Many of them are likely to come in pairs or clusters, so it's really less than ten. For ex, "Dispute over GM/referee existence" is pretty likely to also involve some or all of "Dispute over narrative direction/control" "Dispute over player agency" and "Dispute over GM rulings/authority" unless...

Nothing happened in Zero Hour. The only part of it that ever worked was retconned by blaming an evil yellow fear monster for Hal's actions, thereby ruining his breakdown storyline, his redemption arc and his time as the Spectre all in one fell swoop. Or is that felt swoop? :) And for what...

They still sell educational tools that consist of an entire 26-can set with each letter getting its own can to itself. Not exactly how alphabet soup actually works, but the idea of going out for groceries with a list that consist of "three cans G, two cans R, and one can Q for the fussy kid" is...

Hey now, kink shaming isn't cool. :)

I've owned a couple of those over the years and they all came with faux money. It was terrible, but it was there.

Well, that does leave the early "bring your own pawns/dice/faux money/etc." stuff from Cheapass Games in an awkward spot, but they were kind of the exception that proves the rule, I guess? :)

That book by Bach that @Maxperson mentioned seems to indicate it isn't wholly seen as negative but yeah, I can see grounds for being cautious about usage to avoid misunderstandings. I've mostly encountered that in reference to intelligence agencies (US and otherwise) and it was definitely...

We played through Citadel of Ice a while back. Wound up with a TPK (incredible run of bad die rolls did us in) but it was enjoyable as far as we got. At $8 it was a decent value. Free, it's a no-brainer if you own TFT and don't own it already. David Pulver does good, reliable work IMO.

Yeah, just in general dogs and human foods don't mix well. Even when they like the taste it's often bad for their inner workings. Easy to forget that just because live with us their digestive systems are very different, especially when they're begging.

I like that idea. There are even suitable miniatures on the market. Admittedly, you could probably kitbash something similar out of some Bones/Wizkids plastics for a bit less. Maybe even cheaper if you grabbed some "nature museum" toys for the octopus parts, although those were getting...

One of my snarkier friends suggested that the reason for the re-branding might have something to do with "alphabet soup" acquiring culture war connotations that soup-makers might prefer to avoid. I was going to dismiss the notion but some poking around shows it may have been at least partially...

nice: A city in France, as spelled by e e cummings. Now that's nonsense and a shibboleth to boot. :)

Yeah, that's supervillain stuff. :) (Caution: That particular page is safe, but overall that webcomic is either NSFW or at least really hard to explain to HR. The creator has some obvious fetishes that I wish they didn't, because the whole strip's full of neat little casual ideas like that...

I saw it on tv the one time it aired and look how well I turned out.

Sir Reginald Pikedevant approves. Also, it's Wooster-cester-shister-shyster-schuster-shuster-shister-shire...shire, as Warner Brothers taught us ages ago.
