In Paper Mario: The Origami King, some attacks deal elemental damage. The elements start off traditional, with Earth, Water, Fire etc. but then quickly devolve into one-off joke elements like "Golf".

It's been fun reading responses to this, especially since I just threw it out there and went on with my day. Some people are answering very different versions of this question than I had in mind, and that's OK! But here's what I was thinking with this:
What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

I only realised this after filming, but not only do none of these games need any prep, none of them even use a GM. The future is now.

Speaking of Desperation, one fun thing I’ve done with new players to Dead House is kinda obfuscate how the deck is set up so theres an “oh shit” moment when you reach Hell. Not needed, but very fun when it happens.
lol thinking about looking through the replies to my dumbass question, and then now sideswiped by @itsquinns.bsky.social dropping a video on boxed games.

Unusual alignment of two climate forces behind record-breaking rain, floods in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is enduring one of its wettest seasons in recent memory, with record floods, consecutive typhoons and widespread displacement testing the region's capacity to adapt.

when i first opened oddfolk i immediately started a doc to write moves to get it table ready, there’s something about the incompleteness it presents that makes you want to add to it and also makes you feel like you can
The curious, playful, and intentionally unfinished Oddfolk left @newmadras.bsky.social completely charmed.
Oddfolk is the most fun you can have with four lines
Warning: can cause game design.

Continuing our series of "what if D&D but not?" games of In This World.
I am continually astounded how we can make a setting I want to play a whole campaign in every 25 minutes less. And then another. And then another.
