Kickstarter is Schroedinger's store. You don't know if it's a store or not until you get your thing in the mail or the guy runs off with the money

I have the strangest urge to buy a Numenera license and write the worst officially licensed supplement of all time.

You'd go to jail if you tried to delay payment for an oven and tables until after your restaurant is open and making money.

This is called a bank loan.

On the topic of wargames, how many out there don't have the painting aspect? I know there's HeroClix, but...well, putting models together and painting them is something that is really time-consuming and I'm not very good at it, but I want to be able to play some wargames, too. This feels like a market niche that just is not fulfilled right now.

Along this line, how do people react to proxies in casual play?

Just remember, James Raggi apparently likes Varg.

An oroboros of poo poo etc etc

Not... exactly. Going through his G+, it definitely seems like he is linking Varg's video because it's weird to see a hardcore racist/murderer talk about D&D. "[H]e really doesn't sound any different than anyone else around here."

On the other hand, going through Raggi's blog post and links is... enlightening. Raggi made a G+ post to the effect of no matter what an unrepentant bloody handed murderer you are, it shouldn't stop people from buying your poo poo or collaborating with you.

Pathfinder out sold 4e for four nonconsecutive quarters starting three years from the release of 4e. Assuming ICv2 is reliable. This in the ~5 years both Pathfinder and 4e were commercially available and does not include the 4e launch.

The quickest way to bring in new blood to RPGs is to build a young adult party game. Some weird bastard of CaH and Fiasco. A little "edgy". Takes about an hour. Rules you could learn even if you're a little buzzed.

You're mostly listing fans of activities or objects, whereas what Vampire tapped into was a scene based on aesthetics. That includes music, clothing, and, I think most importantly for an RPG to draw in a subculture, fictional narratives, be they Poppy Brite, Anne Rice, Brian Lumley, or Bram Stoker. I'm not sure what the RPG that draws in Tea Partiers looks like, since RaHoWa was a miserable failure that went nowhere.

...of course it also helps that the worst-kept secret of the gothic-industrial scene is that it is chock-full of nerds.

I knew it, Castle Falkenstein was way ahead of its time.

I forgot why I was told this was not likely, but why is it again that he cannot just be making up his entire life story? I mean, if you tell me there is "a sophisticated Uruguyan who details which cigars and tobacco varietals he is smoking while endlessly posting screeds against progressive values" I am going to assume, no matter how many times someone tells me otherwise, that this is a bored IT helpdesk guy in New Hampshire faking his IP address and wishing his life were half as interesting as he pretends it is.

He's a guy who seems to believe that a conspiracy of Maoist-Gynocrats are coming for his games AND that he can do real spells. Living in Uruguay and smoking mid priced pipe tobacco are the most believable parts of this story.

OK so.

The US Congress is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives,. The word Congress generally refers to the whole US Federal legislature.

Members of the House are typically addressed as Congressman, Congresswoman, or Representative. Members of the Senate are usually addressed as Senator almost exclusively. Technically, both Congressmen.

There are 2 Senators per state. Both are elected by state wide elections. There are 435 Congressmen apportioned by state population and then further apportioned into districts of roughly equal population size. Each district elects a Congressman.

Freedom of speech under capitalism means all the speech you can buy and all the speech you can make. Any larger principles about freedom of speech have largely gone out the window, if they ever really existed.

I don't know anything about Wil Wheaton the person but as an actor he's fantastic at playing self-absorbed slimeball villains and I'm actually kind of sad that I've only seen him cast this way once, and for a relatively minor part.

Don't confuse hating his character with hating his execrable acting.
