Ran a 2.5 year campaign in this setting. Had enormous amounts of fun with it, and it remains one of my very favorite settings to this day.

A red panda. Sure, my cats would freak the hell out, but a red panda would quickly use their zen powers to calm them down.

Bots, man. Bots.

So, you're looking for a more 'consequence-free' instance? Is that an accurate statement?

I view moderation as 'the rules of the house'. When you go to another person's house, you are expected to abide by their (hopefully sane and sensible) rules. If you don't, you are asked to leave. Sometimes, you are forcibly removed if things escalate. If you don't like the rules of the house, or you can't find common ground with the people there, don't go there.

I just don't answer any call from a number that I don't recognize. If it's something important, they'll leave a message. If they don't, then I'll forget about it and go on with my day.

How do you know we aren't?

Some of the very best game sessions I've ever had were ones that didn't use any map whatsoever. It's nice to have visual aids, of course, but I don't think it's always an absolute must-have.

There is always hope. It just depends on how much effort you personally are willing to put in to help change the things you're seeing. There are several movements (50501 and Indivisible are two that immediately spring to mind) with millions of members that are currently fighting to change things. Get involved.

Betamax....wow....lol. That really brings me back.... :D

Or what kind of boss she has. When I see stuff like that, I always make sure to tip well.

One of my faves from childhood. I still love corny old fantasy movies to this day. :D
