You can carve a perfect replica of your camera with the parts on the wrong side and use a mirror to reverse it

It was kind of a clumsy way of putting it, but I was basically trying to say that you can't just point at one thing and say "this idea always leads here". You can make an educated guess at the general direction if the system is abused, but you can't be certain.

A system needs to be carefully maintained to stay in its best state as long as possible. We haven't invented the perfect system yet, so pretty much everything we have will eventually fall apart. We just need it to last 'til we can make something better

If capitalism inevitably becomes imperialism, then wouldn't the evolution of communism into something akin to Soviet Russia also be inevitable? Both are extreme worst case scenarios of a decent idea

I'm of the opinion that overcentralization of power inevitably leads to disaster. The people in New York can't truly understand the issues in Texas any more than the people in Texas can truly understand California's issues and Canada would have an even harder time truly understanding those same issues. The people who are working to fix problems should be close to those problems

I'm here by accident, this post keeps getting pushed on me. I'll check out some of the literature and see what it has to say though. If I learn something then thank you in advance

You need to weigh the feet down, but I'm willing to help. Cheap shoes and duct tape should do the trick

It's almost as if you can't describe an entire economic system in a single sentence accurately. Who knew?

The core of capitalism is that you own the means of production and what you produce. Corporate/crony capitalism is that you can own things that other people make because you paid them to make it. Under free market capitalism, I don't own the thing until I pay for the thing.

I hire you to make a chair and I'll probably give you some money beforehand to reserve the chair and pay for materials, but the chair isn't mine until you give it to me and I pay

One is describing capitalism and the other is describing corporate capitalism. This isn't a left or right thing, both are capitalism

For some reason only Vegetable_variety is able to post on r/DnDmemes. It's weird, but people have been sending memes on to be posted so it kinda works

I was thinking more jokey. Not necessarily creepy, just weird. My plan was to make rules for all the weird meme spells like Greater Baja Blast

I'm working on a Tome of Forbidden Spells just to see what my players will do with weird magic

I know it's not quite the same, but Song of the Beast by Carol Berg is kinda like this. The book starts after the main character is released from a 20 year prison sentence and he's trying to find out why he was in there in the first place

Technically you still use weapons but you start with a 100% damage penalty and get points and experience for leaving as many monsters as possible alive

I've played a bit, it's a fun game and the characters are unique enough to give it some depth. There's even a pacifist character

Mulan gets shit done. Most of the others don't even have any confirmed kills

Is this satire or someone who really shouldn't have flushed their meds?

I can definitely do a mystery. The part I'm struggling with is the Victorian setting. That might end up as just flavoring because I don't know if i can find a way to get the feel right on one page

About 5 pounds iirc. Don't ask

I didn't know about this, but I have ideas. Do you think I can fit a Victorian mystery game on one page or is that too ambitious?

Technically Cairn is an Into the Odd hack. If you like Cairn, you should check out the original too. It was recently rereleased on DrivethruRPG
