Before the Flood 1: You Can’t Wake Up if You Do... by Gamewoven

My personal queer experience is constant imposter syndrome but then when I'm talking to my queer friends about queer stuff they're like "exaaaaactlyyy"

Modded XCom2 might be the hardest game. Jesus christ I bodied the unmodded dlc but this is a nightmare.

All this stupid article has taught me is that I really need to fw Ars Magica

The urge to remake this entire list but make it maddeningly clear that I have only played Before The Flood for 26 years (it just came iut so that's impossible, but I wish it were true. Imagine the many tragedies, the world's lost to time and heartbreak)
an interesting roundup, in that I disagree with almost every single ranking for almost every single game on the list.

very funny though to realize the only game on the list to crest the 7.5 mark for combat is the only one cribbing from 4e dnd's homework. lol

Sorry I am not a theater kid I very much prefer jazz so you will have to blame jazz with ruining D&D
I cannot express how pathetic you have to be to believe this happened in the TTRPG hobby in the last decade

We frequently call games "Certified Weavy" if they feel like they play nice when connected to other games. Maybe we should make a stamp to send to devs
Every year around this time I get a lot of folks saying "how did such and such game not even get into The Game Awards" or "so and so deserves an award" (and similarly in the other end of the year around Ennies season for tabletop) and I am here to say:

If that bugs you, GIVE IT AN AWARD.

Every time the conversation shifts to rules, fruitful void, role of the designer, etc I post The Gorgon's Game.

The important thing to know about The Bowerborn Gods is that they are more human than they are god. They are born and become themselves if they’re allowed to, not made as they were meant to be. They hold no special ability beyond their domain. A Bowerborn may be among us and we haven’t noticed.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

This is me, by the way, this is who you have been making fun of in your private discord.
Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.
