  • Awful little creatures. Usually kobolds or similar things. I enjoy playing morally bankrupt (or downright evil) but weak-willed characters, the sort who will be the first to suggest torturing the prisoner for information, or demanding ransom money for the dignitary we’ve just rescued, or whatever’s appropriate, but who will cave quickly under criticism from the rest of the group, begrudgingly going along with group consensus out of fear of being ostracized. Sometimes it results in a redemption arc, sometimes it results in slowly corrupting the rest of the party by convincing them over time how much easier my character’s methodology would make everything, and either is fun.

    This is basically a polar opposite to how I actually am, which I think is the most fun sort of character to roleplay.








  • The US has the Fair Access to Banking Act trying to do similar things, but it’s been stagnant for 2 years.

    This bill places restrictions on certain banks, credit unions, and payment card networks if they refuse to do business with a person who complies with the law. Restrictions include prohibiting the use of electronic funds transfer systems and lending programs, termination of an institution’s depository insurance, and specified civil penalties.

    Banks and other specified financial institutions are allowed to deny financial services to a person only if the denial is justified by a documented failure of that person to meet quantitative, impartial, risk-based standards established in advance by the institution. This justification may not be based upon reputational risks to the institution. Banks may also deny services to a person who engaged in rude or harassing conduct toward an employee of the bank.

    The bill establishes the right for a person to bring a civil action for a violation of this bill.










  • Obviously far too early to start planning something, but I think we should go with a collage of instantly recognizable furry gateway characters - Disney’s Robin Hood, Gadget Hackwrench, Nick Wilde / Judy Hopps, Lucario, Renamon, etc. - and prep the image a month or so in advance, then start posting it around a few furry subs to publicize it. If we can get any traction on the design ahead of time, it’d be easier to get people on board with making it.
