lol that thread had some very… interesting takes about pbta. On both sides. Though tbh β€œpbta” means something different to everyone and I think it short circuits a lot of good discussions when people use it as shorthand for everything with mixed success results.

Those terms are funny though.

a crude drawing of a trash bin with a large human face sticking out of the top of it, surrounded by trash, with the caption "early testing for the public trash bins with human faces that beg to be fed garbage indicated that most found them too unsettling to use. However, the small number of participants, including some investors, who said they found the bins deeply erotic, and attempted to form romantic relationships with the bins was considered promising enough to continue funding the project."

That’s a great suggestion. I went C++ to PHP to the deep dark Perlish waters personally, but C++ to PHP is a good bridge. Lots of familiar concepts and structure but much more loosey goosey with types (at least PHP 5 was). I have since clawed out of the abyss to the comfort of Python πŸ˜…

Brindlewood Bay is a gem. Running a second campaign of it with some completely new to ttrpg friends and it is just so fun. And the cosmic horror is brilliant to drip feed initially into full blown cosmic entity over a campaign is just fantastic.

This has also been my experience introducing your games to four friends who had never played ttrpgs before. They universally β€œgot it” straight away. Friends who had played DnD before with me took a bit longer to latch onto the idea of a conversation and collaboration.

Something very strange is going on
There is a seemingly coordinated effort to FLIP FLOP on Al. All of the execs who were hyping Al to death just a few weeks ago are now claiming that Al is a bubble, that AGI is nowhere near, and that Al will have a much smaller impact than anticipated.
> Altman called it a bubble
> Eric Schmidt said that AGI is basically bullshit
> Matt Garman (AWS CEO) downplayed its impact
WHY the sudden narrative switch?
WHO gave the orders?
I swear, it's like they're all part of some cult. They all embrace the same talking points all at once, and abandon them all at once.

After reading By Endurance We Conquer, sat down and started actually writing down a CfB 2-3 shot game that’s Holes but what if the counselors are a cult doing a cthulu/dragon(?) summoning instead of finding a treasure. Idk if it’s gonna *work* but it feels really fun in my head πŸ˜‡

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

They, of course, leave behind their phones because they’re trying to β€œreconnect with the primal man” (or some shit).

What if they basically could have just left whatever terror they run into alone but feel some need to β€œout-predator” it as the β€œalphas”?

Lots of angles of approach here πŸ˜€

I can’t help but wonder if the positive reviews and especially word of mouth hype around the game is boosting its late launch on PS. It’s a known β€œgood game” now instead of unknown (probable) cash-grab IP schlock

Oh and the β€œfree version” is a truly complete game you could (and lots of people have been) running for years. My group is a bunch of gamers and the levels of roleplay evoked by this game is unmatched. Every single sessions during debrief someone highlights something about the system that they love

Some of the most fun I’ve ever had running roleplaying games in my life. The game loop perfectly accents the β€œroleplaying game” part of #ttrpg
β€œPlaying to find out what happens” is truly such a good time as a Keeper or player.
Check out the free version and back the crowdfunder. #thebetween #cfb

It's the 10th anniversary of Too Many Cooks. Fun fact: the part of Brindlewood Bay where you narrate the opening credits of the episode, which then get creepier as the campaign progresses, is directly inspired by Too Many Cooks.

We are in the final week of our @backerkit.bsky.social crowdfunding campaign for The Between! So far we've unlocked 19 stretch goals, but we still have 7 to go.

A quick thread about each of these stretch goals, which are among the coolest of the campaign.

Fighting the game because I refused to use (or sometimes learn) the rules. Biggest example being balancing fights. I always used a calculator for encounters the would eyeball it, panic, and adjust (sometimes mid session). I could have gone by the book but I knew that might not serve the story
