ngl playing this starfinder playtest adventure is not giving me the impression that paizo is good at adventure design
this is the second time we've gone up against a big solo enemy with a big defensive ability to ignore most offense (first an animated statue at level 1 with construct armor and now at level 2 some kind of vampire with 5 resist physical and fast healing 5)
like we took 'em both down but both of them made for really drawn out fights that were difficult but only in that we just had to keep trying and hope the dice would favor us eventually. fortunately i as an operative had bought a laser pistol because otherwise we would have been fucked lol this last one
never really looked closely at the cover of love it love before but i have now concluded that Nana Grizol are furries

during the course of this waiting period for water stones in my soul silver playthrough i went and did a normal playthru of let's go eevee :)

my wife and i just discovered that "Looker" is (code-)named Looker in the sense of someone who looks hot. not someone who does the action of looking

i was trying to name my bulbasaur in let’s go eevee Flos extraneus. which was too long. so i changed to the feminine form of the adjective even tho flos is m in latin because extranea saves a letter. and then deleted the space to save another character.
This was not allowed for a reason that did not take long to figure out.

i have now caught the second shiny mareep-line pokémon of this Soul Silver playthrough o.o
(flaaffy while grinding levels on route 42, plus a mareep much earlier before the first badge)

the player then continued on to fail to get a hereditary knighthood, fail to enlist in the Navy, get drafted into “Other” and immediately lose 2 points of Social Status and get essentially nothing out of character creation hehe.
he is the disgraced aristocrat fuckup getting bailed out by more successful family friends or something.

gonna spin up a classic traveller side campaign tonight for when one of the players can’t make it for the usual monday game.
now taking predictions on how many characters will die during character generation (for 4 players).
re: idea for a pokémon challenge run
@Lady @aescling i think it varies depending on the specific challenge.
tho to answer cat's question, this idea seems like its big advantages are that it would encourage one to use mons you otherwise might not by randomly shrinking the available pool of mons (as is common in e.g. nuzlockes) but without bias against infrequently-appearing mons
colonization, christianity
there was a dude in 17th century spain that argued that the Garden of Eden was in America. and that the forbidden fruit was the banana.
reading about this briefly led me to wonder how i had never realized that the banana is of American origin. (the answer is that i never realized this because it isn't. turns out people have been anachronistically back-projecting plants on the wrong sides of the "Columbian exchange" for a long time)
eugenics, imperialism
this prompted by reading the introduction to *Las venas abiertas de América Latina", which talks a lot about eugenicist policies in "development"/"foreign aid" stuff and trying to look up more about it
unsurprisingly the wikipedia is not a very useful source for researching imperialism
