Football fans (in any European or South American nation, and probably in the African ones too) are generally an issue. Like, that’s what 40K orks are based on.

Sort of. Policing has different origins in different places. The British system sprang from private detectives, whereas the origins of American policing is the slave patrols.

@Mandemon so, the wording I used comes from a saying that if nine people sit down and have dinner with a Nazi, what you have are ten Nazis. The point of it is that anyone who is aware of corruption but does not act, at least to the point of telling others, is part of the corruption.

So let’s use the old Nazi rule. If there are nine good cops and they work with one bad cop without constantly reporting his actions both internally and to the press, then you have ten bad cops.

So, let’s go with .hack. “The World” is expressly the work of a mad genius. And the real reason behind it is that the VRMMO is actually a program to birth and socialize his AI “daughter”. Further it’s a world where a super lethal computer virus event has caused there to be only one OS in the...

Well, early in his career he was fighting King Shark and was genuinely in danger when underwater, because if he passes out from lack of oxygen, unlike the real Superman, he’s suddenly no longer invulnerable and could just get eaten

To be clear, in most cases, the lawyers are getting along better than the parties, and just trying to wrangle their clients into being reasonable.

Go back to when they actually knew what they were doing and extrapolate the items from 3e. That was the last edition to understand that magic items are an intrinsic part of the game. You should find your party’s first “+1 weapon” at level one in the first adventure you go on.

Awesome. Time for a reread.

Technically Mao didn’t overthrow a government, it had already pretty much collapsed and he moved to replace it. Or at least that’s the excuse I expect they would use.

Did it finish? That’s a rule here
