So as the newest edition of the year is about to roll-out, what are your RPG plans ? Play more ? Less ? Try another game ? Finish a long campaign ?

    Unrelated question but for my culture

    Set in the near future, it centers on junior high (middle) school-teacher

    Is the Junior-High / Middle difference a regional split ? Or a administrative/legal jargon versus everyday’s dialect ? thing ?

      @Ziggurat @phase @rpg “Junior high” is a school with US grades 7-9. “Middle school” is a school with US grades 6-8. School grade divisions have changed over the last 30 years in the US due to population changes mostly. Middle School is the more recent division of grades. Some schools are even going to an “international jr/sr high school” format of US grades 7-12 which is more akin to gymnasiums, “high schools”, in Austria and Germany.

      Project Hail Mary? The hero is a former researcher and a junior/middle school teacher. It is used in the fiction as an excuse to make science understandable. I understand this level of science so I am biased but I think it is good enough.
