Planarian Games. Blame me for MUTANANNY, Clown Helsing, METTLE Core, WSBABSDTEDDCC, and others. He/Him. See my stuff: Itch: https://planarian.itch.io/ DrivethruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/10311/Planarian?affiliate_id=490690
If I put this shit in any of my games I would get pilloried for being too silly.

Weird to consider that the coming zombie plague that obsessed media like the walking dead and so many others is coming true via AI meat proxy behavior. No virus, fungus, or magic needed. Just good old fashioned intellectual abdication.

It's amazing to me that no one has made Vampires close to the ones in the Strain that swell up with blood like mosquitoes, but where the stored blood just gives them huge ass cheeks. Are there no deranged perverts on this site?
As someone who has spend two decades of my life trying to read all the RPG systems, as someone who has written systems, please, don't fucking bother, it's mostly nonsense. Read what you need, ignore the rest. The rules are never as important as the stuff you and your friends make up as you play.
It's the rules that you have to read all the rules, except for the rule that states explicitly states that you can add or discard any rules you wish. That is a _bad_ rule, as opposed to the others, which are _good_ rules.
Did you know that in just about every role playing game ever, you are free to decide what success and failure imply on a roll?

I get phone calls from companies that start "One a one to ten scale, how satisfied are you with your service from..." and I just interrupt and tell them I do not rate things from one to ten. I utter this absurd statement with religious finality and hang up. I wish other people would too.
It is troubling to think that despite all the political puffery about issues and such, all that really matters for elections is the price of gas.
Damn I am watching the Jack Smith hearing and these Republican senators are terrified of anyone finding out about what must be massively incriminating info on their phones. What on earth were they getting up to?
Apropos of current news, when one of my friends took the test to become a Resident Assistant (RA) at a dorm, there was a question that automatically fails you if you answer wrong. They ask if someone reports a rape, do you call the campus or the police? Guess which answer is wrong. Go ahead.
Watching Steel Ball Run, and I gotta say, why do we not do this? Why does America NOT have a steel ball run every year? Have we lost our balls?

Character sheet time. I'm gonna figure out if open office really does form fillable pdfs like they say. Down the rabbit hole I go!
These latest revisions contain my best ever revision note: "Changed calling the Calling Attribute back to calling it Concept. Call me superficial, but calling it Calling just grated on my nerves. So we went back to the original concept of calling it Concept." I am super proud of this. Shut up.

I'm loving all these people surprised at Trump ignoring a court order when those are basically the court saying "hey man, you can't do that! no fair!" and that is the end of it.
I'm back. I think I got a grip on things, keeping away from news and connected computers seriously helped. Also some very gestaltic ugly crying. Gotta turn in some work that's very late, and get back on the horse. Drew this at some point.
I just want to congratulate everyone posting self-righteous monologues on bluesky about how well they did telling off that guy they made up. Really gave them a whooping. That guy you made up will never do that again, for sure!

I read something a while back about how if you get in a fight and your pants fall down, you have lost that fight, no matter what else happened. Next game I run I am going to have a character's pants fall down at 0 HP instead of more lethal consequences. #ttrpg
So what I am getting is that the same press that sane-washed Trump for years, all for the sake of their precious "access" has lost their access anyway. Good luck with that 1st amendment suit now I suppose.
Now that my whole mini-golf section of my scenario is complete, I am proud of one thing. I didn't contrive any supernatural reasons that the players could not cheat. While it seems like there would be some prohibition, It is actually totally indifferent to that and they can engage with it or not.
The interesting thing about the mini golf scenario in BONED is striking the balance between how much to elide. Eliding nothing and making it narrative is where I start, but it felt a bit too wide open. Eliding everything down to just a roll and results felt pointless.
