Update: I did some more searching and my old university is officially getting rid of alumni email accounts. Question answered.

Probably not his best of all time but Danielson vs Tyler Black vs Omega is on youtube:

Here's Balor and the Bullet Club drunkenly chopping fans:

Welcome to one of my favorite SCP tags, friend.

I realize this is really old but hopefully this will help. You need to click on the avatar in unity, change the animation type to "humanoid" and click apply. Here's a screenshot of what the window looks like:

Yeah, I meant hacker as in "person who fiddles with machines for their own purposes."

Everyone's chasing that Brit Baker in Pittsburgh pop.

AEW could literally just draft a generation of wrestlers by getting Brody Lee Jr., the new Hardy Bros and Mox's kid.

EWJacobs

Absolutely. CoC tends more towards investigation than combat. The Keeper's Rulebook has some great sample adventures to get a feel for that.

EWJacobs

One of the most underrated things about AEW is they know when not to over-complicate things. The people want to see and hear from Punk. AEW just gives that plenty of time to happen, no stupid swerves.

EWJacobs

This is empirically untrue. Washington D.C. implemented a vacancy tax that brought in $9.4 million dollars in 2016. Vancouver likewise has a vacancy tax that brings in millions of dollars each year. Both of these are extremely hot real estate markets.

"Dashboards are poor way to monitor anomalies."

Is a reasonable, solid take. But, of course, they have to blow it way out of proportion. If you're doing high level strategizing for any kind of campaign, you're going to want a lot of data.

EWJacobs

Thanks!

EWJacobs

Tried sending you a discord request. Didn't work for some reason. Feel free to add me though!

EWJacobs

Awesome. Sent a request. We had a session yesterday and are planning on running one today.

EWJacobs

Awesome, I'm Distortion#7981

I really like Into the Odd / Electronic Bastionland. It boils down D&D to it's bare essentials and then gets out of the way. The lack of a class or skill system makes it easy to port to whatever you'd like.

EWJacobs

I think "fun over fairness" is kind of implied in "rules of over rulings." More rules mean more rules litigation, which means less time roleplaying. "Rulings become rules" is fine, but I feel like OSR is usually trying to do something different.

EWJacobs

This is a good point. I think this is an effect of being rules light. It's a lot easier to take something from a complex rule-set and strip it down to fit in a simple one, a lot harder the other way around. Attack bonus progression wouldn't be a problem in Mazerats, because attack bonuses are so rare in that game. Every rule that's added to the game takes it further away from inter-compatibility.

EWJacobs

Kind of off topic, but you might like CastleFalkenstein. There's a d20 version.

EWJacobs

1/2 - Emphasize is group fiat not party fiat. If the group universally doesn't like the GM's decision, then the GM should yield. I imagine there are already rules you throw or ignore because the group does like them.

3- It's the difference between a Hollywood blockbuster and an indie movie. It's not necessarily better but it opens up a lot of possibilities that you'll never seen in big productions. There are genres like horror or rougelikes that little guys just do better.

4- Other people have covered this but emphasize it's just an adaption of older D&D rules. If they're theory minded you can explain how excess rules bog down the game and limit possibilities.

I moved to the Sinclair LA last week and it's pretty rough. There's lost of shady people wandering around with their faces mostly covered, one hand in their jacket pocket, all hours of the day. Seemed like one of them one was going to try to mug me the other day.

EWJacobs

Really hope we get to see MJF vs Jericho, if only for the banter.

EWJacobs

The US immigration system is highly biased towards prestigious workers like doctors, lawyers and programmers. So if illegal immigrants had those jobs, they wouldn't be illegal in the first place.

EWJacobs

I interpreted it as Tywin having some kind of leverage over Robert. Maybe Robert needed to pay off some debts, and Tywin agreed to do it in exchange for Jamie being appointed warden. He doesn't admit this to Ned for the same reason he doesn't admit all his other money problems to Ned: it's embarrassing.
