Honestly, not sure, but I find myself so exhausted with how safe and similar most movie posters look lately that despite these qualms and the rough, unfinished look of this poster, it called to me nonetheless.

Holy shit

Oh damn! How did I miss that! Let's fucking go

Me @ Ajax the Invincible: "I mean, that's pretty cool."
Me @ random hedge witches who are not very good at magic: "HELL YEA, MORE OF THIS."

Then again, maybe they're holding onto that card for their upcoming game CROWS. That would make sense, as Pinna is not very heroic.

What is not reasonable is losing a perfectly good failgirl character. In the era of Marcille being a fan fave, that would be a crime.

You may be thinking: Cassandra why do you care so much about this random NPC

simple: she is a witch with imposter syndrome, and that's funny and also my favourite brand of character

besides, I know MCDM hasn't forgotten her, she's the profile picture for the MCDM bsky account!

#savepinna

Holy shit maybe I gave up on WoT too soon

She's just a weirdo who lives in the Hivelands (it's exactly what it sounds like)

Holy shit, the "fucked" condition wasn't a joke. There it is. Beautiful.

Less is more for an indie. If you can write 10 levels of really really good class features, or 20 levels of half-assed class features, the former will make a way bigger impact.

WotC only had 10 levels of good class features when they wrote 5e, and it led to a T3/T4 experience that felt half-assed.

And considering how many RPGs have the expectation baked in that the GM is the only one who needs to understand the rules, in many cases the other players won't even realize a rule has changed! They could play for years before someone points it out to them.

If I think a rule in a board game we're playing is stupid and bad, I have to query the room, we have to discuss the effects of that rule, what might become imbalanced without it, and establish consensus.

If a GM thinks a rule is bad in the game they're running, well...they just change it.

*sweating nervously* no one, haha, yes

in seriousness, my regular board gaming group has a number of house rules we use for certain board games, so I don't think this is a uniquely RPG thing. But the RPG expectation that the rules are refereed by a single person does make it easier to ignore rules.

I've had to repeat, often, the mantra of "I'm not designing for those people."

"But what if someone interprets this in bad faith to cheat?"
"I'm not designing for those people."

Ok but god I wish progressives could just say "I don't like when this happens in conversation" instead of couching it in progressive language.

It's not ableist to have a mismatch of expectations in conversation, that's what talking to people is like XD
