For the RPG fans; non-gamers can skip this post

The setting: oWoD, Mage: The Ascension.

Imagine, if you will, a Horizon Realm such that everyone who enters it has an automatic extra dot of Mind while they're there. That is, if you're already a Mind mage with two dots, now you have three; if you're a mage with zero dots in Mind, now you have one; if you're Kindred/Garou/Fae (oh good grief...)/mortal/whatever, you also have one dot in Mind. (If you had no Arete score before, you have a temporary Arete of 1 that can only be used for Mind effects, and it disappears when you leave the Horizon Realm.) If you have a way to affect someone/something outside the Horizon Realm -- say, with appropriate Correspondence/Spirit magick, or a werewolf opening some kind of Umbral portal or whatever -- you can. (So, yes, you can sense the emotions of someone outside the Horizon Realm if you can get a lock on them, for whatever that means. Handwave it.)

What would that be like?

Your daily dose of awesome

I bet this could be used to create some pretty awesome illusions. (hat tip to tdj)

The Git community in general seems somewhat opposed to the idea of documentation. I mean, yes, there are man pages, but they're ... interestingly sparse, and I'm sort of surprised that github doesn't have a link to a tutorial prominently displayed on the site (somewhere after you sign up, at least).

It's oddly Zen, but in that sort of annoying way where you get hit on the head with a stick a whole bunch.
