Mate. I just want to sit down at a table and play a roleplaying game. Why is it so hard as an adult? It was so easy when I was young. Just get the gang together and bang out some games. But these days it's like planning the invasion of fortress Europe, I mean, what the fuck

The best TTRPG GMs *interpret* the characters as rich texts & agents in of themselves, and then offer NPCs, lore, and fraught situations that play on characters' core themes & traits. GMs are consantly reading both the characters-as-conceived and also the characters-as-played.

A friend asked me what makes a good GM. It’s a personal question as difficult to answer as “what makes good art?” I don’t have the definitive answer, but I do have an answer. A good GM invests in the characters and shows how their actions change the world, e.g @juddthelibrarian.bsky.social

Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.

El PP pide a sus cargos y diputados apoyar públicamente a Ayuso en plena crisis por la compra del ático: “Os pedimos colaboración para compartir y poner comentarios positivos. Mucha gente nos lee y estaría bien dar ejemplo y tirar del carro de los mensajes de apoyo a la gestión de la Presidenta”.

GM Tip: Players often want to make highly competent characters and don't think to put conflict into their backstories. But conflict is great for making good stories! Ask the players to come up with at least one messy part of their past that can be mined for ideas in the campaign. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg
