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?

"Courtship of Kings, Danglok's Royal Dance"

Redid it an old piece from last year that annoyed and frustrated me so much.

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.

I am also here at KL Art Book Fair, on the left under the shadow of this tower of games.
Though there is also a cyclone hitting us tonight, and I am low key freaking out.
I love freaking out. It's awesome.
Set up for KL Art Book Fair tomorrow! Hope the rain doesn’t destroy us this weekend. Come by table 98 and say hi and fight me at eraser battle if you want a discount on eraserflag!

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

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.

For all you Playtest Zero fans out there, reminder that our meetups next week are the last time you get to bring a game to playtest this year! We have one more set of meetups in December, but those are our end-of-year party Zero Playtest sessions, where no playtesting is allowed!!!
