Rise Up Comus@riseupcomus.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Every year, I reread the LotR trilogy. This last year's reread amped me up and I started keying Middle-earth 12 miles at a time Concurrently, without meaning to, I wrote a game to run the hexcrawl I call it Lore - a Lord of the Rings Adventure Game retroclone Here's what I think is fun about it🧵

They should make an rpg subreddit that doesn't hate the people making them lol

Minor updates to Rule 7 regarding self-promotion The r/rpg mods have made a few minor changes to Rule 7 to tighten up some loopholes and clarify some questions that we get asked regularly in modmail. These changes should result in absolutely zero impact to our regular users. The changes simply document common things that we are seeing in the queues and modmail and will allow us to moderate more effectively without having to explain the same things over and over in modmail. We have not changed the definition of an active user, or what is needed to post promotion. There are some minor grammar changes for clarity, and a few sentences were rearranged. The following are the non-trivial changes that were made: OLD: Affiliate links must be clearly disclosed or they will be removed NEW: Affiliate links and other profit-sharing schemes are not allowed. ADDED TO THE "WHAT IS SELF PROMOTION" LIST: Discussing "a game you are working on", with obvious intent to fish for questions or requests for details and links. Asking for features to include or feedback on a game, site, app, or tool that you are building And the most substantial change: OLD: "If you are using a newly created account and start immediately posting to other peoples' work, then you may be seen as a self-promoter in disguise." NEW: "If you are using a newly created or inactive account and start immediately posting promotion of other peoples' work, then you will be considered a self-promoter in disguise." This change is being made because we regularly get into modmail discussions with brand new or inactive accounts that promote a product to multiple subs, but claim "I'm not affiliated" when there is clearly promotion being made. We see enough obvious "stealth promo" that we are now assuming that promo from non-active accounts is self-promo. This doesn't change how we've been moderating these posts (we've been using this assumption for a while now), merely documenting the change. Thank you. The r/rpg mods

Non-RPG design that could inspire RPG design. 1. These could be NPCs, locations, magic items or powers. Presented in three-column with an image for each.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I unfortunately listen to a lot of call-in radio, and the average Canadian person believes the US will suddenly realize the error of their ways. Ain't like that. I don't know where else to put this - the orange man isn't *failing* to run a nation. He is *succeeding* at profiting himself and allies.

The coolest thing Games Workshop could do is actually uphold the No-Female-Space Marine rule but only because the Empire is officially fascist and misogynistic, not the company.
