It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.

What makes a good player?

- adventurousness
- allyship
Attendance: communicate when you'll be there and when you won't. "I'm looking forward to the game!" helps your GMs morale and inspires other players. Be as easy to plan for as circumstance lets.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate
so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines

The headline on this page seems to be entirely cribbed from "reckons", but what it's definitely telling me is that death-cultist David Salmonella-more's system for feeding children has zero way to track what is actually going on. Beyond those making a profit marking their own homework, of course.
