Eh, gonna have to soft disagree.
Its got a lot of those same elements, but you have a character that is only at one spot at a time, and so that limits how elective you can be at the expansion part.
That said, it is also not a typical RPG where you have just a character adventuring across the land. Really unique game in that its a bridge between those two broad genres.


Its honestly a very small facet of the game, and more so used to bootstrap your company/Army’s finances until you gain lordship of towns and cities (and thus collect rents).
But to try to explain how it comes together anyway:
So towns specialize in producing a single type of raw resource (grain, ore, grapes, sheep, etc) and they sell those goods mainly to a single city. A city will have 2-4 towns “feeding” it resources, and so if a city has 3 towns that bring it grain, then you’d expect the grain price to be cheaper than in a city who’s towns produce ore.
Next level, if you have two neighboring towns one producing ore and one with grain, chances are there will be a stable (and relatively low) grain price in both with reasonably high population (pop growth is primarily boosted by excess food). Imagine now an enemy army rolls up and burns all the grain towns and seiges the grain city (traders can’t enter a sieged city). After a week, this would lead to MUCH less grain in the ore city, thus prices spike.
So you, an enterprising new player with a dozen men and some spare horses, load up with cheap grain from somewhere else on the map and make a run to the ore city, selling grain at an inflated price.
Again, this general strat is good for bootstrapping the money to build a medium warband, but generally falls away as a viable source of income once you leave there early game.


You wanna look under Retirement Under FERS > Retirement with a deferred, full pension
Edit: god that document is a pain in the ass to read and comprehend. Looks like it was designed to answer specific questions (vs getting a holistic view of the retirement program)


Huh, and these experts get paid? And I assume good money too, yeah?
Hell, I can make assessments like this! Where to I apply?


Which OS / app is this for?


"Yeah Facebook, I’d like to report this post.
Reason: I’m in it and don’t like it"


It appears to be a widely circulated fan art, appearing on her page of the Fandom Wiki (though Tetsuya Nomura may be an official artist for FFX).
Point is that its accredited to an artist, so it would seem the missing teeth was intentional?


Oh, I thought this was going to be about the trading cards they implemented in steam. Those are so lame and cheap I wasn’t bothered by this.
For any non-readers-of-articles, this is about a loot box mechanic added to counterstrike (which is fair criticism imho)


So that says to me there was a worse economic downturn for farmers in mid 70’s.
I know there was a bunch of junk with oil at the time. Is that what the downturn was about or was there something else happening at that time to beat on farmers specifically? Any history buffs with the inside scoop care to share?
To be fair, the 3/4 fit elves account for 2/4 middle age dads.
Aren’t 3 of the 4 “Elf Princes” still known to be incredibly fit?


I’m out of practice with my physics so apologies if this is a n00b question, but:
I’m unclear what (rho V) is and how you converted to that from mass (m). Further unclear what (rho A d) refers to.
Can you explain / link to an explainer on this?


So the way I could see this working for her is have Bernie Sanders come and endorse her right out the gate (I doubt he’d be up for being her running mate, but it’d probably be an even better run if he accepted that).
Ol’ boy had been VERY effective at breaking into right - leaning spaces and I could see him contributing to getting the historically Democrat (but not recently Democrat) voter out for AOC.
My real concern is the party leaders. I could see them trying to hold back resources and effectively pulling the same moves they pulled in Bernie to hold her down.
Is there actually a way to do mapping (like google maps) with Vim? Or am I reading too much into the meme?


Sounds like a good resource, but I guess what I meant was a setting to run a game in (e.g. a campaign set in the Inner Sea or Sword Coast) with enemies and grabbags of challenges with balanced NPCs for side interactions and such.


I’ve always been allergic to spell casters (the strategy behind the best use of spell slots just never clicked for me - which is extra painful because it seems like if should be simple, but I consistently manage to botch it), going back to when i picked this all up in the 3.0e days.
I think that’s caused me to not really engage with the spell casting side of spell casters in PF2e. I remember in 3.5, we banned Mystics because spontaneous divine spell casting was broken, so maybe I just need to run one to see if work.


Hmmm, okay. So I have a personal affinity for Swashbucklers. Compared to a proper fighter, they don’t lay down much damage, but they can move, and then when you get where you need to be, you can lay down pain in other ways (love a good tumble through + trip).
I remember immediately seeing the value in all that when it was first released, even though my party said that it felt way to convoluted. I think I’m just in the other side of that kind of conversation here.


Wait, your party works together??
Wish mine did that.


I was curious about this some years back.
Are there any published materials on how to run a game in a GURPS system?
Its my understanding it does, but is generally far less noticeable (gets caught and held in hair, then washed out when bathing) but is usually cared for / treated by using proper hair products.
