    Since the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General and the abbreviations thereof are AG and AGs. It follows that MILF should be MILFs.

    I Just want to be Single is a very silly premise for a game. It seems like it was overly ambitious and the kickstarter money has run out.

    If you're not itching to start right away, the previous FFF said that 2.1 should come out by the end of June.

    I don't know of a Tildes server, but I'd be up for joining one if there is.

    EDIT: I didn't see any threads mentioning one after a quick search. If anyone wants to start one, send me an invite

    It's the same theory as having multiple intelligence agencies. If they have overlapping domains, you can use them to verify each other and make sure none of them are plotting against you. EDIT:...

    I don't think that's good enough. Contributing to the potter-verse's cultural cachet is still causing a problem. It's time to let the IP die and Rowling's cultural significance with it.

    The immediate change in behavior and loss of control under hypnosis is seriously creepy. Especially since the main character thinks its her own idea. Then we get large chunks of time missing (especially important chunks of time), which is also unsettling. Independent of that, you have the societal changes of this kind of test becoming commonplace, which are unsettling in their own right.

    Not disagreeing about their difficulties with counting, but this isn't Steam Machine 2. This is Steam Machine Reboot. So there should be at least one more after this.

    The name of the game you're looking for is a "Duet Game". D&D probably isn't the best system since it assumes a 4+ person party in the action economy for combat and a wide distribution of skill options out of combat. If you do decide to go with D&D consider having your player make a gestalt character to make sure that they have enough versatility
