved quite fruitful.

Shortly after, they made a law named after my character issuing a tax on any group bringing a mentally impaired onto the station.

I had some other hijinks with this character but that one had us laughing for a solid 5 minutes.
