The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

"Activity Series?”
That sounds like stuff like coloring books you give to kids to keep them quiet in the store while you shop.
I get that if something more broad spectrum then just a scenario/campaign (like including modeling and painting) they might want a more general term. But I’m not getting a good feeling from the one they picked.
High hopes though. Even with the first step on the road to disappointment thing...

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

I once read a statistic that there are more paved roads in the state of Vermont than in the entire nation of Canada. Just your fun fact of the day.
