  • Couldnt find the link I wanted, but this article expresses the murdoch / state explanation of unemployment and inflation

  • Unemployment remains at 5% in Australia because it provides a competative job market for companies. This, in turn, increases domestic and international investment in australian companies. It could be argued unemployment helps the society under capitalism



  • I enjoy the story telling elements far more than the rules of the system. As such Ive been running campaigns in the 40k universe using a rules light combination system of Dark Heresy, Burning Wheel, and 5e. You may have up to 5 skills that your character may focus on and 1/3 of the character sheet is dedicated to character development. Players have many oportunities to decide what happens; leading to derailment, the best part of any campaign. Played with 2d6 with advantage, normal, or disadvantage if you are trained / probably knows a little about the skill / if you have no reason to think your character has any ability in the skill.

    With that in mind, it is a good system to combine with drinks.

    I actually put effort into a dungeon once, with a corrupting Nurgle gem at the centre. Comming on the very first trap a player rolles perception, succeeds with doubles (meaning they choose the outcome). "There is something wrong with the floor what do you see?" "Uhh, it's sandy and very salty, nothing can grow in it". So that's how a nurgle cult dungeon turned into an old inquisition holding facility with a number of anti-biological mechanisms to prevent the nurgle gem from corrupting anything living. Of course, previously, everything the villagers said about the area convinced the players it was a cult so they destroyed the one place on the planet which could hold a gem of evil.

    Another time, a few drinks in, they created an npc ad mech which needed to be spat on because its cooling systems were broken and would answer "thank you master" each time it received spit.

    A player orientated system has some upsides and downsides. Though never boring
