I've no clue how he's considered working class. His business's only customer is his mother's restaurants

I'm kind of tired of white guys jumping to be senators when they have never served Congress

Come on guys do at least a year in the House.

πŸ€” Why isn't he running for the House of Representatives?

Why endorse someone to a senior role without any legislative experience?

This makes no sense.

Random #TTRPG idea: the time war is already over. Who started it and when noone really knows. But the scars are everywhere. Places where time flows at different rates. Portals to pockets of looped time. People with holes in their memory. But it is assumed both sides cut each other out of time.

I do think it’s the players job, if you’re going to dungeons on the regular, to actually create and play people who do something as opposed to try to make everything as safe as humanly possible

My immersion gets broke when our game about advantureres is full of people who wouldn’t ever adventure

I saw someone talking about how much work you’d have to do to keep the β€œhouse of cards” of a ttrpg together if you’re creating through improv.

I think it’s easy to forget that ttrpgs don’t work like a tv show or book series. Unless you’re taping it, you’re not going back to check minor details

I have β…” of a bottle of wine that I opened last… πŸ€” week.

Is it cool if I bring that over?

What you need is a dice with binary operators on it.

β€’ addition
β€’ multiplication
β€’ subtraction

Then roll two more dice

This is how you justify playing role-playing games in math club.

Immersion is not as important as buy-in.

I'm growing tired of young adult novels, they're just a little too πŸ€”, simplistic?

Adrian Tchaikovsky, had challenged me while painting scenes that delighted.

#Audiobook review – Enclave by Ann Aguirre

As audiobook it's great, one point of view, not too many supporting cast. It's easy to listen to while doing something else

This is pure inspiration for my #ApocalypseWorld #TTRPG campaign

TTRPG Character Idea

Witch who cackles evilly and declares themselves the dark lord of all Creation and Unmaking, but all of their plans are just incredibly wholesome and helpful to everyone around them.

This is pretty much the path I want to lead PCs up when I run a horror TTRPG.

Feeling the need to create another #Mecha As cool as this guy

πŸ€” I bet I could render one of mine and then finish it to look like a sketch

Are you playing multiple RPG campaigns?

How do you not get lost?

I have enough trouble keeping one story straight.

I’m just barely old enough to remember when it was considered inappropriate for the President (a civilian) to salute the military at all.

Yet another way that Reagan paved the road to fascism.

What's your go-to tool for running #ttrpg sessions online?

Roll20? Foundry VTT? Theater of the mind via Discord? Something else?

And what made you choose it over the alternatives?

It's not really. The version of Christianity that has been pushed by empires is one that instructs you that suffering is virtuous because your suffering proves you're worthy of the promised afterlife.

There's a twisted sort of logic to this. But it isn't fun; it's petty revenge. Society, at the turn of the millennium, promised everyone both a better quality of life and a greater sense of purpose. When that promise was broken, a certain class of people consciously decided to just wreck everything.

"Irony" has done more damage to the RPG scene than Wizards of the Coast. I'm fine with "comedy". But I want games made in earnest. I want the old indie canard where you make stuff because you love it and if anyone likes it it's a bonus.

Post-apocalyptic games really force you to think about how trade works.

Previously salt was used as a currency, but my PCs helped destabilize that settlement. Which has collapsed the trade networks.

Authors and Gamemasters, today's world building question!

What type of economy is prevalent throughout your story, and how does it impact it?
