"Written after the end of WWI, which upended the globe, but set in 1901 in a provincial town where nothing, nothing, nothing at all can change, this enchanting, witty, shattering, profoundly compassionate fable-like short novel seems to contain all the world’s pain in an iridescent soap-bubble."

@Smashbomb unfortunately, I am done and am not wasting my time any more adding or reviewing any items as there have been no notifications, kudos or anything for some considerable time. Shame but I will come back if things change.

Bye for now xx

I adore this game, roll the dice then change them. Create a character.
So this game is really about efficiency. Take the rolls. Change them using your powers. Make your priorities and later maybe change them. I love the negative traights turned positive. Don’t need intelligence? Go after the foolish traight. Also are you a sociopath. Don’t be too good then. Or if you are a Hermit. Stay in the middle. I love this aspect as well. You make the dice fit your starting situation. Even your race; orc, dragon, human, elf makes a difference. So much to pay attention to. You’ll probably miss something and catch it halfway through. Laugh at yourself and figure it out. I love that it’s not over until the last die is placed. You can always tweak it. Plus. I’ve met the designer who is a nice guy. Which doesn’t surprise me. But does make me like it slightly more. I always want to celebrate great people in the world.

My last play: Dragonkin Sociopathic Ranger who is Dedicated, Devoted, Foolish, Honest, & Envious.

That even plays into some story telling aspects. Which a fun way to think about the game afterward. Tell a story about your charectures.

There’s an expansion for it. But I haven’t tried it yet.

I’ve only played this once but I liked it a lot. Like segrada but more to it.

Absolutely! It is very similar to Segrada but Roll Player has what that game is missing with the market element and the ability to play to different strategies.

The technology in most episodes seems like something that could happen in the future (2 more)
Some episodes are truly terrifying and make you think about how much technology can/has/will change and how it can sometimes go really, really wrong
Still some humor thrown in to balance out the scary/crazy

PC version if you click on "Follow" on your main newsfeed the icon does not change to "Unfollow" so I don't know if it worked until I click on the person's name to bring up their profile. Then it says "unfollow".

Not sure if I am explaining this well enough.

A complete change for Thor in both outfit and personality which was a bold move that pays off handsomely as the movie is hilarious and engaging and has a different feel.
Goldblum' s character is quirky but he is always good to see no matter the movie. A must see film.

This book was really different in a way of a Romance book. You some what learn to keep faith along with hope. Some things really happen once tragically happen to one particular family. Things begin to change though out the book. Doe god start to heal their hearts and wounds?

A great thriller, very subtle with an impressive cast. Glad I got round to watching this at last. A very good story about a guy who purely by chance has the opportunity to change his life but with big consequences. Proves Matt Damon can do a lot more than just action.

I feel like I learned a lot from this book. It opened my mind to change and how to treat myself differently. By focusing on my spirit, I could open myself to my most intimate self over time. It is because of this that I give this book all five stars.
