(He/Him). Roleplaying stuff. Lefty. Thoroughly enjoyed 4e D&D. The Fog is one of the best horror movies ever made. Can't get enough Forged in the Dark and random indie #ttrpg. Also can't be making up a new profile at my time of life.
- Thirteen years ago my ability to present information peaked and it's been downhill since. This Lego-themed graphic was one of several introducing the Empire ritual rules. It mostly taught me that people really like pictures of Lego.
- #ttrpg pitch: you are defenceless fascists in a world where the Chaotic forces of wickedness - Libs, transgender folk, people who are neither white nor your particular brand if religion - are oppressing you with cruel words and harsh whistles. All you have to defend yourself are control of the 1/2
- Government and a breathtaking array of military weapons. Can you survive the tide of emotional damage, and weaponized weather, armed only with an absolute ton of guns? We play to find out! (I'm in two minds about this one tbh and more than a little worried it actually exists.)
- Rabbit post because I am too lazy not to.
- Onviousltly GM standing for "Game Master" in the #ttrpg space is problematic because it reinforces outdated power dynamics. So when I use it I mean it to mean "Goddam Muggins (here)". As in 'who preps the session? GM does!" (I think "Firefly" is my actual favourite title, mind. Don't tell anyone)
- Some cool stuff on this thread.
- I think my Epstein Number is 4 because a friend's dad played jazz once with someone who played jazz with Bill Clinton.
- When I start a show with attractive male/female leads I play a game where I guess how long it will be before they fuck. Experience teaches that "Will they won't they" is longnand for "they definitely will". Its 2026 and the TV watching world is still not ready for platonic male/female relationship.
- This is one reason I still find myself in plot dev meetings hopefully saying "or it could turn out these two historical characters were just friends who had a close professional working arrangement? Maybe?" I'm obviously mostly joking. Mostly.
- Cyberpunk 2013 was tte first "grown up" #ttrpg I played. Cheers, Mr Pondsmith.
- So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...
- ... Have you ever considered getting a podcast @stevecooke.org ?
- www.smbc-comics.com/comic/socrates @smbccomics.bsky.social nails it. I would like to see @theabigailthorn.bsky.social give a take not on what philosophers would think of modern society, but on what effect modern society would have on the works of the philosophers. Was Kant red-, or black-pilled?
- Has anyone done "Maslowe's Hierarchy of Weebs" yet?
