But the best part is when he says THIS is what will cause Trump's supporters to turn on him. Right. Because planes falling out of the sky and not getting their Social Security checks wouldn't, but bullying Ukraine would?

This whole article is laughable. Dude is calling for Trump to be removed from office. Um, that would require either Congress or his own staff to stand up to him. And he's calling for a third party. Sure, because that will happen.

The real tragedy here is that they're not just hurting themselves. If they were, I'd be all, "Great, give 'em their Darwin Award and let's go home." It's the people who can't get vaccinated that are the real victims.

This is why we have a rule: Don't change the plan just because @scottsoper.bsky.social says so.

The wind would blow across the James River for a couple weeks, then shift the other way. You would think that was a blessing, and at first it was. How we loved the smell of fresh baking bread. At first. Imagine living with it all day, every day, for weeks at a time. You start to long for the sewage.

A lifetime ago, my first apartment was in Richmond, VA, right between the James River and the Wonder Bread factory. Imagine the smell of an open sewer and that's the James River. We moved in in AUGUST. In VIRGINIA. And we had no A/C, so the windows were always open.

To be fair, nobody (including Trump) seems to know who or what DOGE is, so there may be fictional people on the Federal payroll now.

He also found out his family had given him up for dead and made his younger brother the heir. Varis adventures for power and to reclaim his dukedom (killing his brother isn't off the table.)

Duke Varis Nalis (and yes, he insists on being called by his title) wandered off into the deeper woods his elven family ruled over one day and ended up wandering into the Feywild. A century later he wandered back as an Archfey patron warlock.

So what you're saying is: He's a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm... Raised by his uncle, lives with his cousins... This sounds familiar...

My go to is off-hand comments. "That's an interesting choice." Makes them second guess themselves.

I got to play in an evil campaign once, and even mentioning the name of my elven Fae patron warlock Varis Nalis in the presence of certain people will send them into fits.
I created his brother as an Oath of the Ancients paladin who was trying to hunt Varis down. Never got to play him.

I think the answer, like so much else, comes down to "do I find this interesting?" Not just from a story perspective, but from a mechanics perspective. If it enhances the game, then definitely include it. If it bogs down the game or reduces the fun, then no.

You're fine. (Usually said after asking for a saving throw or after touching an artifact.)

An elephant. And I would refuse to talk about him.

Or worse, the bard keeps subverting the party's attempts to escape. "This is my MOMENT."

As much as I like rogues, I'd probably play a fighter. Every party needs a fighter.

Even just the sound of it is something quite atrocious.

Totally forgot the Queen duo, "Flash Gordon" and "A Kind of Magic". While the latter is not technically released as a soundtrack album, it was the soundtrack for Highlander, with the bonus of "One Vision" from Iron Eagle. Two movies in one album!

1, Who bought you? (I have a guess, and it rhymes with "Coke".)
2. How much did you get for your principles? (As I understand it, the going rate is 30 pieces of silver, but I'm curious about the conversion rate.)
