Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

NASCAR might do those speeds fairly regularly for short bursts

I always mention this one, but The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

It's got Bruce Campbell in it (Army of darkness) And he plays a cowboy as the lead character where he goes on wacky steampunk-filled hijinks and adventures through the Old West.

it came out in the early 90s and you can watch it for free on tubiTV.

Fun fact, a lot of the old timey western movies used a particular set and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. was the last show to use that set.

When they finished it was torn down.

Another fun fact, you've heard the theme song.

It's now used in the Olympics when America plays.

It's a fucking amazing show.

Early on in their first game, my players suffered a T.P.K.

A squadron of horrible die rolls killed all three party members in their first battle.

I'm talking skeletons rolling nat 20s against level 3 characters who kept rolling twos and threes for the entire battle.

But they didn't die.

Instead, they awoke to find themselves in front of the BBEG who enslaved them with a cursed crest and then sent them out to scour the world for a specific list of objects where they were contractually bound to be released once they delivered them all.

This effectively let me railroad the campaign just enough to get the party started.

(This is what I would be saying if I had realized that I could do this immediately instead of staring slackjawed in disbelief as 30 minutes into a well-planned campaign, every single party member died and then accused me of being too hard of a GM and... yeah.)

One trick that helped me is that psychopaths tend to frame things in an either or, where the either is, you do what they want you to do, and the or is, you are a horrible person.

When you find that yourself in that situation, always pick the horrible person option.

What they think of you doesn't fucking matter.

Once they realize that they can't manipulate you, they'll get bored and move on.

I don't know, I think it might be the other one.

It costs you nothing to be a halfway decent person, even on the internet.

Did you have any symptoms?

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

You know?

You made me think about this for a minute and I think I figured it out.

Use the circle pin to draw the circle.

Then use the select tool to select the circle that you drew.

Then use the grow/shrink tool to shrink the selection by however many pixels thick you want the circle to be.

Then use the erase tool to erase all the parts of the circle that you don't want.

Easy peasy.

Thank you. I was afraid I was being a little too subtle.
