Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I love this article for what it suggests but I don't think I've ever applied its principles (or rules) in games I've ran.

I just clearly remembered the trick only Oberon could have pulled with the temporal loop artifact.

And the idea that the Pattern can choose its champions and bestow its advantages. But yeah, the environmental adaptation is pretty goofy... I wonder if the author ran out of ideas since we don't have the presumable canon proof of this happening...
Running:
Dungeon Crawl Classics (influences: Elric vs. Mythos, Darkest Dungeon, Castlevania).
DCC In Space!
Star Wars with homemade ruleset (Roll&Keep type system).

Devil's advocate: In a way, this doesn't seem very different from rebma's waterbreathing ability: In a way, everyone entering rebma gains this power temporarily, as if the Pattern itself used it for people. From that, I don't think it's much of a stretch to create the Adaptation power.
