"Changes". Cool milquetoast headline. At least you had the courage to be clear in the article.

This is a failing of the NIH/SciCom, but you can see funded grants out of NIH via reporter (reporter.nih.gov/advanced-sea...). You can see how many grants, which institute funded them, etc.
Nto be brief now, but happy to answer more. System is obtuse, but it's actually pretty transparent.

OD has historically funded resources that span the institutes. It's not just their office building...

I love the Jackson LotR movies, but they certainly skewed color palettes in a major way. Once I'm back with my paints, I need to recapture this vibe.

I've been burned many, many times by collaborators who had different versions of endnote, open source things deprecating, etc. I use zotero currently, but i keep a backup so I can print out a grant, highlight, and put in references from a .txt I keep if needed.

Mark, you're missing the point. Most of the faculty in the SOM are fixed term (all soft money). Most promotion guidelines are focused on getting funding. UNC can make policy changes to buffer these folx during this time that have nothing to do with federal policy. Would be nice to see something.

Yes, will be devastating. Waiting for Institutions to stand up on this. Unsurprisingly, not happening.

Nice! Hundred Years War?

Didn't know it started at the Forge. I remember seeing a copy of Hero Wars at the local game store when I was a broke grad student, and wanting it because I'd read reviews on RPGnet. Recently picked up a copy 2nd hand, and was very happy. Such a cool system, thanks mate!

Great idea, there's so much that DOGE is "discovering" that is literally available on legally mandated and publicly funded federal sites it's infuriating.

Curious as to what I missed about Mearls? I've seen him hocking his patreon a lot recently, but wasn't aware there was something more controvertial.

Cool! If you can find it, there was a great set of Rules by The Perfect Captain (A crown of paper/A coat of steel) that were bespoke for WotR. They made battles seem like less of a 'gunline' you'd see in DBX/Knight Hack. We quite enjoyed them for both single battles and campaigns.

Awesome! Are you aiming for a particular battle, or just the breadth of the war?

My son and I play killteam. While the boxes are fairly pricey, it gives you everything you need for regular games. Was annoyed when GW announced they're going to start rotating out 'old' teams from competitive play. Not a stop for us at home, but ensures we won't be going to the shop for games.

I have to imagine that after the initial editions in the 80s/90s, there probably wasnt much rechecking the lists for accuracy, more for balance. I get much more annoyed by rules published after 2000, which use the DB* lists as gospel truths and just copied over into their systems.

Nice looking table. I really enjoy those disorder(?) markers. Make them yourself?

I'm a low volume poster, but I do wargame, help organize a con in the American southeast, and will be in england for 3 months this coming spring and looking to connect with gamers there. Would love to get connected to the larger community.

My dad raved about this trilogy when I was a teen. I could never get through them.

Book the flight, something will work that requires you to do an immediate followup.

Do microsats and minisats have any benefit in eukaryotic genomes? I know they're occasionally used in bacteria for phase shifting.

Dungeon Mayhem works, but its better with 3+. Complete game averse-senior citizens, and 6 year olds can play very easily. Star realms (starter deck is explicitly 2 player) or Here to Slay. Merchants&Marauders:Broadsides.

Taran Wanderer is 100% the best. Hope you enjoy!
