Gamer and occasional writer with a sideline in finance to keep the lights on. Probably wants to see the data.
So much this. It gets at something more elemental around objective preference but the game version is so pure. Being able to work with things in the four quadrants of strong/weak design and preferred/not preferred is the difference between design and fandom.

The Vaesen multi-table epic. 30 players splitting into missions by type and rearranging the tables. Unsurprisingly, I chose the puzzle room.

Someone at one of my Thursday tables said he was excited to play “Something something wicked wig.” I told him to get all the stuff that would disrupt other games out of his system on that one.

Just read “all the dykes at the Walmart pier” to the tune of Walk Like an Egyptian and that’s why I shouldn’t Bluesky before bed because now my brain is going to write the rest of that song with or without me.

When I was a kid I would see “Exit Only” signs on the interstate and wonder why they didn’t build another ramp so the people who lived on those exits could get back on.

You could. I would go with Zodiacground because it is more fun to say.

Exploding dice probabilities are beautiful.

The series is 1/n repeated n-1 times, then 0 then 1/n^2 repeated n times then 0 then 1/n^3 n times, and on and on.

So 4 is 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 0 ,1/16, 1/16, 1/16, 0, 1/64...

P for an entry on the table is always 1/n^(number of dice you have rolled) or 0.

I dearly want room 4 to be exactly room 3 but with a shadow hiding in the skeletons.

This is both heartening for the content and disappointing because the shirt in question was not the art from the article. I want upset that you are disturbing girl time Cthulhu.
