Greetings all. Looking to dip my toes back into something with a story or roleplay bent, or perhaps to launch another NyNES. I've missed this place.

As a techie with a background in safety and complexity, you've just given me a ton of nightmare fuel. Please, no Microsoft updates.

A Man For All Markets - E.O. Thorp This guy solved Blackjack, Roulette (w/ Claude Shannon), and the pre-1990s stock market. Cool stuff.

Ore Monogatari (My Love Story) - great romantic comedy that focuses on the relationship of the unusual couple, not so much the "Will they? Won't they?"

I hope you role-played the Hlur, and I'm curious to know how that turned out. Also needs more DAoH. Hi, how are you?

Constructive interference

Many of the weaker Wabahn, recognizing their inability to compete with their neighbors, depart into the trees with their families. This results in roving pods of 30-40 who travel for the express purpose of avoiding other sentient species. It is a peculiar event that drives these groups deeply...

So what were your favorite space NESes, and why?

The Ikzil continue to develop their methods for raiding, implementing pit traps and other sneaky methods to deceive and misguide those who watch for them. This requires greater communication and coordination between groups, through visual signals and spoken word. Newer cave art shows crude plans...

Life is harsh in the mountains, even for those adapted to their climate. In order to supplement what their home can offer, Ikzil have taken to raiding the Tyumru. The most successful have struck suddenly and retreated swiftly. Some of the particularly effective groups have become so bold as to...

In the mountains west of the Itar Sea, high up in caves and other secret places, paintings have begun to appear on the walls. Their colors and shapes vary as much as the Fumo and Fumori which inhabit the general area, but they all tell the same story: herds which no longer return to the same...

I won't lie, that made me grin :D I can't decide if I want to rip off the ruleset of NiNES, LINES II, or do another one of my weird tournaments. Cadence would obviously be a bit slower, but I have much more experience in seeing projects through to the end than I did years ago. EDIT: Hi Daft...

Man, it's not like this isn't a discussion that has been had by DMs over and over again. NES was always a loose framework. People joined the type of NES they were interested in, and even within them stuck to what they liked best. I joined with NiNES, and spent way more time on the narrative side...

And you! I miss this place.

Agreed. Some variety in reasons to come to this new world wouldn't help either. Some colonists might have more support from their home governments than others, but it could cost them in other ways (more restrictions/orders from home, perhaps?). The way they interact with the old world could be...

Me likey OpenSUSE. Steampunk human/gnome/dwarf colonization of a new world populated by magic-wielding hippie elves.

That inability to live up to that morality perfectly is part of the most fundamental part of what I believe: that of an atonement which bridges the gap and provides us the strength to one day, whether in this life or beyond, achieve that goal. It is the only way to bridge the gap between the...

Well I believe in a morality optimized for maximum happiness for all living beings and endowed by a God far wiser than I am and far more loving. I know it's an old fashioned notion, but it's the way I live my life and it's brought me great happiness. Thought I'd add my two cents.

My beloved Gosica...we could have done such great things together. *sniffle* :(

It didn't make sense in a lot of ways. Hooray for American education.
