"Consistency issues can usually be fixed with wizards." Yes, the old "well...a wizard did it" DeusExMagic-User. Sooo useful for the DM, especially if you are the sort who keeps tweaking the map, and have players puzzled…
I mean that a school that started for the express purpose of training Puritan Congregationalist ministers, and had mandatory Protestant chapel until 1926, now has coed dormitories, an LGBT club, and Atheists at the…
Sorry, we will have only binary & atom-thick appraisals of historic figures in the US today. John Calhoun == Bad; Grace Hopper == Good. And that's all you need to know. The ones doing the renaming have no independent…
...who got his money from his parents and uncles. Moe Brown was also a quaker && robustly antislavery, but that did not stop him from bailing out his brothers during the war. Trying to extricate the triangle-trade money…
Brown as well. You really can't talk about the slave trade in colonial RI w/o mentioning John & Nick Brown. Of course, the brand names of these colleges are too valuable to dump.

Pretty Much Exactly That. Of course, you might want to go further, and ask why this hasn't happened. Why wouldn't some state or locality in the US demand that its teacher-training candidates have a BS in, say, nursing…
A few hours of work...on the first day of use. How many more hours of engrossing touchpad driver jiggerypokery will any person need to do over the course of ownership before the cost of their wasted time adds up to the…
This. This. THIS. Federally-backed student loans, undischargeable and given to all and sundry, to be spent wherever on whatever, is a gigantic short in the moral-hazard circuit. I would throw an actual party for any…
Kevin's side of the story has been told by him, by Littman in 'The Fugitive Game' and by Eric Corley. Any reasonably broad-minded person who wants to see the law deal evenhandedly with the accused can find places in…
