  • Freefall, as others have said. Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures is still kicking, if struggling. Schlock Mercenary finished a few years ago if you never finished reading it, and Housepets finished up just a short while ago. El Goonish Shive is still going strong and is pretty good. Girl Genius is doing as well as ever. Two Kinds is still alive, and XKCD of course. Out-of-Placers is not from that era but I want to promote it and I'll call that my one freebie for the post.

  • Nepeta is not a dog, she's a cat, 3/10 because they look like good puppies anyway.

  • If you're talking about anything that matters, even if it seems like it's just personal experiences like love or exploring the world, it's political to somebody.

  • Nah. Evil is where the harm your actions do to other people doesn't stop you from doing it. Neutral is where you wouldn't put yourself especially at risk or especially out of your way to help others, but you wouldn't hurt them either, even if it benefited you. Obviously there's a spectrum there, most neutral people would do harm to others if they had a gun to their head. Enjoying the harm you do unto others is sadism, which is separate from alignment. A good or neutral person can be a sadist, but their morality will prevent them from hurting others even if they enjoy it. In short, sadism provides a motive (of which there are many others), alignment provides the restriction or lack thereof.

    Tl;dr if order a village slaughtered to take all their stuff, I don't care how dispassionate or purely self-interested you are, you're evil. If you murder people because you're paid to, and don't much care about the details, you're evil.

  • It is 3:25pm on a Thursday.

  • smh how easy it is to fall into the trap of victim blaming.

  • Every single time this is posted, it is indeed Thursday where I live.

  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica, or just "Madoka Magica", is a famously subversive take on the Magical Girl genre, leading to a lot of copycats to the point that its ideas might no longer be considered subversive.

    Being meguca is suffering.

  • That's 0 milligrams. 0 magnesium would be "0 Mg" (pay attention to capitalisation). Or even "0mg Mg".

  • Farscape is cool. Star Trek is cool. Star Wars is okay too I guess; not hating, I just don't like them as much as the rest of the world seems to.

  • It depends whether you want 00-99 or 1-100. Eclipse Phase, for example, uses 00-99 so that criticals (which are on doubles) are evenly distributed. It compensates by making success only on a roll strictly less than, not less-than-or-equal-to, your target.

  • Alright, you've got me there.

  • In binary the one on the left is meaningless, and therefore the two cannot be compared. In any base in which they can be compared, the one on the left is smaller.

  • If your PC has the ability to turn into a fly, then the game has deliberately given them some amazing stealth and scouting capabilities. I say this is working as intended.

  • It's Thursday, and has been for nearly 12 hours now where I live, and for nearly 14 hours now somewhere in the world. Given the post does not say where it's Wednesday, it is correct, and always has been.

  • But nothing in the meme relies on it, so as a criticism of the meme it falls flat.

  • This is true in 5e DnD. Since this is "RPGMemes", and the meme applies to a lot more RPGs, including editions of DnD other than 5e.
