i mean nothing can help me being in it 15 years before they did the recording but the fact that that even happened is just really throwing me haha

And here's the haul, ft. games from @noroadhome.bsky.social, @raffitheowl.bsky.social, @carrion-comfort.com, @finchmund.bsky.social, @worldchamp.bsky.social & @willjobst.bsky.social (by way of @possibleworlds.bsky.social's FLGS), @timhutchings.bsky.social, and @cavegirl.bsky.social

Side by side spread of two tabletop role-playing game booklets on a brown paper background. The book on the left (or top) is a blue, blue, and pink design of a house with the title "Dwelling" in white. The book on the right (or bottom) has the title "Stewpot: tales from a fantasy tavern" and has a cozy fantasy tavern with wooden accents. The character in the foreground is wearing orangeish clothing and carrying a pot of stew.

Picked up some new tabletop games to try from @possumpunks.com (check out the shop if you're ever around Ferndale, MI. I'm also partial to the graphic novel selection. And stickers!).

Based purely on my weekend so far I think that if men are lonely, want mentorship from older guys, and want to be seen as sexually attractive they should get really good at playing Jazz

happy birthdayyyy

yeah if you can somehow run an Extra Ordinary campaign for 5000 that seems like a pretty good way to go! but yeah also definitely recommend doing a zine with a goal of like 500-1000 where you can break even with 100 backers as a very low risk learning experience

Got hung up by Visa. Called back. Got hung up on by Visa.

Attempted to (politely) get in a word edgewise and the tech started very loudly reading the script at me.

Also one of the techs immediately closed out my previous ticket on finding out what it was about.

So uh, keep it up. It's working.

This statement is false. Mastercard has enacted several required restrictions of activity on platforms that support it, including the attached screenshots, which all come from the Security Rules & Procedures within their Specialty Merchant Registration Program. www.mastercard.us/content/dam/...

tl;dr: money raised in July was way down, between 1/3 and 1/2 for Kickstarter and Backerkit respectively. AI is up, both in # of campaigns and money raised, and I'm *pissed* about it

A letter-sized handout titled "How to Play Hard and Have Fun in '68". The principles are: 1. Go in boots and all. The campaign will be shorter than you think. Make stuff happen now. Don’t wait, pull the trigger. 2. Dig the other characters. Dial in on the other player characters, pay attention to their narrative, and get your own character involved. Be their fan, or be their foil. 3. Make the GM sweat. Think of the game like a physics toy, and push the levers you have as hard as you can, just to see what happens. Rattle the cage, jump out the window, don’t look down. Move so fast the GM can’t keep up. 4. Sell the punches. Always choose the bigger reaction. Let your character be changed by the world and by the other characters. Let them be upset, emotional, irrational. 5. Fuck around and find out. If your character dies, they can come back as an echo. If they have to retire, you can always make a new character. The crew cannot be stopped. Act first and think later, make bad decisions, let the chips fall where they may. 6: Learn to stop worrying and love consequences. Most rolls are going to have consequences. Wouldn’t it be boring to succeed all the time? Embrace consequences, and create consequences, then roll them up in a giant ball of chaos and surf on top.

I think this is basically on the mark. Now that they're getting pushback about it, Stripe's position has changed to "uh, actually it was everyone else who did this."

Maintain pressure. Also maybe call your banks and let 'em know Stripe is blaming them.

for sure! i kinda think that's already in line w pbta GM principles though, and wonder if it feels meaningfully different than GM hard moves and reacting to them if you have the framing of tactical combat. it might! i'm mostly coming from a GM perspective and it not feeling that different on my end

mmm yeah i can definitely see that working for some people but feeling like it's still just a consequence of previous actions for others. would be interesting to see how you can tune that

been working on some combat stuff that was designed to be just player facing but i did get a lot of feedback that they wanted enemies to be able to make moves/attacks

Donations are low. Shares would help.
