The other day, my 4-year-old and I were watching the first episode of Thundercats. At the end, they did that thing where everyone just starts laughing. Even my kid found it awkward "Dadda, why are they all laughing?" "Eh... it was the 80s."

“You don’t look 47.” “It’s all the virgin blood.” “…” “I’m just kidding! It’s not good to over-fetishize that. ANY human blood will do.” “…” “Drink responsibly!”
My 4-year-old loves the Masters of the Universe movie. He’s running around the apartment shouting , “By the power of Grayskull… I AM HERE!!!”

There's a bunch of this in World of Darkness, too, which you can see adjust over editions (esp. Vampire). Early editions proposed "You're a vampire; now what?" while later editions had to take into account years of supplements that made clans more gameplay archetypes and less societal factions.
The RPG Gazette@therpggazette.bsky.social · last wk.When did a D&D character stop being a character and become a build? From AD&D kits to 3e optimization, 4e’s Character Builder, subclasses, and 2024’s Origin feats, this article traces how fifty years of design gradually moved character identity from the fiction to the character sheet. #DnD #OSR
When my 4-year-old expressed interest in D&D. #DnD #ttrpg #parenting
