Do not go gentle into that good night

Explain it like I'm 5

its like there is a shadow of a good idea somewhere in the distance behind this one

I would love regulations around privacy and algo transparency.

Definitely throw a party!! What larp will it be?

When we Play together, we can physically sense this vital energy being exchanged. I put something out there, you respond to it, someone else adds something. We're in our bodies. It feels good!

Combat, roleplay, ritual.. improv - these are mediums where energy is upgraded and exchanged.

This isn't limited to larp - mutual aid, potluck dinners, and conversations where you feel Seen have been the bread & butter of church communities. It's part of why they've been so powerful.

In a world where "third spaces" are vanishing, we need non-work non-home spaces to do Human Things together.

In an ideal larp community, the energy circuits function like a metabolism, transporting elements to where they are most needed.

What's my Larp philosophy?

Exchanging energy with other humans makes you feel alive.

Both individuals and groups receive energy, upgrade it, and send it back out. Over time, circuits develop, enabling the exchange of higher and higher grade fuel.

PC Conclusion: magical experiments deep underneath the capitol tried to reanimate titanic biomatter. But they accidentally created a specialized titanic fungus which spread like wildfire.. within 50 years, the kingdom was empty - everyone had either fled or become fungal zombies.

Everything is covered with chitin caps - tiny stonelike mushrooms with a sweet odor. Underneath the capital, the players found tunnels with 'KEEP OUT' spraypaint and caution tape. Past that, there were hostile fungal growths with little trousers and loafers sticking out the bottom. Infected Corpses.

Given: "The kingdom of Fallen Umber got rich mining titanic biomatter"

Question to the PCs: "What's titanic biomatter?"

Answer they gave me: "The region is littered with the corpses of enormous ancient beings. Cities were biomagically grown from their bodies."

Bingo, now every city is a body.

The gang is doing some freelance research for some lazy archaeologists. They are exploring the region to make a good guess about "what happened here".

The UVG hardcover gives you a few juicy particles, but the players at the table have to string them together to make the story.

I just wanted to make a post

YouTube video by mlyb64 because it's so much fun, jan!

ehh I just don't think it was effective. I agree that Tarantino thinks his audience is idiots, & he loves cooking them junk food out of fancy ingredients while he winks at his filmmaker peers. I don't read this movie as discomfort with torture porn at all.

"Wouldn't it be FUN to torture and brutally murder people that you think deserve it?"

I cannot express how much I dislike this movie.

It's like "the crowd at the ball game" By William Carlos Williams but without its last line.

TotSK is a "tutorial" dungeon for the OSR/Oldschool dungeon style: coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/.../osr-tomb....

-Exploration: mapping, secret passages, shortcuts and loops
-Deadly traps, but finding/disarming them never involves dice, just problem solving
-Monsters can be bypassed in creative ways

Moosemas is a Discordian Holiday from the 80s that was resurrected in the 2000s:

It's about drinking mimoosas, standing under the moosletoe, singing moosemas carols, and hoping we are visited by Jolly Old St. Nicklemoose.

Kickass #ttrpg session. They're exploring the Tomb of the Serpent King. They discovered the secret passage into the basilisk lair and got chased out the other side of it. They were now lost in a dungeon, three levels deep, and two of em only had 1 hit point. How do we get outta here?? Peak D&D. #osr

Today is Boomtime, the element is sound. So I'm starting my day with some music I've never heard before.

Yesterday was Sweetmorn so I got my kids a pepperoni pizza and we danced around with pepperoni eyes. Joy is a choice and heaven is a state of mind. Hail to the one who makes the grass green and the flowers beautiful.

On Setting Orange (element: sight), I want to see new things. I'll search for "tuba party", or "disaster pants". But the world's full of stuff I don't know about. Let's go looking on purpose!

Please reply with an image of something you've never seen before.

DISCORDIAN ELEMENTAL MEDITATION

The Discordian week has 5 days, each associated with a sense. (Mal & Omar called them "elements")

Every day, I try to have an intentional experience of that day's element. Today, (Prickle-Prickle), I stood in the cold and drank my hot coffee. It fnorded me up.
