Oh, very good [chef's kiss]

I heard lots of creators have been having issues with Itch the past fortnight.

Charity shop clothes are really pricy these days! Oxfam always was. Everywhere else has followed suit.

Great! But where's the link to the bundle?! Or am I being 'Woken early on Monday morning by my four year old brain dead' and missing it?

The group is likely to have been les UX: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_UX

"And there is valor in that mindset. But then something wondrous happens. We actually win.

"The act of continually losing, of facing insurmountable challenge, it enhances the satisfaction of victory. It heightens the emotional payout." 3/3

"Games like Regicide and The Mind begin with the premise that you will lose. This increased threat is an essential element of the game’s characterization and everyone who has even a lick of experience approaches with the correct pessimistic assumptions. We expect defeat and we play them anyway. 2/3

Possibly this? bsky.app/profile/rprf...

I wish there were the occasional links for context

That's probably why a lot of groups bounce hard off of some games and start hacking them before they even finish their first scenario!

I never played Exalted but did early Vampire. Can you explain how it managed to combine different attitudes where Vampire didn't?

Very interesting thread! I'd add that different playing groups/tables, not just individual players, also adopt the same attitude through shared games and campaigns they've already played, often without realising it. 1/2

"Highly accurate," says the father of just such a four-year old.
