Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series.

Just a breathtaking setting that begins with the first hundred settlers and traces the intrigue, terraforming, conflicts, and dreams of the colonists. It's a sweeping epic written on a human scale.

“Our goal in a couple of years is for people to think of Infowars as the funniest and dumbest website that exists,” Ben Collins, the Onion’s CEO, told The Associated Press. “It was previously the dumbest website that exists.”

Same for MSNBC, really. Cable news is owned by people who have a conflict of interest with the working class.

It started as a fake psychiatry scam, but when Hubbard realized there were laws regulating medicine he switched it over to being a religion where there aren't any of those pesky regulations or ethical oversight.

Weird, they just let a psycho killer be a cop? I'm sure they'll prevent that in the future.

Because they're certain that the people getting punished are heretics to their reactionary ideology.

They see it as inferior people getting what they deserve, and since it's privatized they imagine they'll pay less for the privilege.

Yamaha makes the best guitar for the money.

The instrument I probably play the most is a nylon string Yamaha with a great dual pickup/mic that I got for $100 at a pawn shop. It has some cosmetic wear, but that's a bonus in my opinion.

I'm a man, and I voted against the fascists.

Because I'm not a fragile moron who thinks Daddy Trump will make women be nice to me.

I want hammocks like a man o' war.

Stack em three high and still have some legroom.

He knows. All they need is an excuse.

 
 

I picked this up yesterday and checked out a few games in the collection. What I've played so far has been a blast.

 

With lots of similarly named communities, it'd be a useful tool to keep everything straight.

 

I've run and played a lot of Apocalypse World, but have only recently read the Burned Over hackbook. Is there anything I should keep in mind when running this "new edition?" It seems pretty straightforward to me.

I'm also curious to read about which gamechangers people elected to use (and how they played out in the end), which new playbook is your favorite, and whether you prefer standard 2E or Burned Over.
