I'm a big fan of "you all wake up in loincloths sitting in a wagon, hands bound" and as long as someone at the table can roll higher than a 1, they can break free.
Or something attacks them while they're all in a tavern
Basically I'm a fan of "you could ignore having your shit kicked in, but will you?" since so many players would stop at nothing.
Fallout NV had the right idea. "Where's that little fucker who shot me in the head?!"
It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)
My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.
I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.
10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

"trying to grab to take a gun from a security guard"
Okay so obviously almost nowhere else is as insane as the US when it comes to firearms and therefore most people would have much better discipline when handling them and discharging or even pulling one, but the one thing I am sure of almsoy anywhere in the world is that you should NEVER try to grab someone else's gun from them unless you're prepared to get shot with it.
Dudes lucky he didn't do that in Texas or Florida.
I genuinely think he's got that "someone told me I'm not allowed to do something so now it's my only thought and I will do it no matter what" mentality that 6 year Olds have.
Someone told him he's not allowed to use nuclear weapons, so he wants nothing more than to have an excuse.
I'd happily climb any of the 1000ft "peaks" around me over telling everyone how much money I spent to be here while slowly moving in line up to the top of what is now basically a trash dump.
that feed us false hope
Boy do we have different bubbles....
Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don't think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
From my understanding, he has solar/wind powered well pumps, and a septic system he can "shovel out" himself. He had a covered box for deliveries next to his mailbox, and anything that needs to be dropped close to the house can drive straight in, I assume he plans those out ahead of time.
I just checked street view maps and since the last time I was over there he actually has a driveway now! With a gate across it.
Last time I spoke to him regularly enough that house questions wouldnt be weird, he was already working on solar power and already had a "battery wall" from 18650 cells cobbled together from surplus and garage sale battery packs. Had a whole table set up with testing and monitoring stuff for it. Apparently when the power went out, he could keep his fridge and freezer going for "almost a week"
I'm sure by now he's gotten some of the trees cleared so he can have a garden, as that was also on the list of things he wanted to do to the place.
So he's probably living as off grid as possible by now, while still using satellite or cellular internet.
It would be weird for me to just out of the blue start talking to him to ask more about it, we were never really "friends" friends, more "he's friends with my friend so by extension we hang out" which makes it weirder. Not sure why, we just didn't seem to interact outside of hangouts and group chats. Although if I'm being honest it's probably because his family is rich so any time he went on about the stuff he's "built" and "earned" it just rubbed me the wrong way.
But It's a nice setup for sure.
Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.
I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!
I started running games for my wife and her niblings, and the oldest boy is getting into that "I'm such a rebel" phase where they think they're bad ass for taking slightly longer to do a chore than needed and say "no" the first time you ask them to do something.
He thought it was hilarious to have a character that refused to join the rest of the group, so I said "okay, you can stay at the inn if you want" and then proceeded to intentionally ignore anything he was saying or doing, leaving him out of rolls, and never addressing him.
He's 12 and started literally crying to his mother about how we're all being mean to him. Apparently "he had the opportunity to participate and chose not to" wasn't a good enough response to his mother. I stand by my choice. Although my wife managed to convince me to let him "rejoin" at the next town/session.
He doesn't pull that shit anymore though, when he's playing he's playing or he gets shut out again.
Genuine question to anyone reading: does that make me a bad DM? If so, suggestions on how to handle it?
