Swedes wondering why you’d string your Julbord out over 25 days
"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

”Patton Oswalt was suspended for saying child abuse is bad”
No he wasn’t and no he didn’t. And you either know that and you’re an arsehole or don’t and you’re an idiot. Stop bikeshedding.

Once again I am begging people to decide whether they want rules-based moderation on here or vibes-based moderation
Because if it’s vibes-based moderation you’re not going to like what the mods choose to let slide. If it’s rules-based you just need to learn to use your goddamn brain when you speak.

Is it weird that it's player housing that's making me want to get back into WoW after fifteen years?

My son's boning up on American geography for a test and I'm not sure how to let him know my entire knowledge of Caribbean nations comes from playing Sid Meier's Pirates

Short thread of random thoughts on this truism of "players like to roll dice", using the classic "pick a lock" example:
Parker, the World's Greatest Thief is confronted with a lock. As a GM you have 3 options:
1. If it can be picked, she picks it. The player can narrate how. Parker's badass

Yeah, this person was saying that they like to let players roll when they already know that the roll can't succeed, so the player finds out through "immersion". And I'm just like...

Really looking forward to the intro to RPGs session I'm running for 15-18yo this month. I decided to run a no-prep Fate Accelerated session because I can't think of a better way to get people into good RPG habits from the get go. Imagination and collaboration rather than rulebooks and narration.

I kinda think if we want to claim it’s unacceptable for the right to use violent, threatening language and then hide behind ”it was only a joke” then we don’t get to do it either. That’s not apples and oranges, that’s straight hypocrisy.
