    Are we talking proper British Tea, or British Cuisine in general?

    British Cuisine is freak awesome breakfast, fish and chips (normally awesome) for lunch and Curry or other India Food for supper, other than Sunday when you do

    a dry roast beef (vs pot roast)

    Late 20th/ early 21st Century UK has nothing to be ashamed about it's food.  Other the Marmite, of course, that's just gross.

    Among other things, one rumor about that brawl during the Council of Nicea was that St. Nicholas of Myra (i.e. Santa Claus himself) personally grabbed the heretic Arius by the throat and choked him. (Arius was preaching that the Christ was a creation of God rather than being of one and the same nature as God.)

    MJL, I swear to God, if you start losing entire municipalities to nightmare realms or elder horrors, I am raising your warning level!

    It's JML, just for what it's worth.  I go by my middle name, and if possible mlooney is my computer loggin and has been that way from 1976 back when I was on a PDP-11 time share system.

    I'm not so certain about places "where the wind comes skipping down the plain".

    Sweeping down the plains.  Not skipping, that would not make sense, now would it.

  4. The various "Black Tokyo/Otherverse America/Galactic Command/PSI-Watch" d20 Modern splat books.

    Several of these make me feel unclean.  He (all written and illustrated by the same dude) has some good ideas, if you can just, well, take the sex out of it.   And not just sexy sex.  Some of his spells, for example, require the caster to use her menstrual blood as part of the spell.  And it has to be fresh, non of this assuming it's in your spell components pouch.  Plus monster (both male and female) that have attack/defense forms based on their genitalia.   \

    The Black Tokyo series, is almost like some one read FATAL and said "Hey, I could make a playable game out of this"  I suspect I'm going to be grabbing quite a lot of PSI-Watch, lesser amounts of Galactic Command, bits and bobs from Otherverse America and very little from Black Tokyo.

    Project [redacted] is a game that takes place in one universe, but each part of the universe has differing tech level and local monsters, with some things that are the same through out the setting and some things that are isolated to one or two parts.   It's core is the Mongoose Traveller SRD mixed with the SRD5 and great chunks of d20 Modern OGL stuff.   Problem is Mr. Fields is the only person putting out new or newish d20 modern, and I flat out hate the Pathfinder Modern paths and the parts I would need in T-20 (Traveller under the d20 license or it's direct decedent SciFi20) are, by name, not open game content.  This leaves me with either a whole not more design work than I want or wading through a set of splat books based either on the 2nd American Civil war being about abortion (and a whole setting based on that) or a set of splat books based on horror hentai. 
    Creepy horror hentai at that.


  5. The fact that I will be joining the bunny hatch if full snark mode as soon as SisterSome story arc with 3 in the title starts. Unless he does something really cool in "Q&A:Answer Harder" or in NP. Snarking on non canon, unless it supports the OTT isn't really my thing and snarking on Q&A seems counter productive. In my CFT / time not spent on project [redacted] I may go find all the canon references for the OT14. That ought to be fun.


  6. Finally over the "fall on your ass and break body parts" caused by jumping into the deep end of the pool with Cymbalta.  Shrink said it would take 4-5 weeks, and he was dead on target.   He also used the term "ride the bull" when we were talking about doing the slow build up vs going whole hog due to cost reasons.  I assumed "ride the bull" would mean manic phases, which at that time would have been good, given what was going on in my life.

     

    No, it meant your sense of balance is going to take a vacation to the beach while you get adjusted.  The is exactly NOT what I needed while packing to move, moving and unpacking.

     

    The only long lasting thing is I might have cracked my lowest rib on my left hand side, but other than sleep on my left side being Right Out it's not giving me any trouble and that is getting better.

    I was wondering how many we might have like that!  Hopefully the archive will be at least mostly recovered....

    Hmm, that's interesting, it just broke up my "recovered" at the end of a line.  Got the hyphen in the right place, at least!

    You'll pay for that one!

    *looks around for Looney's list*

    /me has list out, but /me is confused as to what need to go in
    /me puts the list back, baffled.

    Nanase does, but apparently not as often as she thought since she didn't know about being able to customize fairy doll outfits, then again, something like that could have been easily overlooked.

     

    Aside from Nanase, Susan never was eager to learn new spells after awakening due to how she awakened and how she got magic in the first place, I think after being told about the stuff she could possibly do with the fairies, she might read up on it more often.  Ellen would probably flip through her book occasionally but not very often. The last time Elliot probably looked at his book might have been after he got the superhero form and secret IDs.

    No one seems to be reading their spellbook.  Nanase didn't notice an upgrade, Susan didn't know she had either an upgrade or new spells, Justin doesn't know he HAS a spellbook, and of course Elliot hasn't been reading his.   The only mage of the main 8, in canon, who we haven't seen not know something about their spells, is Ellen.
