Could that be Ash?

there is no nuance. Bill C-18 want you to pay to link to something. It's a piece of legislation written by an industry that can't figure out how it can work and instead want to be subsidized.

Facebook and Google have the power to stop linking to them. Because that linking IS driving trafic it WILL have an effect.

Two guys running a server will be next. Don't you worry.

Guilbeault spewed the same garbage when he was in that seat. Like bullet points from the industry that bought them out.

The word you are looking for is "telecartel".

the only turnmoil is the TPIA. When the wholesale rate (regulated by the CRTC) is higher than the retail rate....

But the corruption of our Government[1] is right in our face.

[1] it's corruption, not incompetent. Also it is pan-partisan. Whichever would be at the helm would be paid for by the telecartel.

I concur. It's terrible. Super terrible. And with the whole TPIA stone walling it's even worse.

Ah yeah that really suck.

Municipal network? Look at Toronto. CIty council wanted to create a network to service area where the cartel wouldn't service. The whole thing was vetoed by Rogers Director (member of the board) Mayor John Tory.

Just created a new crate and added proj, and then cargo build. And it works. proj-sys did build.

Star Wars D6 - For history most of the Star Wars canon pre episode 1 was created by WEG for this game. The D6 system is really suited for the Star Wars spirit, and was at the time one of the most approachable space opera RPG. I have run Star Wars FFG, which hold it well, and I think I still prefer the D6 system.

FATE, because this system really is flexible. I have homebrewed a couple of campaigns in two different genres.

When I was younger I ran RuneQuest because I found it better than AD&D. The Basic Role Playing system is a great system, RQ level of detail is quite the opposite of Call of Cthulhu. The combat is very crunchy and very lethal: it didn't abstract the defense with an Armor Class (THAC0 at the time), but rather you'd dodge / parry, the damage could be absorbed by the armor per location (you rolled it) and a crit would just ignore the armor. The initiative was based on the weapon (with a spear you hit before than with a dagger). Also what I like in the BRP (works in CoC) is the experience system. Use a skill, you learn from it.
