It was Fiasco, and it was, like, 5 years ago. I just got here.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

OMG. The full quote is *SO* much worse than you're imagining.

She says dude was into "very young teens" who could "pass for even younger than they were," but also says that these children "looked legal to a passerby."

sry; that's not even coherent.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A big part of the gameplay was mapping and collecting notes. Now all that info is readily available online.

Anyway, that was the first time I thought about this genera of game. Neat article.

Screenshot:
"I think the reason why is that the term was originally coined to mean "games with open-ended exploration" – similar to a metroidvania – but using knowledge gating instead of traditional ability gating. In a "true" metroidbrania, what you know is the only real form of progression; a player who already knows all the secrets can start a fresh save and immediately go through the motions of beating the game, skipping over most of the game."

hmm.

When I was a kid, I obsessively played Ultima III. A few years back, I replayed it using a DOS simulator.

It is a pure metroidbrania game as defined here. It worked circa 1986 b/c players had no alternative but to interrogate the game.

I don't have any direct experience; sorry. I use canva for all my flyering needs, and most of my rpg handout needs.

Here's where I go, tho, when I want to avoid using a popular tool:

1/ Complicated thoughts on this and the relationship between early D&D in general, that I'll try and get vaguely coherent.

Firstly, the idea that early D&D wasn't racist simply isn't arguable in good faith.

I fooled around w/ the idea of a morose cowboy named "Kid Finnish."

And then, of course, there's always "Asymmetrical Bob."

That was my understanding as well, but maybe actual reference to it is taboo?

Have they ever had Dr Who die on screen? I don't follow that franchise, either.

I may be out of line, but I don't care how broadly folks define "rpg."

Go nuts - hide and seek is an RPG! Nothing is off limits!

I ran a Bridlewood Bay session this weekend.

One of the PCs has Dale Cooper, and my dream scene was maybe the highlight of the session - cool dream sequence; I wish the session had popped a bit more.

We hit layer two and my PCs just happened to research local history in an antique bookstore ...

I read your whole thread, and yeah - I can see you didn't say it was a good idea.

There are folks out there reposting this particular post from the thread to advance an argument that it was, in fact, a good idea.

A stunt vote isn't technically *nothing* so .. .yipee! I guess.

No actual policy wins, but at least there'll be plenty of fodder for the talking heads. Masterful work, folks.

eh.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying about system.

But tbh I absolutely **love** system agnostic lore/settings resources, and I actively seek them out.

Missing this insight tends to be linked to limited exposure to different RPG systems. If you've only ever played one or two closely related systems, those systems have facilitated **all** your play, and that makes it hard to understand how different systems can influence gameplay.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

This guy's inability to offer a substantive defense of his work and his organization tells you pretty much all you need to know, tbh.

A blurry photo of kid with long hair. He's dressed all in black and is wearing a black choker and a large cross on a chain.

When my little one as 8, his teacher told him he could wear a costume for the school's Christmas music program.

He decided to dress as a vampire.

(Yeah, I know vampires wouldn't wear a cross, but it was his costume.)
