Better question: What would the headstone say?

Turn puppet into proper land battleship

It's a SHADOW puppet.

Respawn as a giant locust twisted into humanoid form.

[3] ...with the cube-square law in full effect. Respawn?

Leave room. Conquer Best Buy.

You don't see any doors, [1] and attempt to make one with your head. Evidently, they weren't being literal when they called you thick-skulled. Respawn?

THROW THE CATALOGUE INTO THE MACHINE, UTTERING DARK LITANIES TO NYARLATHOTEP.

[1] "What is it, mortal?"
"Who said you could come?"
"Oh, yes, I wanted to, and wasn't forced to by this foolish--"
"You two-to-the-tenth-faced bastard, you're going down!"
"I suspect a differing vector for my fate, you hexahedral hore."

Throw fixed warbot at Die.

Stop perseus from throwing the warbot.

[6] Doomblade grabs Persus's arm, causing the warbot to strike Doomblade's head...

So can I have my stuff?
>If  yes, ask what to do.
>If no, go grab Vorthon, toss into machine. Furtuka Vorthon, to use the new verb.

[1] "No! Just leave me alone, the grown-ups are talking. How dare you kill the one I promised to keep safe?
"Pathetic. Control over probability and you can't save anyone..."
"Joke's on you, he's still alive!"
"Technically."
...Anyway...
[4v1] Vorthon grabbed. [6] Vorthon becomes a second body for Furtaka!

Respawn with an inflatable blimp
Shove down someone's throat and inflate.
Gibs.

[2] A plastic model of the Hindenburg. On fire, of course.

GM Turn:
The warbot [4] shoots lasers and missiles at Persus. Being lasers and missiles, it's pretty near physically impossible to dodge them. Respawn?
The Dicpawn attack, oh, Tavik Toth. [1v5] And each other.
"I've had about enough of your crap, Nylarthotep! It's time we ended this!"
"Certainly you don't mean for the two of us to brawl like mortals?"
"...Of course not! We will select champions!"

I'm kinda g,ad no one drowned. And we didn't even lose a bison!

LOSE THE GAME.

Lets leave the decision up to him if we go down that route of thinking, give him some free will of consequence.

Agreed. Because saying +1 seems silly.

Spoiler: Long rant (click to show/hide)

I know the next endless debate - education of our son...

I propose to be careful with that Let's keep short term and long term at least at two to one ratio.... Or just stop to post when you have no ideas for the update
At  least use "long term stuff" spoilers

I want to see fresh, original and funny ideas for current updates. I suspect that GM wants the same

When I went in that convert Alice fight, it was at least relevant and possible in almost every update. And I think it influenced some conversations with her

I agree with your idea, but doubt that the implementation will succeed.

Not too bad, although having a mortal playmate should still be considered.

Yeah, if opportunity arise bring some small animal to our son, and teach him that it is not for food but to play with, Gwen should aid him in getting mutual understanding with the pet, that will be a kickstart for a future animal empath. I think young lovebird is good for that role, if Rox will bring some nice alive animal from the hunt we may use that

This sounds like a good idea.

I think he's a bit young for a pet right now. I mean, he's not really going to be talking or walking well until he's 2 months.

Nit a pet to take care of, a pet to play with. Like a dog, except not a dog. Which has to be the most semantically null sentence I've said in a while.

try to teach our son to say Fellsoil while Alice and Gwen try to convince him to say their names. IT IS TRADTION

Now that is too early

It is a traditional thing and it may even be a bonding exercise. I'd rather not be seen as an evil monster, rather be percieved in the same way as a predator, not a monster.

Tradition is good. If a future night troll gets interrupted by an adventurer, I'd rather have the adventurer see a (twisted parody of a) person carrying on traditions older than anyone can remember than a monster bored out of its (probable) skull.
Just don't expect him to talk back.

Differences:
1. We've been to the Lunar surface.
2. An escape craft from Luna would be possible.

We've been to the Martian surface. There isn't that much the rovers can't analyze that a live person could.
An escape craft from Mars is possible. We've never built one, but it's possible. Mars' escape velocity is 5 km/s to Luna's 2.4 km/s. Earth's, by comparison, is 11.2 km/s.

HUMANS have been to the Lunar surface. Yes, the same types of things used to move rovers to the Martian surface could be used for people, too. No, we haven't tried.
I meant that you could get to Earth in a reasonable amount of time.

Supplies on the craft would have to last a lot longer, too. You could probably get a colonizing craft to the Lunar surface within a week, and therefore would only need supplies for that week, plus however long it takes you to set up the colony's farms. Trips to Mars would take months.

Not with better engines, which we will probably have by that time.

There's no wind, though. You should be able to build the actual panels a foot or so off the ground or something. Also, why would you eat moon dust? Those space suits are there for a reason.

I don't think you quite get how charged this dust is. It will actually crawl up things, if the reports are to be believed. Plus, not all of it is on the surface thanks to constant meteor impacts.

1. Evidently not. The obvious answer is to charge whatever's holding the panels up. Negative repels negative, you know.
2. Are meteor impacts really so common as to create clouds of dust that linger for any appreciable amount of time? Doesn't a lack of air mean it will fall back to the surface pretty fast?

As for toxicity, as I recall you only have to touch it, which is in the realm of possibility when it's all over your suit when you try to get out of it.

What would Neil Armstrong do?

Anyway, this is kind of pointless, because I don't think we should go to Luna or Mars. I think we should go to Luna, Mars, Venus, and Mercury as quickly as possible.

Why Venus? Its high temperature, acidic atmosphere, and atmospheric pressure render it uninhabitable without a dome, and make the creation and maintenance of such a dome difficult. I can see Mercury, given its closeness to Sol and the resultant increase in the efficiency of solar plants, but aside from trying to "spread out" the human population, why?

Finally, keep in mind that we probably can't and certainly won't do all that at the same time. Luna is a good place to start, which is why the Apollo program landed on the Moon first, not Venus, Mars, Mercury, or all at once.

And, not to be condescending (a sure sign that I'm about to fail), but...50 kilometers is some really tall stilts.

Head East, of course.

I'd call that "not much."

What kinds of differences are there, practically, between a scimitar, a katana, and a gladius (for instance) IRL?
