Accidentally started a work cult. There are multiple people at my job that do daily tarot pulls and we discuss our pulls as if they were authentic workplace concerns.

Good morning! We're diving back into worldbuilding prompts for Cosmic Century Knights!

A question about long, distance communication turns into a catch-up on a couple deities and then we figure out who the greatest villain in history is (it's exactly who you think)

2nd Chosen down, mission 143. Adds in the revival chamber totaled to 47 xeno kills in one mission. I am honestly terrified to go for the 3rd one with this modpack - that second assault was WAY harder and I was using my best squad.
Dear reader after 136 missions in Xcom2 running the covert infiltration mod I have finally killed a Chosen. My vanilla run I killed a chosen on like mission 35. This mod is crazy long.

Okay friends, I teach trumpet to a fine young man with autism and I've found we really lock in on doing book stuff when we attach storytelling and game elements to his book exercises.

Anyone know of a simple worldbuilding prompt game something like "draw a card, answer a question about your world"?

What happens when you have an established world with extant key characters and villains, then layer in a system where Important People Get a Cool Magic Sword but There's Only 100 Of Them and You Can't Reuse Abilities

You get me rolling up all known blades.

We can't help ourselves we keep making weapons vast and otherworldly
Fun thing about @gamewoven.bsky.social lore is that this story was turned into WMD after someone ate a fish that had eaten it from the person who told it, and that’s not the first time something like this has happened.

If you want to do something and I mean a big Something, being around people who also want that as much as you do is more important than being around people with talent or experience. The latter make good sounding boards and mentors, but not good teammates unless they have the Want.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Let's keep worldbuilding!

Today we start the collaborative worldbuilding section for Cosmic Century Knights. This involves each player rolling on a prompt table and answering a single question.

We got through 2 of them in 40 minutes. The lore is that dense lol

Unrelated: my jazz quartet had our release show on Saturday for our debut album. Here's the sold out audience holding up their vinyls

Anyway what's fun about the worldbuilding questions in Cosmic Century Knights is one of them turned into a 30 minute philosophical discussion of the nature of magic where, in earnest, Platonic Forms were brought up. So that's just probably gonna be one episode by itself.

🚨 We have just over 3 days left of the No ICE in Minnesota Game Jam before we start prepping for the Charity Bundle. No late submissions will be accepted so we can start on time on February 9. 🚨

Thank you to everyone joining and sharing the bundle’s game jam 🖤

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Evening bump! We're back!
We're back! It's time to launch Csmpaign 2!

After three years of worldbuilding we've decided to actually play in our weird continent of Norequis with a Big Damn Grand Campaign. We'll be using Cosmic Century Knights by @oneshotrpg.bsky.social and Andrew Mierejewski.

I am currently looking at letter-writing games for campaign 2. One thing we discussed was incorporating letter-writing into the Big Damn Adventure as a vehicle to make the world feel more alive, connect the characters to it, tug at heartstrings, and showcase a cool niche.

Suggestions? Reposts?
