A friend ran a sequel to Cabin in the Woods as a Powered by the Apocalypse game. The premise being that the titan at the end of the movie was not the entity that needed to be appeased, but was just another of the monsters. The resulting cave in killed the Jester, thus fulfilling the sacrifice, but the Virgin was still alive. We played a mercenary team sent in to rescue the Virgin and pull her out, while dealing with all the other monsters that were still in the complex. Great game. Overall the mission was a success, but I was killed by Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain.

How many Smoots is that?

That was ChatGPT. I couldn’t write a limerick.

Yes, you may.

In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.

Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.

In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.

Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.

Some good ideas here, but if I did this with my group, I’d have to deal with them volunteering for the process.

That looks like an IBM PC. I recognize it from my childhood years when the father of a friend (who worked for IBM) had one in the early 80’s. That dude is probably as nerdy as he looks. So not a dumb terminal, it’s one of the first home computers.

Doing the same, except I’m doing it with a bunch of friends and we’re making a gaming convention out of it at a ski resort. EclipseCon 2024 running from Apr 6 to Apr 9. I’ve been planning this since 2020, when I first heard the eclipse was going to pass close by.

A moose once bit my sister…

I hate that this was the first thing I thought of. :)

Came here to say this. Nothing else even comes close. And if you want to stay away from reddit, Ralts has self-published it as Behold: Humanity! You can get in for Kindle or in dead tree form on Amazon.

Edit: Apologies Bob, I didn’t see your link was for Royal Road instead of reddit.

I never get tired of this guy.

The city was named after the Buffalo River. The origin of the river’s name is uncertain, but it is most likely named after the animal.

Buffalo wings are named for Buffalo, NY, where they were invented.

It’s obviously a Honey Heist that almost went wrong.

Does an attacker need to be logged in to take advantage of the exploit? Will a whitelist keep my server safe?

I’m pretty sure I still have that on a 3.5" floppy somewhere. I also have a 3.5" drive that could read it, but I have nothing I could plug it into.

Stories like these are often about protecting the status quo, or at least protecting it from change involving harm and destruction. Refugees generally want to see the status quo changed because things suck for them. The more radical among the refugees will not be above using a bit of harm and destruction to get what they want. The ends justify the means and all that. I find it better to use the term “antagonist”. They are people that the protagonists have conflict with, but they aren’t necessarily bad people.
