If you've ever ever thought "You know I like this roleplaying lark but gosh DnD seems clunky and bad at what it claims to do, but I can't just step straight into a completely different style of game, if only there was something that did fantasy gaming in a familiar way but a thousand times better, and also not as gross as Shadow of the Demon Lord..." then this is for you https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pelgranepress/13th-age-second-edition-storytelling-action-fantasy-game/?src=XXEM1&mc_cid=0215ffb059&mc_eid=0e1fcc7e2d

The rules are very simple. If you ever go online and tell people to be philosophical about some technology wiping out their industry or their art form, and then you ever later on complain when any technology does it to you, then I get to eat your heart. I think that’s fair.

Sometimes masking is not rocking or not talking so much or not stimming but it’s mot just that. Sometimes masking is not performing all of les miserables in the McDonald’s queue. Sometimes it’s not screaming “all of these are lies” in a book store. Sometimes it’s not tearing your enemies apart with your teeth. Sometimes it’s trying to stay sane when you feel like a 5 dimensional rhombus shattering through a two dimensional universe over and over but you’re supposed to act like a person.

A guy trying to sell me web design just violated by boundaries so hard it gave me a panic attack. What a sales technique.

I want to know why you gm. And how do you think about going about it. Why do you want to do it? What do you think in your head when you decide you want to gm? What are you looking forward to? What do you do first? What aspects of the rulebook do you look to to decide to run something and get started? So much of rpgs really are aimed at players yet it’s the gm who usually reads the game first!

Last night just as I was falling asleep:

My brain: hey hey guess what
Me: nn what
My brain: Roadhouse is a Columbo prequel
Me: go away. That’s not true.
My brain: think about it - it makes sense - that’s how he lost his eye

Thinking about making some shirts to sell, which one do you like?

somertimes the hard part of rpg design is figuring out not the rules, not the setting but the hand-holding and the scaffolding. All the extra STUFF that isn't totally necessary but makes everything EASIER.

I feel like a huge amount of what happens next in my rpg making career depends entirely on whether Quinns discovers one of my games. He can make or break me.

The guy who painted this says AI isn’t theft so I ran it through a filter and added my signature. I call this new work “did AI make this or did I steal it?” It’s a modern art piece. It’s yours for $1000.

My dudes, hating the prison of masculinity does not indicate you are trans or non binary, merely that you are sane

Given how hard they chase him, I'm pretty sure those ghosts are chasing Pacman because he murdered them.

I don’t really know how to ask this but like is there some company or creators social media you think is just great? You’d hang out/follow it even if you didn’t care about their products/art?

The thing that annoys me the most about the AI situation is all the assholes who came crashing in saying “all technology is fine” and “it’s here to stay” and “if you hesitate you’ll be left behind”. The implication was that caution was a sin. And that mindset? Thays the mindset of the crazy capitalist, the move fast and break things mindset, the entrepreneurial ideal. And that idea is EVERYWHERE in our culture, and championed. And apparently in game design a lot. And it’s a broken ideology.

i'm probably the only one, but maybe i'm not. maybe there are lots of people who find new years as difficult as others find christmas or mothers day. You don't have to look forward to things, or look back at things if it hurts you. I'm with you in this.

Remember if you’re teaching games you need to explain tactics as well as rules. Why you do things not just what you do.

Years and years ago I remember perusing a fantasy series set in an alt-earth in a sort of 19th century steampunk thing with the two great power blocs of Europe rattling their sabres ala pre ww1 except the blocs were like steampunk tech vs I think maybe anthropomorphic animals? The only thing I remember was the map in the front that divided Europe into something like “the clockwork empire” and “the beast alliance” or some such… can anyone help?

I think this rpg is about how reform requires power, but power can prevent reform. You keep it and you’re a tyrant, you give it away and people rush back to their old habits…and ttrpg players hate two things more than anything: losing their cool power ups and NPCs messing with their plans. You can keep those if you like. It means you’re the bad guys.

Not all religions and doctrines are equal but a lot of nerds like to play “god poker” where they like to pretend Druidism or the Norse or Greek gods are way better than Christianity and it’s cheap and lazy.
