Right now in Chile they are building the ELT which will have a reflector 39m wide and will be the most powerful telescope of all time. You could put the James Webb telescope inside the ELT and you STILL wouldnt be able to detect my interest in your question"

"The word "orange" was only used to refer to the House of Orange in the Netherlands until the fruit made it to American and we adopted the word for the fruit's color. Before then things that we would now call "orange" were called either "red" or "dark yellow" depending on the shade. This is why the obviously orange British Robin is named "redbreast". No word for the color. American robins are a darker shade of orange but still not necessarily red. British ones are cuter. Ours are pretty good though"

"It's an issue for one of the core Call of Cthulhu game skills - Library Use. On the other hand it's true that something like 85-90% of all material published since 1970 is NOT on the internet and I'm sure it's much worse for earlier publications so who knows. Plus I suppose we can substitute Computer Use"

"So in Call of Cthulhu instead I focused on solving a mystery. A lot of Lovecraft's tales are written as mysteries including The Call of Cthulhu itself. So the players have to puzzle out what's going on and in the meantime the villains are gaining momentum giving the players a feeling of urgency. I figured that mysteries are popular and the research and exploration and investigation could take the place of combat as the "fun" part of the game. And it seems to have worked. And it makes Call of Cthulhu rather contrarian. You see if you want the compelling fight - level up - fight cycle you can"

"I crusade against XP so often. Here is why I don't like XP: 1) it pops players out of the fantasy realm and into the game's statistics and rules. 2) it deforms play by making players value aspects of the game that in reality they might not. Example: a D&D player won't heroically refuse a reward because then he'll lose XP unless he can convince the DM it's worth the same. 3) it leads to additional arguments and discussions between the players and players & DMs"

"This image of an NPC in Keep on the Borderlands is terrible and here is why. It drops you right out of the fantasy-medieval milieu. The first owner-propelled wheelchairs werent till the late 1800s. They are as anachronistic as Gatling guns steamships & locomotives. None of which I would allow in a medieval game. If you must have a disabled person (despite the Regeneration spell) at least have them be disabled in a medieval-friendly way - bedridden set on a platform or in a big comfy chair.

"Also don't take a katana. The main advantage is it's sharp and easy to get (America's lousy with them). But they have a short reach for their length. A typical XXX lb katana has an overall length of about XX inches compared to a XXX lb European longsword overall XX inches. So you can either get a lighter European sword for the same length or a longer one. The sharpness is indeed useful as you can lop off limbs & heads comparatively easily but the less-sharp European sword will still crack skulls and break spines & bones. More to the point the complex construction of katanas makes them highly"

"The first widely recognized self-propelled wheelchair was invented by Stephan Farfler in 1655. However earlier forms of wheeled chairs existed such as a chair commissioned by King Philip II of Spain in 1595 that required a servant to push it. There is no record of Pope Honorius (either Honorius I or Honorius III or the later Honorius IV) using a wheeled chair; however the use of the sedia gestatoria a ceremonial throne carried by footmen was common for popes.

"Why I run Call of Cthulhu in the 2020s. In short I feel it's easier to make a scary story when the players can reasonably imagine themselves in the milieu. It's easier to imagine themselves nowadays than in the 1920s. It also makes the game flow faster. You don't have to look up whether pizza was available in Atlanta in 1928 or if there was a shop selling Thompson submachineguns or whether there was regular air service to Berlin. It's far simpler to determine everything. You don't need some kind of background book for details - it's at the tip of your fingers. Even an unfamiliar town you can"

And their aircraft ranges far exceeded ours.

"The Imperial Japanese made a pretty amateurish mistake when it came to making their airplanes the best. They had incredible designers but they hung their hats on the idea of having the most maneuverable lightest and longest-range aircraft. They did this by leaving out every scrap of armor or self-sealing fuel tanks. This meant that a single bullet in the fuel meant you were going down eventually as it leaked out. So you know a self-sealing fuel tank works by a layer of foam rubber along the inside of the tank so a bullet penetrates but the foam seals up (if the bullet's not TOO big) and keeps"

"One reason I believed RuneQuest was more realistic than D&D and switched was because of armor. It didn't make sense to me that armor made you "harder to hit". It seemed that armor if anything would make you easier to hit because you'd be slower. Of course the damage would be mitigated. This is how it works in RuneQuest (and Call of Cthulhu). Armor directly lowers incoming damage. So if you have ringmail (Armor 4) and are hit with a sword rolling X damage only X penetrates since X minus X is X. Yes this does mean some targets (like dragons) are so heavily armored only a special or critical hit"

"Pirates in the AD&D monster manual says theyre just like buccaneers except theyre always evil alignment. Speaking as a man who worked for almost a year on a Pirate game in which all the players are pirates this checks out"

"An amazing fact is that up until the 80s or later we thought the only venomous lizards were the sister species Gila Monster & Beaded Lizard. Then a scientist noticed that people bit by komodo dragons got sick then weakened and died regardless of antibiotics. It was thought for years that this was just infections. They dissected one found venom glands. Just not hollow fangs. Then they did some more research and found that other monitor lizards alligator lizards a few iguanas and even horny toads have venom. There are at least XXX venomous lizards and we dont really know them all. Of course"

"Socialists regularly deny the fact that socialism is when government controls the economy. They may say "no it's when workers control the means of production". This requires a government which is OVER those workers to control the means of production and that's forced by its nature. So socialism is always turning over more power to the government. Socialists also are usually in denial that the government is made of up people who are fallible possibly corrupt and in a one-party state not subject to any oversight. It wasn't Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot or Mao Tse-Tung who personally killed millions"

"When me and my tiny team were creating Age of Empires: The Conquerors one of the fixes we did was letting you stack up farms. Basically you'd pay your wood costs ahead of time and then as farms timed out the farmer could grab one from the stack and keep going. I have been told that in age of Empires Definitive Edition the farmers now can just grab wood from your supply instead of you needing to queue them up. We actually considered this while working on the Conquerors but we decided that having the farmers basically "steal" wood from your pile would sometimes result in some real frustration"

"Martin Landau killed it as Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood". Also I read an interview with Johnny Depp about that same time (1994) in which Depp said he'd lost interest in making movies and had decided that Ed Wood would be his last. It just wasn't fun any more. Then he watched Martin Landau (age 64) just LOVING the camera and lapping up the attention and working like a demon to get the part Just So and aiming at perfection and Depp said Landau's obvious love and devotion for acting & movies rekindled his heart and made him change his mind and plunge back into acting excited and cheerful. So it was"

"Your job as gamemaster of a roleplaying game isn't to play fair. You're not a player in the same sense as your players. Your job is to craft an awesome tale with their participation and cooperation to entertain them. Their job is to entertain you in return. HENCEFORTH it is perfectly okay for you as gamemaster to fudge a die roll here and there if it would ruin some aspect of the game and hurt the players' fun. And I'm not saying this means you have to keep the players from losing or treat them as snowflakes. Risk of death (or worse in Call of Cthulhu) is absolutely part of the fun. Sometimes"

"What makes Call of Cthulhu unique Every roleplaying game has the basic cycle of: (1) players fight bad guys; (2) players level up; (3) players fight tougher bad guys. This is a compelling cycle which is why it's so popular. It's used in JRPGs MMO RPGs etc. etc. It's why combat is so important in roleplaying games. Don't get me wrong I love this cycle too and use it when I play fantasy or science fiction RPGs. And please - when I say combat is important this doesn't mean that other aspects of RPGs aren't also important. Look at the length of the combat chapter in your game. It's long and"

"The one facet of my career that I am most proud of is not Doom or Age of Empires or even Cthulhu Wars. Its that I popularized Lovecraft. Before Call of Cthulhu Lovecraft was vanishingly obscure. Only hardcore guys like me & Gary Gygax knew of him. Starting with Call of Cthulhu and accelerating with Stuart Gordons films Lovecraft awareness spread. At the spook alley last night there was an Innsmouth section complete with Deep Ones & Cthulhu. I told my granddaughters that the main reason that section existed originated with me. I was proud. So many have told me they were inspired to read HPL"

"One feature of Tolkien's orcs that tends to gradually be erased over time is their size. In the fight in Moria it's notworthy that one of the orcs is "nearly as tall as a man" clearly indicating that these creatures are NOT tall. Many are taller than dwarfs but also their size can range down to as small as a hobbit because Frodo & Sam pass as orcs in Mordor. Even the Uruk-Hai were only about man-sized at best. But starting with Games Workshop's Warhammer and extending into Blizzard's Warcraft orcs have been portrayed as larger than human. I am so proud of Peter Jackson's LotR which showed"

"Jack Vance articulated this argument but it resonates strongly with me. My property exists because I have sacrificed part of my life to earn it. Hence someone who steals or destroys my property is literally destroying part of my life. This is not "capitalist" as private property exists in every society even communist (look it up). Therefore severe penalties and use of deadly force vs. theft or vandalism is justified. The perpetrators killed part of your finite lifespan"
