Been playing 5e and Pathfinder, two separate groups there. Homebrew 5e campaign, and RotRL, an official Paizo adventure.

Also playing Ironsworn, a solo/co-op grimdark game. Been playing with the DM of my 5e group, it's fantastic.

Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That's when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.

You're definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it...

But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.

If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It's all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It's some 10 hours of solid work!

Ah yes, I too value the mastery of the Thu'um in my partner.

Yes! I love my work, even though most people hate retail. I'm in a grocery store deli, and getting people food they like and them coming back saying I offered good recommendations just makes my day!

I'm the manager, and even I still struggle a bit with money at times, all the while trying to save for a house. Not easy out here, but certainly wouldn't want to stop working.

Ah, so even the "landed gentry" made the migration... /s

I don't delve much into post apocalypse settings, but a good write up nonetheless. Might cut that last part out about gender utilization though, as it seems vaguely unnecessary for the topic and a bit reductionist. That socioeconomic sphere has a lot of historical and religious factors that don't fit what you're posting, at least in my opinion.

The rest is certainly a solid framework of thought, thanks for posting!

The closest thing to this topic in my setting is the remnants of an empire that was killed off by a necromantic ritual, killing everyone within any built settlement (the necromancer "poisoned" the stones of the empire, so anyone living in a city built with masonry was affected).

The rutlral populations left now have to contend with roving hordes of the undead, limiting their ability to band together and rebuild. A religious movement (as you mentioned) also stalled the progress of redevelopment. They are now being overtaken by an industrial republic from across the ocean, and though put up quite the fight in pockets, are unable to stall the republic's progress.

While your numbers, if factual (no source posted), are statistically correct (in that it won't make our species go extinct), you have to remember a simple fact: those numbers represent individual human lives. Family, friends, neighbors, your pizza guy, etc. Pretty brutal to be so flippant about.

Also, this doesn't take into account the potential for cascading environmental system failures that could be caused by such warming. These unknowns could greatly change the equation.

I realize you are mainly arguing the point in response to "existential threats" being bandied about, but it's a weird stance to take here.

Honest truth, you go around actually paying a network for their services and everyone loses their minds. There's a Nolan Batman GIF somewhere here...

Fair enough, I just don't have a frame of easy reference for standard, as it seems many don't for imperial.

Fahrenheit, as opposed to Celsius. Pretty mild day, 26 C for those across the pond.
