I’d guess because for a lot of us in the USA, public transportation is insufficient to meet our needs. I’d love to take a train from home to work, but there’s no train line that’s anywhere near my house. They’re building one that’ll go near my work, but it’s not done yet. Busses are available, I suppose…but the time it’d take to get from home to work or back would be a lot longer than driving takes, even in heavy traffic, given that I’d have to transfer several times.

For longer trips, again, the infrastructure just isn’t there. To visit my sister, for instance, requires taking a bus if I want to take the public transportation option. My (step)son takes the bus to go see his dad (who lives in the same city as my sister) since he doesn’t like driving, and it takes a good 2 extra hours compared to driving. We should have train service, but no…Scott Fucking Walker killed the project back in 2010 when he got elected governor of Wisconsin.

I didn’t realize that the smoke was coming. When I got to work the skies were fine, but when I left it was quite a shock. Even my dogs, who normally can’t get enough of the outside, didn’t want to leave the house last night.

Sure. I’m pretty new at mixing and this set is from a few months back when I had even less skill and practice, but I like it. It was made for the latest r/classictrance competition, so it’s classic trance. Enjoy!

I’m a fan of AD&D 2e. It’s what was current when I started playing, and I’ve pored over those books with an intensity only a dorky teenager can muster. The last game I ran was a several-year-long 2e campaign. It’s the edition/system I know best, and running it is second nature to me. I typically run homebrewed settings, but I love the diversity of settings published for 2e: Planescape, Dark Sun, and the like really showed how far 2e could be pushed.

The only problem I have with 2e is that my wife did NOT enjoy the system. I’ll likely have to figure something else out when I run another game because given the choice between her and 2e, I’m going to go with my wife.

Yeah, rough him up a bit. Maybe hit his head on the car roof.
