As an aside, one of my favorite DM trick traps has always been the Invisibility spell.

I'm assuming 90% of players have only ever looked at the spell as a means of stealth to bypass enemies. But there's actually a big bag of tricks that you can use with casting it on objects.

One of my all time best was a sheet of invisible iron halfway across a pit trap, hanging down from the ceiling. The player tries to jump across the 10 ft. wide pit? Bang! Straight into the iron, then splat! Down the hole.

Dude.

This is Goblins.

All this means is that something horrible is going to happen to someone we actually like.

Only if you mix it with some grain product.

Luckily, beer.

Also, since my D&D group has an anti-undead cleric and a virgin paladin in it, I'm gonna have to work a zombie prostitute into the story sometime.

I would, but frankly I'm far too into a bottle of gin to consider even thinking about possibly ruminating on a theoretical turn at Drunk Fortress.

Plus, I have rather specific design strategies that tend not to coincide with other players.

Gin is the devil's drink, lads. Avoid at all costs.

So the police have raided a journalist's home, siezed his phone and computers, and raided the ABC offices too.

I expect China is likely congratulating its Australian friends in proper guidance of the state journalism mouthpiece.

So I've picked this one up, which has been around since 2014. The team recently released version 1.50, which includes a new weapon and some extra gear. They've got two of five sections of their main storyline finished, and the release is slowly rolling forward for completion of the rest of the story mode gameplay.

One thing I found interesting to learn is that, rather than push forward with the story mode, the development team listened to their playerbase feedback on their initial two episodes and went back to redo them, removing pointless fetch quests in favor of more story driven activities that actually added something to the game's lore. I respect the team for actively working to improve their game instead of simply pushing out more content.

I've sunk a few weeks into this, and I can reliably avoid starving or freezing to death on the default difficulty. I'm contemplating moving up to a higher difficulty setting soon, once I'm more familiar with the maps. While loot generation is semi-random, the maps themselves are all hand-crafted to provide challenging and rewarding experiences for each playthrough, and part of the slow, silent charm of this game is exploring the locations available.

Frankly, I'm in love with this solitude simulation. No other players, no zombie hordes, just man versus nature in a struggle to survive. Even just leaving the main menu open to listen to the blowing wind and birdsong is heavenly.

I highly recommend trying this game.

And thus we end with the same mob as before.

Looks like Bill Shorten is throwing in the towel. Can't say I blame the bloke, it sucks to be the funny looking kid that always gets picked last for sports.
