“Jon Connington, Young Griff, Lady Stoneheart, Wyman Manderly, Victarion Greyjoy, Jeyne Poole, Harrold Hardyng, and Arianne Martell died on the way to their home planet.”

I think one shot play is probably more common for the modern real-world experience. So it’s no more of a commitment than the average night at someone’s house playing board games.

I typically play one shot games for about three hours at a time once every six weeks or so. It’s not a huge commitment.

You might be cool with doing what we call one-shots like at conventions where your odds of getting a better GM and just gaming for a few hours would be perfect.

Honestly, you think her waking up and looking in the mirror everyday would produce the same response. It’s nice to be recognized, but damn, she is fine as hell, rich as hell, and successful as hell. I’d cry like that if I was just ONE of those things.

He’s always been the best and worst thing about any of his projects. It’s just the balance of how much he was one vs the other has shifted over time. And now resides squarely in the worst category.

I can’t get past the spelling. Surely it should be “pentavirate”?

Don’t feed birds (or ducks or geese or anything else with feathers!) bread! It’s bad for them. It’s junk food: filling but not nutritious. When we’re not risking spreading a highly contagious disease, it’s okay to feed them bird food, not people food.

I can’t believe a guy from Michigan would say something like this.

I’m a Brit and was highly sceptical about a US version of Ghosts, but I am enjoying it a lot. It took the best of the British show - the variety of great characters and that silly and funny premise and gave it a US twist, with the ghosts being American archetypes just like the U.K. ones. The style of humour is…

Daniel Abraham would be my guess. He has worked with Martin and he’s coauthor of The Expanse which took some notes from Song of Ice and Fire.

I’m really happy to see Encanto getting this sort of recognition, since thanks to the pandemic and Disney’s weird release strategy, it’s hard to figure out how traditionally “successful” this film was. It did pretty good box office for a pandemic-era movie that was only in theaters for like two weeks, but that’s a lot…

My younger brother who, was unvaccinated, died from Covid five months ago at the age of 43. My older brother, who is a diabetic with kidney disease, got Covid a couple of weeks ago and was hospitalized. Thanks to him being vaccinated, he was released from the hospital yesterday.
