Orbitals:

A ring many hundreds of thousands of kilometers in diameter, constructed from non-planetoid material available in a system. Maybe only make it able to be constructed in systems with mineral mining points available. When built, it removes those mining points from play. Only non-mineral-extraction buildings can be built on it. Have a repeatable research target that increases the potential size of a constructed orbital. For every mineral resource removed from play, the orbital gains 3 tiles and costs 3 energy to maintain.

General Systems Vehicles:

Like an orbital, but is more limited in tile space. Can travel between systems. Can upgrade itself. Can build ships. Orbital constructio

I'm looking to either join an existing Numenera campaign, or start a small one of my own. I've never GM'd before, so starting off may be a little rough (be gentle).

A little out of practice, as I haven't played a proper P&P game in over ten years. The last ones that caught my fancy were 7th Sea and Deadlands.

As I was planning on GMing, I've read through the core book, but if joining an existing campaign I'll keep spoilers out :)

So, I ... mostly ... survived my first invasion. That was FUN!

Now I have five caged goblins, though. I built a room like described in the wiki - http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Mass_pitting

The part I'm stuck with is the whole 'assign them to the pit' part ...

Because none of my prisoners (despite their cages being in the stockpile) are available to assign. Only the animals I've had pastured are (and a rooster that got hauled to the pit too, but I figure it'll be fun to see if the gobbies splatter it).

How do I make my caged prisoners available to be assigned to the pit?

My little bazmonster is great in almost every way: except when he steals something and I need to get it away from him (for safety, etc).

For example, stealing one of my notebooks and ripping it up. Or stealing a TP roll and ripping it up. Or stealing a pair of my pants and just gnawing on it til it's soaked. If I try to get near him in this situations, he lip-curls and growls.

The problem is, most of what I've read about training for this says to take a low value item and have them hold on to it to teach drop it, trading the item for a treat.

If he knows I have treats, he won't even pay attention to the item. I've tried with pieces of paper, socks, worn underwear, just about everything th

After a fiasco with my old apartment, I had to get rid of most of my furniture. Almost a complete clean slate, here, and I don't want to just run through an Ikea catalog!

Looking for modernish but comfortable. Tried the 'find your design style' link on the sidebar, but I'm still clueless :) I wear lots of selvedge denim, flat color t's, and chuck taylors, though ... and I've also included some of the art I have (the photograph is going in the bedroom, though). To give an additional sense of my style, I really dig this guy's art (and am getting a few pieces for my bathroom).

Budgeted ~$2.5k. Must have a an are

Hiya!

Little Basil is just coming up on six months old. He's doing pretty darn well at not pulling when we walk on-leash (except when he sees a flock of pigeons or a fire hydrant he really wants to sniff). But I've noticed three distinct 'modes' he can be in while on leash, usually dependent on which block we're on.

• Keeping pace beside me: usually if there's a fence on the left, he'll keep pace nicely with me (while sniffing all along the fence). Sometimes he'll stop short to smell at a reeeeallly interesting spot, but either a command ("let's go!") or for more interesting spots a lure + command will get him going again.
• Pulling towards a specific target (sniffing spot or flock of pi

When he misses his pad (not often, but it happens), I've got to clean it pretty quick otherwise it'll wick under and make an even bigger mess. If I spill something on the table, out comes a paper towel. If he's not barricaded in another section of the apartment, he'll go straight for it and play keep-away. If we're on a walk, he'll home in on them and won't drop it - and if we're on a walk, I don't know where that used paper towel is! So I end up prying it out of his mouth.

If he's barricaded in the kitchen behind a section of x-pen, and I'm cleaning up a piddle mess in the living room (the only two rooms currently puppy-proofed), he goes absolutely nuts. Excitement bark + whining and cryin

Hi r/brooklyn! I just brought home a little puppy. The first two weeks are really important for socialization, but its a catch 22 due to parvo prevalence. PetSmart doesn't verify vaccination status for their puppy playtimes, and Empire of the Dog is on break for the summer. Any suggestions in north Brooklyn?

Thanks!!
