Somehow I'm not concerned about a judge (who may or may not have raped someone in college) getting shot by a frenzied supporter of the cheesecake superfan. I am concerned about the militarization of state forces, like ICE recently knocking on doors in full tacticool gear, because that is actually happening now.

Assuming 5e is similar to other instances of D&D, initiate will be a roll based on the Dexterity attribute. I assume Dex is still good for AC and ranged attacks so I don't think that's going to be a problem.

As someone who is fairly healthy, I haven't personally had any problems with my insurance (aside from stuff that shady mentioned) but my mom had to fight constantly for cancer treatment reccomended by the oncologists and a friend of mine has to jump through insane hoops (at least) monthly just to get his prescriptions. While the cost of an accident is ****ing terrifying for me, I'm also dreading having to do the equivalent of another full time job just to get the care I or my family may need and am already ****ing paid for.

That's a very specific fetish.

I'm more concerned with the existing authoritarianism in the US than I am with the possibility of expanded public health care or 15 buck minimum wage or whatever morphing into Red Terror 2.0. Ironically Bernie would probably be the best on this, but I guess unconstitutional stop and frisk or dementia addled buffoonery is more palatable than prison reform or cutting down on NSA and ICE to certain folks.

Someone's never played Divorce Court: Enchanced Edition with the Homewrecker dlc.

For a second there I thought you caod cenobites were a boogeyman and I'm now disappointed.

I think money sped up because a particular audience loves romance content and because they picked one of the most lackluster options for a new race. Anywho I predict it will not hit $2mil but gets at least one stretchgoal beyond spirit whisperer half-elf gf.

The Forgotten Realms should be torched tbh. Ravenloft, Starjammer, or Darksun would make objectively better settings.

It works very well if you consider its purpose to be collecting premiums rather than providing adequate healthcare to the insured. I remember talking to a guy who worked at an insurance company and after a few drinks outright said what we all know or suspect, that they don't make money by paying claims.

Eh, being able to stop time and mind control people who are one offhand comment from leaving the party isn't any more believable to me than everybody pausing (except for reactions) while a skinny nerd waves his hands around to hit them with a ball of fire. I prefer turn-based because I prefer slower paced combat and dislike the micro in late game rtwp games that inevitably gets ****ed up by any ai.

Didn't the original Baldur's Gate only have 8 classes? Finally something in the tradition of BG! So we've got 8 classes, of which Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Warlock, and Wizard are in. If 8 is the final number I think Paladin, Druid, and Ranger fill out the rest of the line up while Barbarian, Bard, and Sorcerer are left out.

I'm wondering just how bad it will go if Sanders gets a plurality of votes but the candidacy is given to someone else. I get the feeling a lot of Sanders fans are Vote Blue No Matter Who types this time around but between the demoralization of such folks and the effects of the DNC showing its whole ass I think a lot of the people will stay home and we'll see low turnout. The Dems seem to be banking on VBNMW sentiment about Trump and a calculated risk the Orange Man will be better for their donors their future electoral politics than if Bernie gets elected but given how absolutely wrong the galaxy brain centrists have been this past decade has me thinking something is going to go spectacularly wrong for them.

I think Sagani is ok, she clearly differs from the typical dwarf archetype but not in such a way it feels like an inversion. Given BG3 is happening in the Forgotten Realms it's a safe bet dwarves are gonna be alcoholic scots but maybe we'll get lucky and get a female dwarf companion/pc who just wants put on comedic plays.

South Carolina is notable because it's the first primary Biden has won in 3 decades of running for president.

He's got a note on him that he talks to you about and interacts with some dwarf prisoners.

You're mistaken. Beast's quest and plot is from the island prison until you get to Arx (the endgame). From what we've seen there's a Githyanki, two Humans, a Half-Elf, and an Elf preset so unless they're going to reveal more the anti-Dwarf cabal has struck again.

I haven't played 5e, but if it's like DOS I hope we get to make use of the many non-combat spells and abilities found in other pnp games in exploration. To my knowledge that's not something to have ever been implemented well in a pnp derivative videogame.

Pillars 3 Stardust Crusaders

The deaths of real people is nothing compared to cgi body horror and githyanki riding dragons.

I hope we get to be in the city of Baldur's Gate for more than the last quarter of the game.

It can't, but that's irrelevant. The implementation is to imitate the pen and paper ruleset, not a jrpg (which are not largely turn-based anymore) or PoE (whose turn-based is pretty much a copy of what Pathfinder plays like in pen and paper).

Yeah, rather than being post-truth it seems we're in a multiple-truth world where any random data set can be used to argue whatever the **** you want. I guess truth, along with everything else, really did end up being a spook. If we're going by how states have historically functioned, the state's job is to pursue it's own interests and those of a select group, call them the elite or ruling class or whatever suits your fancy. Anything beyond that is incidental to this function, and will change to meet such requirements.

I was drinking last night and ended up having a conversation with a guy about how technically true facts ended up making how nothing had really changed. It was either profound or my drunk memory is rose tinted.
