Though I've been drifting away from for a while now, it's still feels really weird to be completely uninterested in the latest releases. I mean, not even a twinge of FOMO.

@Tim_Eagon it's really freeing, honestly, especially since those latest releases are usually overpriced too. Feels great to not have to spend $50 on another flimsy glue-bound hardcover

Ugh, someone scheduled a meeting on a Friday afternoon at 3pm...

Tonight we were out in the front garden and a wall of fog rolled in like a wave in slow motion. We saw it pour in from an intersection up our street. Wild

@nickdrawthing Unrelated, but happy 100th anniversary of the founding of your town, Antonio Bay!

@nyrath Andre Norton's "Star Man's Son" is more great inspiration for this genre, and there are several monsters included in Mutant Crawl Classics that are direct homages to the creatures in the story

I’ve been reading way too many recently published scenarios that feature a perfunctory investigation before the Investigators board a train to creepy town that is a one way exercise in hit point and SAN attrition. Sure, some of the imagery is very creepy, but something is definitely missing, that being real problem solving and meaningful choices.

@Tim_Eagon in my experience, most CoC adventures boil down to breaking and entering. Masks of Nyarlathotep was egregious in this regard, with nearly every chapter having crucial information that was only realistically accessible if the PCs busted into the bad guys' house after hours

I realized today that I never need to watch or read a superhero origin story again. Cosmic rays, spider bites, escaping doomed planets, the whole thing. I don't need to see a character struggle to cope with their new powers or decide to hide it from their family or friends.I don't need anyone to answer the question "how could this be?" when I never actually asked.

@montecook but what if, hear me out, we saw how Batman's parents were killed

I'm a big proponent of the "jiggle it until it works" approach to troubleshooting. This applies to nearly everything in life, from mechanical stuff in my work to mechanical stuff in my games. Pump isn't starting? Jiggle it until it works. Combat feels a little slow? Jiggle it until it works. Change little things, bang on the hood, but most importantly: do it while you're doing it. Don't try to figure out everything before you start. Go for it, make mistakes, jiggle it until it works.

    @LeviKornelsen I started an adventure module review blog this year, focusing on short and to the point reviews of adventures that I personally have run, and how easy they were to get to the table https://sky-spire.bearblog.dev/

    Next week, should I get lunch from the sketchy BBQ wagon operating out of an abandoned gas station?

    @Tim_Eagon it is well known that the best BBQ comes from the most unassuming places
