we pronounce more ways than that...you'll find pockets where it's pronounced in the british fashion, and some other ways that require a sanity check upon hearing, including my favorite 'mΓΆrva'

games lift a lot of weight to avoid rational mathematics

That ttrpg feeling as a DM when the party just fought skeletons in the closet, but no one comments on it...

looks like a lot of fun. And surprisingly nice mass transit.

Today's session of Pendragon ttrpg is our first grand feast after the coronation of the king. our last feast was only two rounds and we had a duel, an NPC sent to exile, and a player-knight sent to the stockade, a thing the count had to invent on the spot.

Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Time for Ask a Blind Guy. Give me a question about blindness in general. Or from a blind TTRPG GM/Player perspective. I'm here to help.

As a man, nothing will turn you into a radical feminist faster than the first time you're shown the twitter mentions and DM requests of literally any woman on the internet.

We don't need a Joe Rogan of the left. We need Bryan to see what his sister's LinkedIn Message Requests folder looks like.

i would not say "no" effort to fix the system, but the broligarchs don't approve of those efforts, so you may not have heard about them.

back to play the Call of Cthulhu rpg tonight. a couple of players haven't played since 4th edition, but noone "notices" anything different. There are definitely things different, but none of those ground shaking changes that players can't seem to just write-off to them forgetting.

have you ever read the words, "we wish him the best in his future opportunities" and thought it was sincere?

I feel like there has gotta be a one-shot at least in this.

Said goodbye to Savage Worlds for Pathfinder, or is it Pathfinder for Savage Worlds last night(?), with the demise of the Big Bad and his pet blue dragon. Both of whom were one-shotted by the party gun slinger. While the players were great, I think I'll let the system pass into the night.

do you mean like his entire body of work, or is there a something in particular that you've seen him do that gets you annoyed? I personally found his standup TV appearances during the Mork & Mindy time period unsettling, and didn't understand for a long time why.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
