My going theory is that a D&D party would be much more at home in a 30-years-war-adjacent setting than in the pseudo-medieval "Standard Fantasy Kingdom". Central authority is only vaguely existing even on paper, everything is crap, everyone has a sword/gun, and killing for money is an honest job.

That man is very lucky that the feds have never found a reason to search his harddrive.

I really wouldn't trust someone who might take political advice from Josh Barro here.

Somewhat understandable, he came up real young.

Also true for purportedly mainstream journalists and the centrist pundit types.

Well you COULD ask him, but that would just be a block.

In principle, absolutely, but on the other hand, they HAVE sort of tried that and, well.

Setting the woods on fire, even if you could, is also not going to be conducive to charging cavalry through said woods. Horses do not like fire!

Moose cavalry are criminally underused in fantasy settings.

*certain pitches on certain counts, usually his slider. He tried to fix it by tinkering with the pitch mix and that set off a whole cascade of things.

That would be my guess at this point; his velocity is normal and he's not just throwing stuff over the middle. When Meyer started imploding it was partly because scouting clocked that he always threw pitches on certain counts, but both times with Luzardo everyone was swinging immediately at him.

Started as a good data guy, now just a pundit lying for clout. Many such cases.

I feel like there's at least a chance Tolkien would be one of the "anti-same sex marriage but trans people are fine" guys.

A moment of silence for the person out there who had Luzardo, Warren, and Pfaadt on their fantasy team.

Jacen fell to the dark side because Troy Denning, a prolific author, is so bad at reading that he read Traitor and decided Vergere was Sith.

There's no guarantee he goes as nuclear in summer as he did before, but you will likely find Riley's stats at this time in 2023 and 2022 eerily familiar.

The Rise of Skywalker is a remarkable movie, in that it somehow made all the most boring possible choices while still being as insane as 90s EU.

MattY pals around with the free speech on college campus types, but if taken at his word (which he shouldn't be) he is a massive advocate for democratic centralism lol.

MattY wants "moderation" delivered by Democratic centralism so strong it can force people directly under attack to remain silent.
