I am very, very sad though that the show just couldn't let Alicia have a friend.

Actually, I find that pretty believable. I would sob if even a kinda 'meh' acquaintance grenade jumped a notorious drug lord that was vaguely threatening a lot of my world.

It is alphabetically accurate.

LA&L Security Protocols Section III, Sub-Heading B: "Jesus, God, Not the Monster" Protocols

I haven't done any of the Romans yet, of the civilized factions the Persians were super great. Their faction bonuses really made for a cool strategic experience and their army was a goldlilocks' style 'just right' but in an interesting and challenging rather than tepid way.

I heard about a game called Lazer Turtles, or some such, that's supposed to be very good for that age group. I'm looking forward to it.

Attila is pretty great! The Celtic expansion is a good get, all of the factions in any of the expansions are put together in a neat way on the strategic level, but the Celtic expansion also has a different 'narrative' than the other cultures and a pretty neat and different roster. The viking expansion is cool for…

My temptation to handle a smaller than assumed party would be to throw in a low complexity NPC with a required utility schtick.

I found E Space to be way less personality-driven than Legend, as well.

Sensation Comics, a Teen Titans Go collection, and so. many. free. comics. day. comics.

Color me intrigued.

I thought we were an anarcho-parodist collective?

Cartoon Network has been and continues to be my only consistent regret about not having cable. I would never have predicted that for my adult life, and yet here I am.

Well, you're here - I'm gonna be surprised if she was wrong on those last points.

Looks around confusedly for Orson Welles in an opera box.
