It's funny as hell to play a character who smokes, drinks, or does drugs, because I'm a good little NB and have zero to extremely little experience with any of these, so every time my character's habits come up, I mentally feel like I'm going "hmm yes, one alcohol, please" the entire time. #ttrpg

Last session I did that thing where the GM asks the players to describe the scene, or what they find while searching and such. The response was laughs, complaints, confusion, and "you're the GM! Not me!" It's nice to get my beliefs verified, this is exactly what I thought would happen. #ttrpg

Realizing how funny it will be to run Deep Carbon Observatory when a good chunk of the module has waist high water, and a good chunk of the party are shorter than that. #TTRPG Has anyone else ran it before? How did it go? What are your thoughts on it? What should I look out for as the GM?

asmr where i walk you through character creation in a ttrpg you've never played before and i keep telling you your ideas are really interesting but you character is going to be nonviable and your fellow party members might hate you for it

Friday is a special day in Norwegian society. It's the boundry between snart helg and helg. Usually we cross it around 16:00-17:00. But for some unlucky people, it's never helg.

We got someone in the server falsely reporting a bunch of people, and I got dinged, so now I have to communicate with people like a ghost writing on the bathroom mirror.

A message has been sent by the other person, and it's just a tiger emoji.

The people in my FFXIV FC are getting antsy about playing ttrpgs again. I ran Broodmother Skyfortress for them last time, and they managed to take over the skyfortress, mostly by severely damaging everything (including themselves) with fall damage. I'm thinking Deep Carbon Observatory next.

hey thanks for screenshotting that person's hateful/bigoted/upsetting tweet and posting it here. i actually muted that person by accident on the other site who's URL i also forgot, and i intentionally make my life worse by keeping up to date on their thoughts so i appreciate you sharing it here

The group has been playing around with social combat, where we use different moves to attack willpower so we can get what we want by talking. This sucks ass, we've spent an hour on this, conversation is stilted and flows like toothpaste, this should have been two rolls max. #vtm #ttrpg

People trying to explain to me why dice towers are useful actually, while I weld their iron sarcophagus shut and with the help of three volunteering strongmen push it off of the boat into the depths of the north sea.

"And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human." - Count Zero (William Gibson, 1986)

Was at the dentist, fixing a hole in my tooth. Dentist has the radio on a music channel the whole time. He sets things up, vacuum in my mouth, gets the drill ready. I open wide. Song changes. I start getting my teeth drilled to fucking Eye of the Tiger, and it's the scariest experience of my life.

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

Cleared P8S unsynched yesterday, which raiders probably won't be impressed by, but I am dogshit at anything higher than Normal and can barely do extremes from two years ago. The people from my FC were so nice and patient with me even though I felt like I was messing up the whole time. #ffxiv
