if the dice are the be-all-end-all, why have a GM at the table?

Well... If the story is so important why have players at all?

Where 2 RPG players meet there are 3 opinions

If it's a 1st level character is there any harm in simply letting them be killed by a goblin? Depends on what you're looking for in a game but an early death can lead to some nice storytelling

You can roll some dice but it doesn't need to be a skill check (or whatever the naming is in your system of choice). When I don't know what should happen, I may roll a die. If it's high then it should be something good and if low, maybe it will give me inspiration to think about some new lurking danger. But I may discard the result and go with the gut feeling. Whatever, it was an "oracle roll" as I like to call it. Not tied to anyone's statistics.

I like to use a deck of cards as well. In Savage Worlds, it is used to determine a random encounter. Clubs indicate an enemy, hearts a friebd, diamonds some good omen and spades obstacles. I like to draw a card so it inspires me on what should happen next (of course as long as it makes sense with the world)

RPGs depend on mutual respect. If you think your players will metagame you and you need to punish them then it stops being a collaborative roleplaying game.

Yeah, that's what they have been saying for years

Ignoring them. Nothing grinds their gears more.

All of this is one big theatre

I like the E corp logo

It would say Prototype­Filter­Stub­Facade­Bridge­Decorator­Task­Request­Map­Event­Exporter­Info­Model­Request­Iterator

I believe that was intended. It's a way to "hide" the punchline on an image so it's not obvious at the first glimpse

Instructions unclear, started a new war instead

All good changes

Is this Master Chief and The Arbiter?

You are right but also assume people care about that. Lots of time open sourcing your project is a way to collaborate with others, build a portfolio or just for fun. It's not a statement.

I just want to browse the web and see cool websites and discussions

Higher salary, usually

1 and 2 if you like oldschool isometric RPGs and New Vegas if you want them in 3D. 3 and 4 if Bethesda games are your favorite

I believe OpenSUSE uses something called "meta" packages that contain a bunch of other packages. For example if there's games-meta package it will fetch a bunch of games and during update it may try to install them again. Search through installed packages and see if you have any meta ones.

Seriously what's in there? Last ISO I've used with size like this came with 6 different DEs. Ubuntu ships only Gnome IIRC

"Don't be evil" to whom? Shareholders? ;)
