Seeing another Reddit thread about 4E and dusting off this bad boy

My apologies if I came up as condescending or rude, I just get excited when there's ArM talk over here. I will shut up now 😅

My disagreement would be that Ars *is* set in that period, because the 1220 date is arbitrary, and even if the story seeds in books are centered about events in that period, you are expected and encouraged to run the game in whatever other period you want. The core book tells you as much.

Hermetic and Historic backgrounds are kept well separated in all of the Tribunal (source) books. On the former, you don't need much adjustment. On the latter, you just research a bit on the period you need, which would of course be mentioned, albeit not expanded in detail.

You can play Ars Magica at virtually any period between 767 and the Reinassance. Just because the default starting point for 5th is at 1220 doesn't mean you can't play wherever you want within the medieval paradigm :D

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

the neopets ttrpg kickstarter is going great

The problem with Apocalyptic Demon Threat narratives is that it's easy to use it as justification for fascism and twist morally grey complexity into black-and-white absolutism. If after Rogue Trader chaos was never added, the whole vibe of the story would be different, and probably more interesting.

this is the apotheosis of individualist, consumerist philosophy. The only legitimate activities available to the free citizen are 1) purchase product, 2) leave negative review. All conceptions of freedom and its limitations are based on that.

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

¿Cómo no vamos a dar la residencia a personas que viven y trabajan junto a nosotros? No es que me parezca bien, es que es lo mínimo.
Lo de habérsela regalado a tantos millonarios que vienen aquí a especular con nuestras viviendas, ya me parece más debatible.

Me fascinará siempre la facilidad que tiene la comunidad rolera española de meterse con cobrar por dirigir rol. Además con los mismos argumentos infantilizantes de siempre. A ver si aprendemos algo de los USAínos, que para algo que hacen bien...

Common, Recalled, Obscure Landmark, Hidden, Secret reframed for character knowledge.

What if I change Landmark, Hidden, Secret to use for character knowledge? idk!

The success of Baldur’s Gate 3 partially lays in the hands of critics, reviewers, content creators, and other folks who created the world’s most friendly cultural on-ramp for a vast public to engage with a fiddly, weird, mechanically hostile game. Have a little humility.

Pues ahí va

look, I will be the first person to openly admit that I have had and do have critiques of Rascal News. but I think it's really weird that at this point multiple people are going after Rascal without even naming them bc they are in their feelings about the Possum Creek/Steve Jackson Games article.

"it's about ethics in game journalism" thread dancing around what the article was about (a rich friend refusing to pay the queer artists and writers who made the actual game)

What's the matter vagueboy, afraid you might say something?

listen man: I have a single guiding principle for being on social media and that is to never vaguepost. Live and die by the sword of your opinions or shut the fuck up. To the extent social media is a community (barely, it sucks), I think this sorta soft indirect IYKYK shit is so insidious.

Sweet, thank you!

Apropos of this, I will soon be able to afford splurging into PDFs/books I've been wanting to get, and I wanted to ask you where can I buy Zephyr/Nibiru to get *you* the biggest cut? Itch? Another marketplace? With physical releases, which combo is better for you? I just want to read your stuff.
