  • Thanks for your work, on making the weekly challenge happening.

    I am a bit worried by logistic of having a thread for the “entries” and a thread the next week for the votes (Might be manageable with a script/bot) not sure whether you (or someone else) has the bandwidth to manage it.

    for the rest, not sure whether we need to review the weight to limit the upvote weight compared to the extra points, or whether we shall accept a “first to posts wins” type of challenge, yesterday I try to add a PSA message, but don’t feel like it changed much the outcome













  • IMO, the big American bias in heroic fantasy RPG including D&D is how empty (most) settings are. If you travel (nowadays by car) in rural Europe, you’d find village every 5-10km, turns out that people walking to their field don’t like to spend more than 1h commuting. While on some high fantasy map, you have like 3 day of walk through a dangerous forest, or an endless plain without much settlements.

    Also it’s worth mentioning that many European major roads/highway have been built at first by the Roman, and have been modernized through history. So again, middle age wasn’t as empty, salvage as many D&D settings. Which indeed looks more like frontier era US.



  • Randomly drawing citizen. Sure politics require some training, but it can be done on the job

    Also, countries with proportional votes tend to force politicians to talk with each other more than countries with single representative per district.

    Limiting elected official mandates to one or two. If you couldn’t do something in 10 years no reason to think you’ll do it latter
