I see your point about excessive metagaming and judging a fight ahead of time, and counter with the first scene in this clip:

In the Actual Plays I've seen, hero tokens seem mostly used as backup Recoveries. It seems fairly common that someone (often a Fury) wades into combat and takes a lot of damage in order to also deal a lot of damage – partially because of reckless behavior in getting into good positions, and...

I wouldn't go that far, but I think we differ in degree mostly. Theorycrafting is analysis, but it's the beginning of it and not the whole of it. For many cases, you don't need to go into much depth, e.g. when determining how much to power attack in 3e or 3.5e.

When learning physics, it is common to have problems where you make various simplifying assumptions about the thing you're trying to calculate, such as approximating whatever you're trying to calculate as a point rather than whatever its actual shape and volume is, or ignoring air...

Right now, primarily Draw Steel, which it looks like I'll be running either toward the end of January or early February. I'm also liking the Savage Worlds/East Texas University campaign I already have going but Draw Steel has the new game shine on it.

That's a nice round number.

(Weirdly enough, the version of this gif that's available within the board itself seems to be censored and stops before the blood.)

Unfortunately, it appears that since Sandy produced his seminal work on Lovecraft's racism, he hasn't exactly showered himself in glory:

My understanding is: As soon as you realize you're listening to Last Christmas by Wham, you're out. Covers don't count. So logic clearly dictates that if you think you're hearing the song, you might as well listen some more just in case it turns out to be a cover, like this version by...

Alice? Alice? Who the bleep is Alice?

They opened up the Patreon post where they're providing a synopsis of Crack the Sun (more detailed in early parts) and it seems very ambitious and incredibly bonkers.

In the earliest days, magic items were pretty much ad-hoc. I think there were some examples in the core book but not many. With the release of the Expert rules, magic item creation became codified and highly connected to actual spells. Basically, creating items was based on three spells/rituals...

It is only a Christmas song in the same way Die Hard is a Christmas movie: it takes place on/near Christmas, but it's not about Christmas.

Well, in that case, consider yourself one of today's lucky 10,000.

Jesus to a Child is one of the most beautiful and heart-rending pieces of modern (well, not all that modern anymore) music made.

Yeah, PF2 is very conservative with forced movement. The basic ability is Shove, which is an Athletics skill vs Fortitude defense, and you push the target 5' on a success (or 10' on a crit). Pushing someone farther than that is a level 12 feat, and spells generally have a similar scale on any...
