I don't think anyone thinks that, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that Christianity (especially evangelical) is highly correlated with one political party in the US, and it's spatially heterogeneous
Sea ice (most of the arctic) is VERY different to land ice (which is most of Antarctica). Check some sea ice maps and ice thickness maps to see the difference.
Also, the two hemispheres are not tightly coupled over short (decadal scales). The Arctic has been warming much faster than the Antarctic (so far).
Eh? I did a group theory (topology) course at Uni, I dont see how it's related? You'd need a categorisation system before you can do treat anything meaningful with groups, and there are hundreds of plausible orthogonal ways to divide up the space of all TTRPGs
At least some penguin species need sea ice to breed, and Antarctic sea ice extent has dropped off a cliff in the last decade (a starting in 2016) (source: went to a plenary about sea ice at the AMOS conference in Aus at the end of June)
I think what ever happens in Antarctica, it's likely to be complex...
Not in a meaningful timeframe, I think. Even if we get a worst case outcome (say +5°C by 2100, ongoing warming), permanent land ice in Antarctica will likely take many hundreds, or even thousands of years to melt entirely.
It's always going to have frozen winters with lots of snow, due to the long dark polar winter.. I guess some boreal tundra species could survive that, but farming is probably unlikely to be viable, I would guess.
I guess my aim in trying to (loosely) categorise game systems is that I would like to try a bunch of diverse systems, so that I can figure out which types I like. These categories help me map out the space of all existing games, which helps me find example games that also match themes I like.
I know I CBF with anything much crunchier than D&D, except maybe reading about it out of morbid curiosity. Fatal sounds horrendous 😂
But the answer might be highly culturally dependent, and also contingent on a tonne of extra context, so you're probably not going to get a reliable answer from the internet.
You could try asking him his intentions directly. Or telling him that you're not interested.
Thanks! Yeah, I know there's a million variations of each, but I guess if you've played one variation you at least get a bit of taste of the mechanics.
I forgot about dice pools, I've listened to a Dogs in the Vineyard podcast. I haven't come across the others yet.
You and everyone else.
