Don’t fuck with the paws

I also find it notable that Mrs. True is apparently the only human being to whom Everett doesn’t unfailingly tell the unflinching honest truth

Get that potato and bring it back here to me

I recognize that domestic abuse is no laughing matter whichever are the genders involved but this cannot be anything but hilarious to me

Filled with self advocacy, more like

Shelter cats have limited avenues for expressing their disagreements, and it sounds like he’s being as measured and puncture-free in voicing his opinion as he feels like he needs to be

The interfaces are relatively modern too, with VGA and a PS/2 keyboard.

I would like to bring back into fashion the idea of writing it into the statutes which people it were that fucked up

“Everyone can do what they want, just remember, don’t break the law. Jefferson County: Hang back for a second, I want to talk to you a little more. Everyone else, I’ll see you next time.”

Also, export your DBs first, and snapshot the export instead of the raw DB files

This was tested extensively

My aunt did the same thing. She said the cat she adopted never forgot about it, either - just super sweet every day, happy to have a home and a good friend in the world.

A lot of the best communities to be in have a barrier to entry

The community of pilots, the people who work in medicine or on floor X, the people who are proud of what they can accomplish and recognize automatically that the value of the interactions they have are not worthless.

Idk how you bring that to the online space. But it is missing, yes. I like this essay.

She keeps him firmly rooted in humanity and set firmly on the path of justice, instead of simple grumpy violence, by setting him straight whenever he’s doing the second one or just otherwise being an ass.

It brings me joy that Everett’s wife is just as much of an unapologetic clod-thumper as he is

Like I said:

Let your players still have their agency; don’t just declare that it doesn’t work (unless you all wanna agree to house rule that it just doesn’t exist or something).

Like I said, I agree with you about not just cancelling it entirely unless there’s an OOC discussion about making a house rule about it.

You can’t let the players ruin your fun (and, likewise, their own, because it turns a challenging situation into some stupid anticlimax and basically removes curses from the game as a mechanic). Likewise you can’t ruin your players’ fun and just unilaterally say this curse is removal-proof. Fortunately, there are multiple middle ground third options available, that preserve the fun for all parties involved.

You gotta have your game plan for why the curse isn’t solvable

Maybe it’s a disease, not a curse. Maybe it’s an evil magical sword, but it’s not cursed per se, it’s just an asshole. Maybe the magic that operates the McGuffin is set to detonate like a bomb if you make an attempt to disable it. You can feel the balance of energies, such that a slight slip will release an incredible conflagration. Do you really want to continue? You’ll have to do a wisdom check with a pretty high DC. If you’re down for that though, you might be able to remove the curse.

Yeah I know that’s not what it says in the books. This amulet isn’t from the books. Do you want to keep going with remove curse? Or try to find another way?

There are always solutions. Remove Curse is bullshit; IDK what they were thinking with it. But yeah you just gotta plan ahead a little bit. Let your players still have their agency; don’t just declare that it doesn’t work (unless you all wanna agree to house rule that it just doesn’t exist or something). Just plan your way around it. Best case is something like your players looking for some way to buff their wisdom enough so they feel confident taking on the Remove Curse, and then you all get to find out what transpires.

You need to read again the thing that was described, more carefully. Imagine for example that by “a page,” the person means a page called /juicy-content or something.

I know this because i wrote a page that IP bans anything that visits it, and l also put it as a not allowed spot in the robots.txt file.

This is fuckin GENIUS

It was clear to me from his facial expression that he had wound up in a hand to hand fight with the leopard and this was the result. You are right that IDK anything beyond that until someone provided the article yes.

Yeah. The inscription was instructions for how to use this room as a place of safety from them, because you can always see behind you in one or another of the mirrors. Now, when the players encounter them a very short time later, they’ll have nowhere to go where they’re not vulnerable.

I love it. Have fun guys! You may have difficulty in this dungeon starting soon.

Eh. I dislike the “dungeon only works the way I want it to” solution, like the mirrors are unbreakable because that’s not what I wanted you to do with them.

In the other hand, having the players suddenly finding themselves in a boss fight with what was imprisoned in the mirror prison as soon as there’s an existing mirror isn’t facing another intact mirror? And then if they start winning or run away and get back to town, they get a surprise as soon as they go near a mirror? Until they figure out what was the special property that kept the beast in place in the chamber, how it was tricked into it in the first place and how to repeat the process? Fuckin a man. I had planned that you have to have one party member watching in the mirror guiding someone else to find the alcove in the opposite wall that can only be seen through one of the mirrors, but I like this way better; let’s rock.
