Because I saw people arguing about it on the other place. What is a railroad? Is it just a function of a GM railroading the story and character beats? Is it anything where there is a mono directional structure to plot and character? If your game has a train in it? Are point crawls railroads? #ttrpgs

If you know me, you know I’m a huge Doctor Who fan. (Esp the classic series) So it does sadden me to see the new series struggling in this weird season 22esque purgatory despite me not always being a huge fan? Love lots of Nu Who, dislike almost equal parts. #doctorwho

I'm explaining to people what the old Convention Paranoia LARPS that ran at Melbourne cons in the 90s were like. They were a wild ride with some neat ideas at the core (Plus a whole bunch of stuff that would not pass the saftey tools muster)

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

Everyone is citing Dick in reference to this story, but as unfashionable as he has been over the past few decades this kind of article makes me think of Bradbury much more.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.
He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."

We wonder why there is very little real in-depth artistic analysis of TRPGs when discourse is all sub posting in fear of flame wars and airing out decades long personal grievances.
