I've been really diving into Free League games lately. My FLGS has a monthly RPG night and the theme this time is Indie Fantasy.
Really wanna run Forbidden Lands (because I just really wanna play FBL), but not sure it's the best for game store one shots introducing people to new games.
I won Best Player Character Performance in an Actual Play at New Jersey Web Festival for my role on Happy Jack's RPG Podcast's The Unsung Tales! It's such an honor to be recognized for playing an RPG.
This one goes out to my One Ring fellowship Cai, Sam, and Dave; and to Kimi, our incredible Lore Master/Happy Jack's showrunner ❤️
And thanks to Free League Publishing for their awesome One Ring RPG!
First RPG i played (this year)
First RPG I ever Played was D&D. Nuff said about that, so I’ll focus on this year, and that was #ForbiddenLands, as the Symbaroum Group, sadly, didn’t take off.
Anyway, Forbidden Lands is a nice and sadly neglected/underrated Hex Crawler by #FreeLeague with a lot of OSR energy going for it. It uses the Year Zero engine and is appropriately deadly, forcing players to make better use of their wits than their character sheets.
I love it.
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
Und auch deshalb ist die Digitalisierung, die früher oder später unweigerlich auf eine Post-Privacy-Gesellschaft herausläuft, in erster Linie eine Dystopie:
"As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like Google and Facebook are helping. "
Google und Facebook/Meta geben Nutzer:innendaten an die US-amerikanische Polizei weiter, damit diese Menschen verfolgen kann, die Informationen zu Abtreibungen suchen.
Und das ist nur ein Beispiel. Morgen kann schon illegal sein, was heute noch legal ist und etwaige Datenschutzgesetze können auch in Europa gelockert werden, während die Überwachungsinfrastruktur, Digitalzwänge/Abhängigkeiten und der Zugriff auf Gesundheitsdaten immer invasiver werden.
