The World of RPGs

Amazing bundle, and while I already have print copies of DIE and The Wicked + the Divine, I have been looking for Phonogram for some while.

Thanks for the article, I just read it! It was fascinating finding out more about Jubensha when I did the (Mainland) China episode for my podcast. Back then (2023), there had been news about police crackdowns on "Chinese LARPs" in Western media, so it was good to talk to Chinese players about it.

The weirdest part of that German sketch is that the actor playing the SS officer is the "bad guy" in the country's longest running soap. Also a trekkie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgan...

I once had a teacher named Eckhard Klein, and then we got a substitute teacher named Ekhart Klein, who was like "finally we meet - all these years I had received so much of your mail".

Sorry, the GMing advice is for parents on how to play with kids, not for 5 year old GMs! (my sentence maybe wasn't that clear)

I've played Amazing Tales with my 6 year old kid, it's very very child friendly with specific GMing advice for young (5-8) year old kids.

I just found out this exists and it's so far out it could even be... no it's probably not good.

Oh yes, hate these. Recently had to format a paper of mine for conference proceedings like that. I think Nature and Science use that style, so I guess the natural sciences like it?

My dad is American and moved to Europe 50 years ago. He is now becoming naturalised (German citizenship), because a new German law allows double citizenships for immigrants (before that it was only tolerated for people who got it by birth or for countries that don't let you relinquish citizenship).

Kickstarter and Backerkit gives you automatic share to Bluesky options, but I guess I gotta do a screen share for Gamefound. Was a bit on the fence about this game, but then one of the few reviews started a long section about House of Leaves and I was sooo in.

summary: the song starts with a recorded claim by a fascist about Antifa allegedly being financed by the government, and then they sing about being fully employed counter protesters and being unionised extremist Antifas

German Antifas actually did a song about this 5 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3OD...

It's such an evocative title!

I hope they don't do that anymore, since I am visiting Helsinki for the first time in my life next month

In the olden times (I mean like 100 years ago), there were even address books, where you could look up the names and jobs of everyone in a house.

I still know a bunch of these numbers, but I won't post my friends' old numbers here because they might still be their parents' old phone numbers that are still active.

Thanks, I thought it came from magazine. I was aware it was connected to DIY/ e.g. punk culture.

You might ask yourself why there's no new episode. I've just been swarmed with work and needed to priorize family and rest over editing. In the meanwhile, some relevant games for Episode 23 are in this bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/magpie...

A room in a gaming café with tables where people are playing roleplaying games. The lamps have the writing from the One Ring from Lord of the Rings on them.

Picture Monday: Me running UVG two weeks ago at Goblin Club in Istanbul.

Weird how all of these lists popping up always include 1 act I've seen live 🙂 (in your case Prodigy)

Actually most zines aren't zines, since a zine would require it being some kind of periodical, wouldn't it? /nitpick

The hospital I frequent said they wouldn't give you both shots at once. This was two years ago.

A personal player handbook for a rules light game that has incentives to make such a keepsake would actually be a pretty good idea.

Exhausted after reading 35 pages of Wizard of Oz with different character voices to my kid.

FAIRY DUST, A Fantasy-Horror Film Return to Oz meets Pan's Labyrinth in this unique and surreal, 80's-inspired genderqueer Dark Fantasy film!

I just backed FAIRY DUST, A Fantasy-Horror Film on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/fai...

You can do it! I once needed 80 applications to get a job.

Had my first dream about this podcast. Was visiting some small towns in Germany (will actually do in November) and ended up in Bucharest, where I found two zines from Romania and Bulgaria in English. Unfortunately I only remember one of them, and only that it had a really convoluted dice mechanism

this is gonna be relevant on my channel real soon. I mean it's already relevant but you'll understand the context. sorry, posting while watching Adventure Time.

Well, it's not harvested yet. The German grown tea I've had (not commercially sold) was kind of meh to be honest. But I've had English and Scottish grown tea that was rather good.

For the Spain episode of my podcast, the person I interviewed about the history was @fermoreiras.bsky.social who's also a translator of video games and pretty cool.
