One day the Earth's rotation slowed to a stop. India and Central Asia has been in daylight for the last 27 years. Meanwhile the America's have been in complete darkness. Europe, West Africa and the Oceaneas have been in varying degrees of dusk

Reply to Ask Dan Snyder why DC is the first host capitol city since 1974 (and the 2nd time ever) not to host a World Cup match!! by efthfj
God no thank you. It's the same as the Olympics, no city EVER makes its money back from that. All well get is a couple more stadiums left to decay for a few decades before they get torn down

I like most of these but I'm not sure about the Podcasts one. There's something to be had about putting all you have into an activity instead of focusing on other things

Reply to [WP] Everyone has something referred to as “Narrative Potential Energy” the higher this value is, the more involved in a story you are. Protagonists have a high amount as they drive the story forward, and background characters have little. Somehow you have negative narrative potential. by -Mothonawall-
Welcome to narrative energy cleanup 101. First, a villain does not exist without a hero and a hero cannot exist without a villain. That is the first rule of the narrative energy. This means a hero is the worst thing for society to have. Once he exists, baddies come out of the woodwork.
So, what do you do? Unlike normal energy, narrative energy dissipates over time. People get board of playing the hero, so the secret is to wear them out. Thats right, SIDE QUESTS, MINIGAMES, PUZZLES, YOU NAME IT!
I've been in this business for 23 years, I stopped Geralt of Rivia with nothing but a deck of Gwent cards, I've stopped countless adventuring parties by sending them into the underdark only for them to burn out, and over the next 10 weeks I'll show you all the tricks you need to stop a hero.
