A reminder: TTRPG Actual Play has been compared to reality tv, professional team sports, pro wrestling, audio drama, early television, & more — all for MANY years.
Its roots are many & include a wide variety of other play & performance practices, & the phrase derives from play reporting practices.

A roleplaying game is a collaborative storytelling experience between the other players at the table and you.

Man, ppl filming their process and then ending vids w/ artwork I never could have imagined is THE STUFF. Watched a dude create dyes from leaves near his house for a knitting project . A person who made stop motion animation with slabs of clay cut into pieces where each piece is a single frame. Like!

I must not dunk. Dunking is the riff-killer. Dunking is the easy path that brings discourse. I will face the dunk. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn my mind to seek the riff. Where the dunk has gone there will be nothing. Only the riff will remain
I will not dunk skeet.
I will not dunk skeet.
I will not dunk skeet.
Even when it is exceptionally tempting,
I will not dunk skeet.

lowkey believing in hexes is self care
NEW: People are hiring "witches" on Etsy to put hexes on Elon Musk following Trump's election win.
You Too Can Hire an ‘Etsy Witch’ to Curse Elon Musk
Riley Wenckus used TikTok to tell Elon Musk she paid “an Etsy witch” $7.99 to make his life “a living hell.” A new market has opened up for others looking to follow her lead.
