I’ve played a Call of Cthulhu games in nWoD or CofD before. Never tried fantasy, that seems neat.

100% done this. Some systems just gel with me better (like nWoD or CofD). I’ve always wanted to try this with Curse of Strahd.

Finally! It makes so much sense. Glad they’re giving up and just accepting it because I’ve been calling it that personally for awhile lol.

Didn’t know this was a thing either. Interesting. Excited to watch the video that I presume is summarizing all this drama.

Haha we used to live for that shit in the days of 3e/3.5

EDIT: I see now you thought they meant Pathfinder 1e, which explains it. Since that’s basically the same as 3.5 but better lol.

I’d consider buying these just to have them in my collection, but it would just be a fun read and collector’s-item/museum-piece-kind-of-thing. Not sure I’d ever play them or read them more than once.

That sucks. I’m sorry that happened =(

It was like that for me on the Marvel Rivals subreddit on Reddit. I didn’t like all the smurfs (new accounts made by higher ranked players in lower ranked lobbies) but when I complained about it and said lower ranked or more casual players deserve to have fun, too, a bunch of people diminished my experiences, gleefully said they smurf, it’s a skill issue, it’s not a real problem (despite me checking enemy user profiles and sure enough, they’re all experts at this game with barely any time played and all wins in their competitive matches), just to not play, etc. It’s like pro basketball players dunking on little kid community games. They deserve to have fun, too!

Don’t have any advice or anything, and what I said may not have made any sense to people who don’t play the game, just empathizing on how much the internet sucks sometimes and your comment reminded me of that. Now I’m angry just remembering it lol.

It also feels like half the activity on Reddit now comes from bots. It makes it feel emptier than it probably is to me when I go visit there occasionally, especially on the big subs. Which then makes me focus on the small subs, which end up feeling smaller or equal to the fediverse already, just on more niche topics.

It’s an AI bot that finds songs?

Subbed!

The USSR had to deal with a civil war, rising up during WWI and being sabotaged by the Germans, more civil war, foreign meddling, and all while being the first successful communist revolution. Yet they still managed to raise literacy, raise health outcomes, raise average life expectancy, gender equality, science and technology, end the cycle of famines (after the first one or two they had when they were still building up), had faster growth during that period than any capitalist country (except maybe the US, which was doing imperialism at the time and the biggest hegemon), all while helping sustain other socialist countries, like Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea.

Ya, that makes sense. They seemed pretty similar in concept, I probably just misremembered something he said.

There are some rpg communities I’d love to see more activity but I haven’t even been pushing as much as usual recently, let alone posting our moderating. Maybe one day.

It’s a good idea to spread PSA’s like this though so pretty people can.

I didn’t know this was by the people who did Barbarian. Maybe I will see it.

Ya I think he’s said something about replacing that advice with node-based adventure design or something, but this article by itself has helped me improve tons of mystery scenarios by itself that I think the advice works as is.

That’s a food idea to include it on a session 0. For a long time I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have such creative players until I started DMing with players new to rpg’s who aren’t used to that “I can do anything?!” mindset.

Good idea!

Best one yet!

Yup. We’re in an extra normal time and people are still clutching to decorum and civility as if it matters anymore.

Well at least here we can pretty easily see where the money goes by looking at the billions of dollars given to Israel and the military.
