Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

This is why reddit should delete all those MRA and PLA subreddits. They claim it "keeps them contained", but when they deleted "Fat People Hate" all those guys just left the site and the culture became better. It seems the opposite, really.

To clarify my point, having places where PLAs and MRAs can peddle their bullshit in seclusion really allows people to become exponentially shitter.

[L]et’s use subreddit algebra to dissect r/The_Donald into its constituent parts. What happens when you filter out commenters’ general interest in politics? To figure that out, we can subtract r/politics from r/The_Donald. The result most closely matches r/fatpeoplehate, a now-banned subreddit that was dedicated to ridiculing and bullying overweight people.

Sure, to finish it it just needs to be marked as an at-will utility, given an action type (presumably Immediate Reaction), and to keep it from being class dependent, choose a skill to make it a Skill Power of. Diplomacy 2, probably.

You fly on airplanes and don't want to fly on the Wright Flyer? The Wright Flyer is the is the father to all aircraft. If it wasn't for the Wright Brothers and H.G. Wells airplanes would have been created much later than 1903 and the current popularity of aeronautics probably wouldn't be around until a decade or two from now. Of course, this is coming from someone who's a second generation flyer, who learned about flying from single-engine propeller planes. I don't care much for jets and I haven't flown on the most recent models. I enjoy blimps, though. I've also dabbled with some gliders and rotary wing aircraft.

Sorry for the wall of text.

On a more serious note, I'm wrapping up an Eclipse Phase campaign in the next couple of weeks, and one of my players wants to try to run a one shot. It'll be her first time running anything and I'm looking for suggestions for a rules light game that's good for a one shot. Apocalypse World might be the easiest due to the fact she's played that before, but something with a little more pre-written material may be preferable.

I don't know which is sadder; the fact that he felt the need to contact a you to let know know that you should like D&D, or that he's a second generation gamer who's barely moved past Pathfinder.

At least he didn't try to quiz you on your RPG knowledge to try and prove you're not really a gamer.

I was checking out the events, and I'm particularly interested in the Real Ghostbusters d6 thing they got. They also got a demo of Ryuutama, which I've always wanted to play, but it's at 6, and I should probably be back home by then.

Or, using AW and then developing her own setting from scratch (with the usual player input) might be perfect - no reading to do and nobody else is an expert on the setting.
