she uh mo on my chi til I nut?

Not the first time (and let us hope not the last...?)

Check the country of origin, I've had random weeks of 900 Russian or whatever pageviews and assume there was some kind of content scraping occuring

remember how many people were disappointed horse-ebooks wasn't AI

:O

!!!!

What's that paste?? Seems like it's taking the detail really nicely

Wait that Battles album just came out a couple years ago, right? Right???

Simple drawing of a path diverging between some hills, a house, and a forest.

What you do?

"On what level of detail is the game played?" seems related. Like the ItO/NSR mantra of no surprise traps leads to different gameplay focus than a game with high likelihood of hidden traps, and is interesting in a different way. Table culture seems like a huge part too

And maybe there are other ways of engagement? Our run through every color area was relatively fully mapped and was more of an exercise in efficiency, though I do think piecing together different now-mapped sections did a lot to create interest in a way that giving the whole map to us wouldn't have

I do wonder if it is hit or miss re: engagement. I found games with no provided map does mean players need to have higher communication and intention to reach a specific destination, but if that gets muddled it's easy for some to check out and let the most interested mapper take care of it

Time to share this to my mf G+ circles

wait are those both the same guy??

I turned a half written blog draft into a d&d-adjacent zine for a swap event last fall, need to add some stats etc for v2

vampire hunter d: bloodlust is one of mankind's greatest accomplishments. in fact maybe the greatest one of them

In early hs before I ever touched a rulebook my friends would play a road trip game that ended up named "barns and dragons"

No dice, just vibes. Mostly tropes and success or failure was 100% GM (me) fiat so I promptly killed off anyone being annoying

This seems a little better methinks

That variation is often the newb's only chance of winning, so the one game out of dozens where the dream card does pay off is worth all the previous failed attempts where the better deck worked as expected

I think variance mitigation (or its opposite) is a huge part of the game that doesnt always get addressed. cEDH is 90% tutors and best-of in color with mathematicaly calibrated man sources while more casual decks include cards based on how cool they would be in the perfect circumstance so lean janky

Frieren was such a refreshing take on "vanilla" elves

Real freaks know 😎

Is there a way to tell all my news algos that I do not care about the fake band

The mismatch between gaming needs for mobility and historic tendency of roles being extremely immobile is a constant frustration

Uhoh these nerds clusters are going to be a problem aren't they

A lot of people credit Tony Hawk Pro Skater as forming their music tastes but let's be real it was all about Burnout 3

I've thought of that old version once every couple months since you posted it. A really nicely executed setting!

Mine does the same thing except it's Gordon the train. A slightly deep British affect and he's going along with just about any request
