  • If you’re looking for a TTRPG and not wanting to worry about the lfg hassle, check out Ironsworn! Grimdark low fantasy, playable in solo or co-op. Just takes some getting used to, and reading lots of player advice, but playing solo become very easy if you already have that rpg brain leading the way. Also free materials online, but I bought the core rules and the “dungeon” expansion hardcopies for about $50 (USD).

    I’ve since converted a couple of things and am solo playing to beef up the plot of a book I’m writing in a world I’ve been working on for about 5 years. Makes that process engaging for the gamer side of me!

    Can’t help you with the bees, I’m afraid…







  • While your numbers, if factual (no source posted), are statistically correct (in that it won’t make our species go extinct), you have to remember a simple fact: those numbers represent individual human lives. Family, friends, neighbors, your pizza guy, etc. Pretty brutal to be so flippant about.

    Also, this doesn’t take into account the potential for cascading environmental system failures that could be caused by such warming. These unknowns could greatly change the equation.

    I realize you are mainly arguing the point in response to “existential threats” being bandied about, but it’s a weird stance to take here.
