@BretDevereaux Julius Caesar gets some points as a writer, as well, even if he is known primarily as a mass murderer of Gauls

@bdquinn Property taxes are like the worst way to do this as well, as it benefits people with enough wealth to own property and (unless the Feds are replacing it) would be really hard on aging communities trying to provide services (like hospitals, for example)

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@bdquinn Yeah. I mean I hope to one day take advantage of senior benefits, but with an eight year old I can definitely see the cracks in the cradle part.

@bdquinn I especially want to understand how big is a legion in the Star Wars universe because that seemed like a very small number of troops to guard such an essential resource

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@grailcountry The very best of news

@mdaviswilson @Gingerblast This. Brilliant book but not necessarily organized from most to least important

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

This was a really interesting video, for those who do RPG stuff

@BretDevereaux This looks quite bad. I am no expert, but I would be surprised if that was going to fly anytime soon.

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@Gingerblast Yeah, that is enough to create hardship in most people and is lot to give to a stranger unless there were mitigating circumstances (e.g., donations to help with a cancer surgery)

@TheBasicExpert1 @NotJonMollison I encourage reading the AD&D DMG. I learn something interesting every time I read it. This quote is on page 230 and is a nice high Gygaxian diatribe about interpretation

@Gingerblast It feels like this is where Gary would have suggested that the DM is free to adjudicate circumstances and assign odds.

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@SandyofCthulhu I am sorry

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@SandyofCthulhu I like that analysis for larger units, but if the knights are smart they will easily encircle the legionnaires and pick at weaknesses. Make it 500 versus 500 (large enough for anti-cavalry formations or given them anchoring terrain and it is likely a bit different

@archon May the New Year bring only blessings

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@archon Maybe you’ll be good at this new avocation but my own tastes run to your ACKS game

[Joseph Delaney @Canadian_JACD]

@SandyofCthulhu Ah, I seem to be one of the only people in the OSR crowd who actually likes elves as PCs. I trace it back to Elrond in the Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. I know, I date myself by referring to an era long ago that few now remember
