Also a bit hesitant to say I really know it but have experience. Mostly managing Android devices.

I have people hunting for solutions that allow large meetings currently. North of the commonly available 150-300 attendees range that I see on most products.

Anyone have suggestions for that?

Carmen on metopera.org. They have started a series of free opera streams. First up is one of my favorites of all time.

I need to get on watching some of those streams. Missed Carmen sadly.

Some people at my company are looking for a new solution to map sales territories and service areas.

So far they are apparently looking at this. Strikes me as a bit amateur hour with mediocre to bad advice and FUD nonsense in the ad copy.

Anyone have suggestions for software to handle this sort of thing?

tactical wargame mechanics of DnD 4e (or so I've been told)

Yeah, they pretty much ripped it die roll for die roll from 4e from the people I've talked to.

The combat system was the thing I (and most gamers) hated the most about 4e.

This was quite a bit of fun. I'm not a minis and hexes gamer typically so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I think it made a huge difference with how the mechanics of the various mechs worked out. It is a very tightly designed game. No one felt over powered compared to the rest, we ended up winning both scenarios, but it was by very narrow margins.

I've heard good things about Lancer to be honest. I'd like to try it at some point. I think the mechanics need to fit the setting and they do a much better job in this instance.

Mechanics need to fit intent. I have a hard time believing that the 4e need for pre-configuring grid based battles can be reconciled reasonably with any sort of decent narrative experience.

Curious how they try to handle the core rules being inherently incompatible with one of their stated goals.

It takes some work to wrap your mind around if you're more used to narrative systems. We played a quick encounter that was just mechs on a hex grid so that we could learn the mechanics and figure out how the rules worked. Once we got done we sat back and looked at each other and said "That was great, but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around how this connects with narrative." It took some time to get that sorted in our own heads, but it was doable. I found that once I had fully fleshed out my pilot that I was able to integrate the narrative into the tactical system. I think it just takes the right group of players.

Maybe 4e was the wrong comparison. I haven't played it, so I can't make an accurate comparison.

Eh, when narrative gets dropped in the description of an RPG I have a tendency to go straight into gamist, simulationist, narrativist analysis mode(which is probably considered outdated at this point anyway). They may not mean what I'm thinking when I see that.

Anyway, I had fun playing 4e once I got over it not being what I expected from previous iterations of D&D. I suspect there's some good juice to be wrung from a game using a similar system to run giant robot fights.

If it's a fully shared (controlled by all) calendar, I would choose Can edit.

That does not answer the question

It is a normal user, the admin account. That went to their calendar and clicked new calendar. They then shared it as shown.

Then I don't understand the question - I said - choose "Can edit" that's one of the choices you showed as an option.

WTF does "Can Edit" mean? Is it actually the most open access? I have no idea.

It's all hidden from the GUI now as far as I know but higher access levels still exist. The only thing I've actually run into people trying to use that requires it is messing with categories.

You have to be a Publishing Editor or Owner to work with them.

I usually end up assigning those for users using PowerShell when the need arises.

A whole lot of Root just arrived. Can’t wait to get some games going!

Downloaded Witcher 3 yesterday.

I'm still trying to get back into Witcher 1 and finish it, lol.

I still need to do that, too.

I played Witcher 1 when it was new and sort of recalled it being at least a decent game. Tried replaying 1 and playing 2 when I picked up 3 as I got them in bundle form.

Could. Not. Do. It.

After butting my head against mediocre to bad writing and awkward game play, I skipped to 3. I really enjoyed Witcher 3 and may play again. Certainly if they do another, I'll give it a go, but I will not be attempting the older titles again.

Lots of Remnant: From the Ashes recently.
