It’s weird that someone’d have “I vote for Democrats” as a bumper sticker. It’s like “I don’t gargle broken glass” or “I don’t intentionally slam my fingers in the car door (and pay extravagantly for it).”

bleah, it's another "fall over and could sleep through the battle of Kursk next door/2-3 hours later I'm wide awake" night

@ziphi Maybe do the Major Arcana only or just the Major Arcana you think are cool looking? People love that sort of thing.

@ziphi You got me beat. Neither the Dvorak nor Khachaturian cello concerti are solo.

YOU CRAM YOUR CULTURE DOWN MY THROAT
SAY I'M INFERIOR WHEN YOU FIND THAT I CHOKE
YOU FILL ME UP WITH A FALSE SENSE OF HISTORY
AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY I HAVE NO IDENTITY?

"So you're him, huh? The avenger, the killer of killers. Nice outfit! Not so sure about the face though."

The thing where Sir Paul writes a song about a girl because he’s Sir Paul so of course it is, but I’m some variety of gray ace and associate The Beatles with Ann Arbor, so consequently for me the song’s about A^2, and I’m profoundly sad as a result. At least until the next Beatles song, etc.

coyote sing along hour 

DEAD I am the sky
watching angels die
as they slowly turn
conquering the worm
(love shack baby)
Huggin' and a-kissin'
dancin' and a lovin'
wearing next to nothin'
cause it's hot as an oven
the whole shack shimmies
the whole shack shimmies
the whole shack shimmy shimmy shimmy shimmies
DIG through the ditches and BURN through the witches
I SLAM in the back of my DRAGULA

Fuck yeah I got bonito flakes AND fried garlic!

@Yolfen You got me thinking about a rules/perception thing with dice though - not type, but number. I think in contrast to AD&D, rolling multiple dice is way more emotionally satisfying - like even if it actually didn't translate to a higher chance of success, it LOOKED more like you could succeed and you had a really physical handle on how badass your character was.

@Yolfen Thanks! I definitely got the feeling that AD&D was/was regarded as kids table stuff, so I wanted to check if that was a universal thing.

It definitely read to me that Shadowrun and White Wolf had the Dark Future aesthetic we thought was cool (which is weird considering Dark Sun, Ravenloft, some aspects of Planescape) - I definitely think some of it was "AD&D is your first game so you're going to want to progress." Now I wonder if some of it was TSR trying to be family-friendly/humorous.

re last boost;

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Dj turns out the illustration is for a story which is really a weird key noh drama.
