GURPS has a specific disadvantage that is essentially this.

That was my first thought!

Oh yeah: https://instinctmagazine.com/white-nationalist-gavin-mcinnes-plugs-himself-to-own-the-libs/

There’s probably better sources, that’s just the first Google result.

That is such a frustrating storyline… Why couldn’t they just slap a suppression collar on him? Or see if there’s a material that might block his power, and make him a suit out of that? Or get him a LMD and let him live virtually through that while he stays safely stashed somewhere? Why do they go straight to “kill him, he’s bad PR for us!!!”

We love ours!

That’s a lot better than what I thought he’d be lining up…

My players ran across some Imperial guardsmen killing off skeletons, only for the orcs accompanying them to protest that they were destroying “registered cultural artifacts!” The orcs didn’t have much, and they would leave their bones to their children to help them eke out a meager existence.

As another perspective - it took me a moment or two to work out what was happening in the second picture, but then the whole tableau made sense to me!

Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.

That’s a really tough thing to deal with, but that doesn’t mean what you did was wrong.

I can’t see Trump being the sort to try to build something beyond himself. I don’t think he could see the point of trying to cultivate a successor; and even if he did, I think he would see them as potential competition - he’d likely try to sabotage them, if anything.

Some of those solo games can be played with multiple players and no GM, too!

Ugh, okay - I suspected something hinky was going on with Adam just from the summaries I’d seen, but I’m just as happy to give that game a miss now! Think I like him better as a brain in a box, but it still colors their relationship…

What went on in that game? The plot synopses I’ve found have lacked detail; he just comes off as vaguely controlling and uncommunicative.

That’s the one I haven’t played. Then I had to look up who this weird “Adam” character was in some of the following games…

I remember the plot was odd, but reading a random wiki didn’t make the story really stick for me.

We need more chicks who are “Basically the female equivalent of Duke Nukem”, and only Lara and Bombshell (from Ion Fury) come close to that bill

I’ve long been a fan of Samus Aran!

Does that show Ben Shapiro’s people made to be a Pro-Right Cartoon, but failed when the super woke antagonist was… a far more likable character than the protagonist, and said protagonist was so accidentally queer-coded as a closested gay bear with a crush on the woke antagonist guy that it attracted a Leftist fanbase that ships the Protagonist and Antagonist together? To such an extent that it might as well be a canon pairing?

Oh my god, this blew right past me! What show was this?

For flavor, you might include some NPCs mourning relatives who joined other failed adventuring parties. And if the module includes hireable NPCs, some of those might be survivors from other hastily assembled parties as well - the players’ party might be more attractive as a more capable party than their former squad. Or some NPCs might be shell-shocked survivors of other parties instead!

Mostly, this would let The Edge look like the best of the opposition, rather than the only other game in town!

And if you’ve been letting Steam store your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!
