I play in 2 games and run 1. As a player I play both characters who share my gender and one that doesn't. At the table I run there's a guy who plays a woman, and used to be another.

It's never caused issues or confusion. So for anyone interested in playing like this, feel free to do so! For pronouns I've also found success in referring to characters instead of players with names unless explicitly talking to the player, but that's easier as a GM.

I don't relate with masculine characters at all. No idea why as I don't identify as a woman. I have very little association or ownership of my gender.

Also character creators traditionally don't have a ton of options beyond the binary. Hair, pronoun options tend to be most of the extent.

Also feminine bodies tend to be more interesting. More curves and interesting shapes while a lot of masculine bodies are rendered as blocky.

Didn't we use things like irc in the past?

Agreed. I wouldn't expect a Democrat to do it. But he could just float the idea in public and that should scare Republicans enough to push it through the SCOTUS that the president isn't immune to prosecution

If this happens, Biden should just go: "Ok, I'm president for life now until someone overturns this."

Republicans will break their necks getting that decision they want now undone.

Most travelers won't want to learn a new rail system. They'll probably just get a cab at the stand.

Tbf Berlin is likely to be the largest one, right?

Tbf that was the One Ring and IT wanted to be found. The rings referenced above were not semi sentient like the One Ring was. They merely amplified the powers and desires of their races.

Elven rings allowed them to preserve their forests and increased their isolationism. Dwarven rings increased their ability to acquire and desires for money. Human rings gave them increased powers to rule over men.

America still operates mostly as a democracy. Excepting a few notable cases elections matter. That's why we had an insurrection: the fascist lost and got angry.

You can argue it's really controlled by special interests but it's still a democracy. Russia doesn't have real elections AND it's controlled by the oligarchs.

Did hobbits exist then? Even if they did, they aren't the type of people to want a ring of power. At best it'd make their pumpkins grow huge and they're feet extra hairy.

Yeah. I was pretty sure the dude in the big hat that was they only direct link to God was infallible.
