i was right in the sweet spot age for the HP books AND movies; i did the bookstore campouts, the midnight premieres, the cosplays, everything. i had a whole community and friends around it and my god it SUCKS to have lost it all. but we did!! it's gone!!!!! that's it!!!!!! this is not complicated!!!
This made me go oh shit we need a supers BITD game before remembering that exists and I ran it for like a year LMAO. It was an actual play too so uh...link below?
Got taken in by the idea of a Venture Bros. RPG so I came up with a fitting character (EMA level 3 I suppose?)
The modern change I want to see to Dark Sun is the sorcerer kings over reliance on Divination spells causing them to end up paranoid freaks locked in towers protected by their warlocks while slavery has all but ended because the people rose up.
while it is about many things, Dark Sun is kinda fundamentally *about* climate change. if the shiny new book isn't about climate change, it's not really Dark Sun, it's just DnD wearing it's skin like a suit.
Authentic OSR is from the Barrier Peaks region of france, otherwise it's just Sparkling Retro.
Why is every non crawler in DCC like, "Hello this is the name of my race, and this is the slur everyone calls us"
The thing about romantasy and smut is, I've read "I roved out in search of truth and love" and "Alfie" so there's really no excuse for being the writing being shit. Hell "Vice & Violence" is basically just porn and it's got better world building, plot, jokes, and prose than ACOTAR.
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
Me: I wish the die hard Harry Potter fan would read a book. Any other book. Monkey's paw curls Everyone: have you read dungeon Crawler Carl yet?
This summer, time is running out for a man, a cylinder, and the tube he got it stuck inside of.
Hollywood agencies are searching Reddit for short stories and ideas that could be turned into movies following the success of 'Backrooms' (via THR)
Applying for jobs and so far I have been asked to 1) pay money to finish submitting my application And 2) Download the app for the website that the application was hosted on as that's the only way they will be scheduling interviews So yeah, this world is beyond saving. Time to kill myself
Dungeon crawling but it's like, going into the Internet that's dead and full of bots and AI shit and it's to recover lost media in a world full of nothing but AI slop. Like I guess a Ready Player One, but good.
Calling D&D artistically hollow is, if anything, being exceedingly charitable towards it compared to other things you could say about it
The Imperial System of measures chart makes a kickass mega dungeon
Tomodachi life and Blaseball not sharing overlapping hype is a tragedy.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️⚧️❤️
Am I crazy or do people actually believe the Oscars mean something and they have to defend liking the things they like because a bunch of faceless out of touch old people didn't validate their feelings on Hollywood politics and art. Go find your local art house theater and support them.
Ttrpgs love to have a class called "the bastion" or "the bulwark"
Discovering Leslie Fish died is a weird bittersweet thing. Her music meant a lot to me, then I found out later in life she became a right wing nut job transphobe. Seen a lot of people say she's died twice now and I feel that's probably accurate.
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.
they've taken your demands for justice and abolition and turned it into a demand for more funding and a deeper integration into our society. Nobody in government is entertaining the idea of getting rid of ICE and anything you do to try and force them will be rerouted into more funds, more guns.
The thing is, it feels like calling does absolutely nothing. Call them and what? Complain to an intern while these fuckers are off doing god knows what? Just feels like more hollow "vote the bad shit away" rhetoric when what needs to be done can't be said.
There's like, maybe three ttrpg designers out there that don't set off my "something is fucky about you and I'm just waiting for.that show to drop" sense. Haven't been wrong yet, just seems to be a when not an If with most people.
