I'm playing with AEG tonight. I picked up a book at random. AEG L5R Shadowlands. No one's looked at this book for 20 years. Just me and this rpg. Hmm, what's this game all about... crack the spine, take a look. I want to go back you crinkly hardback...

Then this mess met my eyes. The whole book is in this font. They used this this license for like 20 years? After this mess?

How can you abuse your customers like this? Good grief. Somewhere an angel is crying

Ouch. I read the first paragraph and that was it. To spare your eyes, close it and come back in 20 more years.

Some people just don't get the concept that some fonts were only meant for headers or titles and the like.

I saw a report on NBC News about a man with a compound bow in a crowd of protesters. They described it as a crossbow. When will the mainstream media wake up from their ignorance to finally respect us?!! WHEN?!!!

When they actually hire journalists.

They do stuff now that I was taught in high school journalism class were verboten.

What will people think of next?

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Maid : The Role-Playing Game is a comedic take on a uniquely Japanese cultural icon: The fetishized modern maid. Injecting the concept of Maid with 50ccs of anime and comedy, the players take on the roles of maids, serving the master (played by the GM). Sheets are left unfolded and mantelpieces undusted when giant robots crash through the mansion, ninjas attack and kidnap the young master, and a demonic pit to Hell opens up in the pantry... and all before teatime!

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Is 50 ccs a lot to inject into a concept? How much mass/volume does a concept like that typically have?

I need some science on this before I can evaluate if that's an adequate amount of anime and comedy to inject into something.

48cc is usually the threshold. 50cc and you can print (see BESM). At 75cc or more, you go straight to video (Gotchaman/Battle of the Planets).

Dave, get the barbarian in the corner a drink, quick!

50 cups coffee should only last a week or less. Better increase that.

My friends Dave & Gary made a quantum leap in entertainment. Remember them.

I just spat mine everywhere, so, you know, thanks for that.

It's been a hard week, and I haven't laughed much. I needed that, thank you.

Well, they just canceled my local game con. It was supposed to happen in September. Really bummed! I've gone to this every year for the past, well, I don't even know how many years anymore. This totally sucks!

I get it, but part of me still thinks, geez, it's not till September. That's over two months away. This whole Covid thing could likely be a dim memory by then.

In the absence of a vaccine, I greatly doubt it.

And even if a vaccine were devised today, it would probably take considerably longer than a few months to manufacture, deploy, and administer it en masse in order to be effective.

Interesting. It sounds like Disney is concerned about their stock valuation....or movie reputation....or somebody has an over-active imagination.....

They weren’t that bad. They were better than the prequels. (I admit that’s a very low bar!)
