I personally enjoy WOIN a lot. It has a nice approach to building a character where you can slot in levels and improve attributes with XP. Classes are open and mostly non-restrictive, and all the attributes are useful to every class.

There are thousands of rare diseases and conditions that have become effectively treatable in the past 20 years thanks to breakthroughs in medical technology. Stem cell treatment has been used to successfully treat some instances of paralysis, congenital teeth loss, blindness and others. Cancer and HIV survival rates are enormously better, but in most cases, if you don’t have those diseases and conditions, there’s no reason for you to hear about it.

The media sensationalises breakthroughs because journalists and the general public don’t understand anything related to the field, so there’s the impression that a new technology can immediately be used everywhere which is sadly not the case.

95% of the year is perfectly tolerable, AC units are expense and buying them for one week every year isn’t enough use to justify spending the money.

Landlords in the UK have a legal requirement to ensure that their property is safe for the occupants. In practice this means following a number of regulations set by the local authorities HHSRS (Housing health and safety rating system).

Most of these include a regulation on maximum window opening height to prevent people accidentally falling out of them, either purely by accident, or when in a “confused mental state” (this is mainly elderly people with dementia or something similar, and drunks).

It does everything I want it to do, and only a few things I don’t which immediately gives it a leg up on 5E.

If you ever do want to try and play it, there’s a guy who made a sort of functioning module for Foundry 9 which is floating around somewhere.

I don’t think so. Never seen one at least.

It’s clearly a reference to how Kant lived in mid-1700s Germany, which had not yet been introduced to driving on the right, which was apparently spread through Europe by Napoleon’s army.

Either that or we’re look at him through a mirror

The good ol’ “our philosophical model can’t explain this so we’ll call it a paradox” approach.
