Age estimation selfie scan:
Congratulations, the tired gaze of nihilistic acceptance of certain doom in your dead eyes proves you were born under that constant threat of thermonuclear global anihilation we call the 80s! You may proceed to look at pictures of your friend!

(To avoid confusion: that 5th edition fantasy cover is by Mark Gibbons but Blanche was art director and your correct observation is about the aesthetics of that era under his direction and not just about what he personally painted)

Glorious Ides of March!
The day both Ceasar and the Witch King of Angmar died.

A good day for tyrants do die.

That scene in Empire where Luke literally refuses to join the literal patriarchy he is offered.

That's not even subtext.

I found Age of Legend to be fixing much of the mechanical madness while still feeling like what I like about Earthdawn.
But I think I am alone in this, it doesn't seem very accepted by most, don't know why

These very real several thousand hardcore Vampire players from your privat chat group that agree with everything you think, are they with us in the room right now?

Do they need a hug?

Am I doing this right?

Thinking about how folks often understandably cite Lord of the Rings and Master and Commander as media examples for healthy masculinity and yeah, so the dudes don't really meet any women to be shitty to - is that the secret?

Has not really worked for Space Marine novels after Ian Watson.
Mhmmm.

Times are so dumb rn, I can only do small things to help, but heres one:

My shirts and are now $20 instead of 25,
coins and booklets are discounted, too.

If you ordered a shirt in march ill give the retroactive discount through the site ☝️

The more barrels the more fucks. Basic physics.

It really speaks to how far TTRPGs have to grow as a medium that a game about taking care of a Tamogotchi completely imploded because it's designers couldn't fathom any gameplay other than combat.

Sorry you had to deal with this, what an angry weirdo you caught there.

When I first read about your game I wasn't really that interested because Vampire just isn't my jam - but I usually enjoy games without separate combat mechanics a lot, especially if they drive people mad who can't comprehend.

But for the shop clerk who now hasn't to explain ten times a day where 'the warhammer colours' are life got a bit easier.

Price increase? Bad, but not really tied to name changes.

It's funny but I've seen people who think it's actually a sinister move to rebrand a bit to make products more easily identifiable as the company gets more attention from newcomers - and that's silly.

As long as most book and game titles keep being made up of same ten words.

Because that's what patriarchy does, it's a pyramid scheme of male hierarchies. It lures young men to exercise violence that benefits the old men in power with the promise that later on they will be in power, too.
That's how wars always have worked.
Soldiers are disturbingly young.

Please don'f fall for the obvious "These are children, unsupervised children playing grown-ups!" takes.

These are the foot soldiers of patriarchy and white supremacy happily following their orders. It's not an uncontrolled oopsie - they were ordered to do harm and did so to move up the ladder.

Posting feet pics for attention

(Also a sexist joke about our 16 year old apprentice. Not sexualising but still. No.)

Guy at work made a weak sexist joke, I wordlessly stared at him in disgust, he called me The Joke Gestapo - so I threw a glass of water in his face for calling me a nazi. 🙃
When I apologised for overreacting I lied.

In case you are wondering how my day was going .

Your new quest is fucking off and never be seen again, slop machine.

i heard the neopets ttrpg is going to be announced as the $500k blades 68 stretch goal

Also the whole 'We have 1000+ pages of professional, quality rules and lore we now can never how you! Really, we actually have written a completely different game than we showed you, it is real, it has pacifism and all, I swear!
Sorry, can't show you now. Too late.' thing.

Great bit.

"Some of those pre-conversion legacy components also gave the impression that the game is a 5e re-skin, which it is not and has not been for quite a long while, being closer ultimately to an MLP, PbtA, and Fabula Ultima style in its intended final form,(...)"

🙃

And with it's last breath the Neopets TTRPG still brought laughter and joy to the community 🥲

For the DARTH MAUL WAS RIGHT shirts alone

The guy who beats himself with a comically large mallet?

Does 'always hunched fantasy creatures' include pangolins?
