In today's news, turns out that I have been banned from the local pub for being a witch?
The landlord apparently hates what he called 'Glastonbury types' and rails against witches moving into the local area.
In fairness, we do have a practicing witch but she's a terf. Then there's someone else who has done 'goddess training' and talks about Pagan stuff a lot. We're on good terms with her and because we dress quite alt, we've been deemed witches #somerset
I wrote up some thoughts on the Forge book, the social composition of gaming groups, the role of the GM, and changes in the hobby over the last 25 years #ttrpg
I read a post today about someone wanting to play an OSR game and then cooling on it quite rapidly because the GM presented them with a river to cross and they couldn't work out how to do it.
Players moaning about misty-stepping and athletics rolls.
Reminiscent of Chris Bissette writing an adventure for an MCDM magazine and editor reporting that it caused a series of TPKs because 5e players just walked into the river because there wasn't a 'pass river' skill.
Enjoying my second playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 a lot more after I read a couple of articles.
The quickhack/magic system is somewhat OP but I imagine it must be what it feels like having a degree in marketing....
You just wander through life, broadcasting poisonous yet somehow infectious memeplexes at people and declaring yourself the winner while everyone showers you with money and opportunities.
The one thing we can take from the efforts to repair Michael Jackson's reputation is that Epstein and Saville should have learned to tap dance.
Whenever I see people talking about 'progressive patriotism' and reclaiming the St George's Cross I imagine a comparable German conversation in which someone moans about how unfair it is that only Nazis get to adorn their uniforms with the totenkopf.
Actually no... It is worse as there have been loads of military groups who have adopted skulls as symbols whereas only bellend racists care about the flag of St George.
Woke up to this as the first image on my IG: I think that therehas been a coup? this is El Presidente, he and his goons now run things out of Minehead RNLI #somerset
@munroe@dice.camp BTW, I saw that you were struggling to retain players. Has that improved at all?
