The best thing about combat in The One Ring: the stances and their tactical effects

The worst thing about combat in The One Ring: getting the players to remember the stances and their effects

So I banged together these basic Stances decks, one for each player

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

It was my grandmother-in-law who first informed me that I need to limit my vocabulary so that other people understand me

But I love words and think people should be expected to learn them

It’s funny bc telling us we simply can’t have policies endorsed by a majority of the population is telling us that both the speaker and our entire government are dysfunctional, not responsive to their constituents, and illegitimate

But, sure, stick with “better things aren’t possible”

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

I think a lot about when I was looking at Pathfinder 2e: I found a dude that made like 2 dozen videos about how this or that nitty rules detail made things so specific/granular/simulationist… and then I found his video about his group dumping Pathfinder bc the rules overhead was so exhausting

I think there’s a lot to like about The One Ring TTRPG, but one of my main points is: it’s blessedly simple, whereas my opinion of 5e—and anything trying to be like 5e (i.e. Daggerheart)—has so many needlessly fiddly bits?

Rules-lite ftw

Anyway, @gailsimone.bsky.social clued me in to the existence of The One Ring ttrpg and I thought “Why not let it consume my soul?” and, by the end of the week, the only published materials I won’t have are Realms of the Three Rings and the two new books that haven’t released, yet

All of my students are behind where they should be in course completion by the schedule laid out in my syllabus and I don’t know what to do other than email them “remember: please do your work?”

Kaine and Warner interns at every number not disconnected are now aware of my dissatisfaction
Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

Reminder that the lesson of 10th grade history is that a successful USA was built on a 90% top marginal tax rate, the New Deal, and “a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot”
