@YetiMoose @MightyKeef Gotcha, so you just meant he’s nonpartisan, not apolitical. 👍

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@YetiMoose @MightyKeef Superman has been written being pretty political since the early days. His character is a moral paragon, and thus necessarily is going to be standing up for things that some people won’t agree with. Superman challenges the status quo for the betterment of Humanity. 2/2.

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@YetiMoose @MightyKeef That’s just frankly not true. Superman, as with most comics (hell, most art) is political. This poster is from 1949, a mere 15 years after his creation. “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” is from a 40s radio serial made to encourage US troops fighting in WW2. 1/

@lesboytism @KinseeG_ Buc-ee’s bathrooms are like this, but in a more normal color scheme. They even have a little light over the door to let you know if it’s occupied or not, and there’s hand sanitizer dispensers in each stall.

@cwebbonline @BlackKnight10k Another theory I’ve seen was that there’s possibly a lot of the Andrew Tate/joe Rogen type that maybe just voted for Trump because it’s “alpha” but didn’t have R loyalty down ballot and maybe left the rest blank.
It will be interesting to see some more analysis when it’s counted

@jf_saltarin @jorie_graham reading at a roughly middle school reading level. Granted the US percentages are pretty consistent with international averages for PIAAC scores.

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@jf_saltarin @jorie_graham I mean, yeah a lot of nuance gets lost in any social media post. And PIAAC doesn’t map 1:1 to US grade level (because it’s an international measure of adult literacy) but level 2 is ~roughly 3rd-8th grade reading level~. So that’s still a decent chunk of the US population 1/

@Missing802 @YourAnonCentral I doubt the stuff that was done will be able to be undone legally: people were calling in bomb threats to D-centric polling places in swing states at high traffic times (supposedly Russian agents). And a lot of the people that had to leave, didn’t come back to vote…

@WTarbiat @DrFrancesRyan Hell, even the HBO model of 10 episode seasons (with longer episodes) is better than what we’re getting now.

@benelou If it truly wasn’t him, he’d be filing lawsuits for defamation and demanding the articles be retracted. But he’s not. He’s just trying to lie and say it isn’t him.

@BDaveWalters This is my first new edition of DnD and the thing that keeps getting me tripped up is how I already have the old version of how all this works ingrained in my memory. And now’s it’s the same names for stuff will them doing very different things. And I can’t keep it straight.

@CatieOsaurus Kenneth Branagh as Dickens, Mark Hamill as King Herod, Forest Whitaker as Peter, and Pierce Brosnan as Pilate.

@Bubblebathgirl @KamalaHarris Pointing out that “very fine people” only applies to the crowd gathered to protest and keep monuments celebrating slavery and not the “neo-nazis” and “white nationalists” (even though that Venn Diagrams has significant overlap…) isn’t the own you think it is.

@Empty_jr -“You all meet in a jail cell.” Gives time players to delve into what crime they each committed before the *action* starts.
-runaway stage coach that’s under attack
-getting “arrested” and pressured into service for someone that cannot send their own agents to act publicly

@MrShickadance_ Making a whole character sheet for an NPC is so much work. I usually start from an existing stat block (usually Kobold Press or MCDM) and modify it to suit my needs.

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@FNDungeonMom @thecritshow does something in a similar vein, where every parallel world they explore is a new game system and they have to remake their characters in that new world.

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@jdragsky -a few prewritten adventrues
-Some more random quest/adventure generation tools and tables
-more Playbooks
-official character sheets/resources
-more fun world building resources

[Nathan Champlin (self parody) @CharlieChamplin]

@FNDungeonMom Absolutely no worries. I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask haha. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
