I thought that was a legitimate proof. Right after I started lurking moar it was one of the proofs that sucked me in, though nothing convinced me like the North Korea blow-by-blow.
Oh I like that idea. Just waitin’ for the order to go over the berm. See ya on the other side. God Bless.
THat’s what they used to say in the old Soviet Union. You could get a rough idea of things by reading the new because you knew that whatever the truth was, it was NOT what they were printing. So you could sort of work back from there.
And MOB itself in gaming stands for Monster Or Beast.
We need a little light to come in each and every day.

For sure.
Duderama,
Don't you know how far you've come? You just said "bruh" OUT OF YOUR MOUTH (keyboard)!
My first impression of you was getting my hand smacked by the "ruler of doom" from the "potty mouth 👮♂️". And now look.
Bruh.
What a world, eh?

Yes, that Steven Stills was the only one with any talent at all and Crosby and Nash have been like remora eels on him for the past 35 years.
Oh, I also liked it when he said that Crosby left the Byrds because there wasn’t room for both him and his ego.
As I mentioned on another thread - the term NPC came out of RPG games like Dungeons & Dragons, etc before video games.
Here’s my response on how an NPC would interact with a D&D group of players:
That was one type of NPC (other poster was talking about a dwarve attacking a group of players...really more a monster than an NPC). Others were characters that were used to ensure the story kept going the way it was intended. So maybe - you save the princess from the dungeon, but she adamantly refuses to leave until you retrieve her necklace.
The party discusses amongst themselves and says “sorry princess not worth our lives for a bauble.
She states “I cannot return without it or she will not be able to marry her prince charming as it represents her dowry. Besides it’s just sitting on the table in the long hall.”
The party confers - “nope not worth it”
She says “I can get you each 100 platinum and a magic item of your choice (DM note: up to 1 level above current character level)”
Party confers (DM note: any thief in party is awarded 10 gold from all other party members due to increased proximity occurrences) - “ok let’s go”
Party enters long hall (DM note: Princess gets lost at least twice enroute) and is set upon by 2 trolls, 5 goblins, and a pack of kobolds. Necklace if picked up by anyone other than princess will deliver an electrical shock of 5 hp. Princess will hinder any party member in a direct line between her and necklace as she attempts to retrieve delivering a -1 chance to hit and -1 Armor class. If she is able to place necklace on all monsters fall asleep.
Princess will remain with party until exit from dungeon. Party incurs a -2 penalty to hide and move silent skills. Every 4th turn party will lose a turn while waiting out princess temper tantrums and self-pity displays.
THAT is a good D&D NPC... If they aren’t named they are just monsters. An NPC is either a named monster who has lines or a character who drives the story in a direction.
Remember, most of us have to keep our mouths shut in public, that’s how bad it is. There is SOO much more support than you would think.

The pope met with Mikey More?? Are you kidding me? Wait, why am I surprised. This pope is such a disappointment. No words. And as for Mikey...no words exceprt Corsi has total competition in the World’s Fattest Man contest...and I think Mikey the slob wins!
I have words but I'd have to go to Confession.
LOL!! I will read and learn....
I think it’s the Pope who needs to go to confession...then, change his ways!
You can freepmail links to people, though.
I think the pope just needs to GO!
Thanks, I will read and learn.
