I don't mind paying taxes.

I mind that I have to /do/ taxes because a bunch of companies lobbied to ban the IRS and financial institutions from just collating the data they already had on me and crunching the numbers.

And then some different ones managed to get themselves made gatekeepers to electronic filing.

@purplemontart this train fan is jealous. Green Car! Shinkansen!

My last train trip was Amtrak. Very decent. But no Shinkansen.

It's always useful to have a generic system in your back pocket, especially one that you can memorize in its entirety *and* that has some interesting mechanics.

Enter minimal d6: analogkonsole.wordpress.com/mi

Character creation: roll 1d6 for each core attribute that makes sense for your setting. Pick a class that gives you 2 skills, or choose 2 skills from a list.

Core mechanic: Roll 2d6 as a dice pool; 5 or 6 are successes. If you have an appropriate skill, roll 3d6; if at disadvantage, roll 1d6.

@Mainebot auto cow wreck. ugh TTY into Big Iron.

@Mainebot that's an awesome setup! Macintosh, and a ??? try into Big Iro (DEC??) using a TV as the monitor?

1985 me would have been amazed at the possibilities, and asked if the TTY machine had the Star Trek game on it :)
