"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
I threw out my back really bad today and needed to lay down and my cat came to the rescue to comfort me. Tried to get a cute photo of her and…

There’s no such thing as a “TTRPG for kids”, not really. Most people playing CoD were 8 years old. Your product is a “TTRPG you are comfortable running for your kids to avoid explaining the questionable ethics of genocide”
I've got something in my brain about #ttrpg players and parasocial relationships, but I'm not in the right headspace. We've all witnessed the rise in a parasocial relationship with D&D5e alone, buoyed by Critical Role and a few key others. But that pales in the shadow of Vampire: The Masquerade.

Everything in life that has material value is worthless, even you. It is how you exploit that resource that gives it value. The slave has value because it can be traded if you don't need it's labor. You as an unemployed person have no value. But you are not free of the model of exploitation = value
