account recovered! tempest tome is back, baby (and adults)

The sages wrote that G-d required “a starter pack of seven cool ass guys” to save sodom from destruction.

But the theory I personally like the most is that they were gaming tokens. The sex act may have been specific to the game ("draw a coin from the bag and do what it says" has been suggested, for a sort of organised orgy scenario) or they may just have been naughty decorative checkers.

Makes its own gravy!

Slowcooked chuck roast is the way to go. High satisfaction, moderate prep, smells a house up good.

Cover of the first edition of the Traveller TTRPG. Over a black background, the title stands in red, cursive, san serif letters. Abovce it, an evocative SOS message is written in white.

I'm obsessed with the original Traveller TTRPG cover. Such a stark beauty.

Not that that's ever stopped bad actors in DIY spaces before, but it was confusing in all those other cases too!

Politics is innate to every community! And as an aside, exclusionary and hyperindividualist politics are a *strange* fit for a hobby that's built around DIY imagination games with friends. You don't fundamentally need capital to play RPGs- but you *do* need friends and neighbors.

95% of Gygax worship is "fake fan" behavior imho. There's no way Elon has the patience or social skill to keep a campaign going.

We had more requests from awesome #ttrpg designers than we could possibly fit into our first starter pack, so we're putting together a second!

This list is still growing! Comment if you're interested in being added! Likes and shares appreciated!

Howdy!

I'll be honest... I see a lot of profiles that have tons of little icons in them and I have no idea what most of that stuff means. I have this fear that I'll follow someone whose list of 37 icons means they are a genocidal, white nationalist serial killer who writes Pol Pot fanfic on another site.
