I realize that people will say I'm biased, based on my history with Wizards, but I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that the #Pathfinder 2e Remaster is what people imagine D&D is. The variety, the flexibility, support for all kinds of play, math that maths... 1/2 #TTRPG

As we celebrate the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr., his words are worth remembering. Though a reckless, abusive, brittle power ascends don’t give up on love or the long arc of justice. Even when we are feeling defeated—as undoubtedly MLK did—there is more for which to fight.

Noted with a friend last night that I haven't been to my favorite game store in over 6 months.
Part of it has been a battle with depression. But the other side of the coin is just the fact that I have what I need right now. The games, the TTRPGs, the Minis, I've got what I need, and that's ok.

I find points in Satisfactory absolutely suck and feel like they're roadblocks.
That's how it should be.

There should be some concern over data collection by TikTok from the bits I know.
HOWEVER, banning the app instead of regulating and auditing it's data capture is absurd. This is due to a large portion of our market operates off of unregulated data capture from other USA private corps.

Honestly, to go on stage and give a very respectful yet challenging statement to the industry about ethical practice in business like this... it's awesome.
-shows up wearing ceasefire pin
-talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs
-denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms
-takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives
-doesnt name drop any celebs
forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

For those who don't know, Borderlands is one of my favorite game franchises. I've loved all of the games, even the less-good ones.
Gotta say, while we don't know much, I'm liking the look of what we have so far.

As a TTRPG player, one of the best ways to help support your fellow players is to ask them questions and be invested and excited for their answers. Ask in OR out of character, and then have your PC react in a way that supports their answer.
2. Ask other characters how they feel.
Invite them to voice their opinions and feelings. It give people an excuse to speak and gives you ideas about what to do next in the story that will make it even more dramatic

What's crazy is how mean Threads is.
TwitterX just became a stirring pool of negativity. Threads just seems to be plainly mean. I'll see someone I don't know say something mild, and someone replying with a heavy rudeness.
Hopefully from moderation and culture we can avoid that here.

Been working on some homebrew for a Pathfinder campaign with D&D 5E one-shots.
Currently working on city culture quirks unattached to problematic ideas. Such as "Soda" being called "Pop" in Ohio, MD's love for Old Bay, and thinking about culturally how these things developed and replicating that.
