Here's how a band of unlikely heroes defeated Vecna and save the Forgotten Realm
My team seized this strip of land, under the guise of establishing a “humanitarian corridor”
We also brought in Russian doctors and journalists, to increase the number of civilian casualties if NATO hit back.
Most subtle NYT war crime apologia
How do people keep reading shit like this and not have even a moment if self reflection.
Honestly, I ended up in one way discussion on db0 yesterday regarding the Ukraine war, and it was withering...
Please don't call everything D&D. They don't deserve that much space in your mind palace that you would call all make believe D&D.
Then we opened a dialogue with the White House, insisting that Russian soldiers would be immediately withdrawn once the Europeans accommodated our demands. Chief among them were a rollback of NATO military infrastructure in Europe and nonexpansion of the alliance — pretty much what Mr. Putin demanded before invading Ukraine. Our position was simple: Give us what we want, or prepare for another war that could go nuclear.
God damn I hate these people.
I played this game as a NYT oped writer and summarily executed an entire kindergarten class, here’s why everyone at the NYT needs to be locked up
My Putin was a master of seduction with a very deadly velociraptor animal companion. That is what's coming.
It would be way less embarrassing if they actually played DnD
I misunderstood the headline and thought that this guy played against Putin in a game in the past and that supposedly gave him insights into Putin's mind. But no, the German military made up a war game and in the game they made up, Russia was scary and NATO needed to be more prepared and strengthened to win.
I got to do one of these things at GenCon. Our scenario was Putin suddenly dies of cancer. The guys running it got mad that the Communists took over. They were the only ones promising to expand military funding so we did a coup and nobody could stop us.
I love when they discover something that's been around since the 1950s. Wargaming got big when Tom Clancy played a lot of Harpoon and discovered how the G-I-UK gap was going to be huge in any Hot Cold War scenario.
He wrote a whole novel about it, Red Storm Rising.
unfilmable so they did Hunt for Red October instead.
Guy playing Hearts of Iron at work. "No boss, I wasn't playing video games on company time, I swear! I was...doing research for my next article! Yeah, that's what I'm doing!"
I played Khorne Warriors in a Warhammer Fantasy game. The most skulls for the skull throne may be coming.
Writing an article that came to me in a dream and immediately getting a NYT book deal
Ok, but wargaming has been a part of military strategy for ages?
The US did one called Millennium Challenge which simulated war with Iran in the Persian Gulf, and the US could only win, if they rigged the game entirely in the US' favor.
Fast forward 20 some years, and we see how instructive that wargame ended up being...
Fuck the NYT though, they can suck my girl cock fr
This podcast is dumb, I saw it once. Wearing stupid hats and dumb accents. Besides WOTC came out with their own official campaign.
Yesterday I was double screening and I saw the headline in a Bluesky post. I thought it was a joke at first until I realized the fucking NYT had posted it itself.
