The new Superman movie was a tonne of fun! I really enjoyed it throughout and didn’t want it to end. A solid 8/10 from me.
I may have preordered the Collectors Edition of Ghost of Yotei. 👀
0/2 against S1E5 with Ithaqua. We got our asses frozen and then kicked.

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

i think at the core of it, its cool and fun if punching nazis in a game makes u feel good & u wanna do that play, but u cant delude yourself into believing play is a substitute for activism
Correct me if I'm wrong, but all these newer "fight the resistance"/"punch nazis"/etc #TTRPG feels like masturbating.

Don't roll dice and pat yourself on the back for it.

GO OUTSIDE AND HELP SOMEONE.

And if you can't, take that PDF money and donate it. Give +1 forward in REAL LIFE.

This is really good, by the way. #TTRPG Safety Tools continue to evolve, and this tool offers something new as well - eloquently explained.

And if you think #TTRPG safety tools are a waste of time or unnecessary, sorry, we can't be friends.
my article on the Palette Grid (which explores my dissatisfaction with lines and veils, and which opens up new approaches to discussing safety during play) is now available for the general public:

I don’t normally do politics but these aren’t normal times.

The world is watching a domestic convict under the heel of an international criminal and we’re screaming “SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!!”
Indeed! He is a very big lad and that sword of his - phew! 😅
Oh boy Pendragon 6e combat is lethal. 4 players-Knights vs King Ryons.
Three rounds of combat later and 3 of them are unconscious and 1 is basically dead (dying, but no one is coming in time to save him…) 🥺

Great moment in our Doctor Who RPG last night - “I’m going to hit the Nazi”
“What are you going to hit him with?”
“The other Nazi!”

Cool action and also a solid life lesson.
Hahaha! Yep it can get a little confusing. 😆
Broken Tales is great!

Conversations with the 8yo DM:

Adult: So what do you want to do when you grow up?

8yo DM: Build LEGOs and play DnD.

Adult: No, not kid stuff, I mean when you are an adult

8yo DM: Why would it change?
First game of Blood Bowl in 30+ years. Manic but a lot of fun! My stumbling Black Orcs managed to get touchdown!
