Had a go at 2D6 DUNGEON solo dungeonbash. Pretty interesting - enjoyed casually journaling it at the same time and making some o' that sweet, sweet emergent narrative. The combat is a particular standout (die matchingwithshifts), but the encouragement to "just roleplay it" is very welcome.

@nopipbutcpip.bsky.social

So, @pyrephox.bsky.social, once this thing fails horribly, do we dungeonbash it?

Politico @politico.com · Dec 28

A group of Silicon Valley billionaires, led by a former Goldman Sachs trader, announced plans to build a new city from scratch in windswept farmland about 50 miles from San Francisco. They're calling it "California Forever."

Why ‘California Forever’ is a definite ‘maybe’

Silicon Valley billionaire investors made some mistakes but got some things right with their proposal to build a new city near San Francisco.

If you see this, QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood

(No .gifs of this one, and I had to rummage a bit to find a screen grab)!

The original 1980's dungeonbash adventure game, the Bard's Tale. Screengrab is heavily pixilated, with the image of a kobold in the left hand corner, the text describing its attack in the right hand corner.

(The kobold slashes at BRIAN THE FIST and hits for 4 points of damage. You still face 5 kobolds. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?

The six characters' stats are listed underneath.

BRIAN THE FIST, SAMSON, EL CID, MARKUS, MERLIN, OMAR.

It's also... not something I see a lot of in actual tabletop fantasy RPGs. Outside of the big wizard game, dungeonbash tends to be the demesne of OSR these-eight-characters-are-walking-mincemeat-losers games, and for dungeonbash board games you tend to get pregens with little flexibility or options.
