Once again, the satire news outlet calls it like it is and like the "real" outlets are afraid to. In case this take is Relevant for anyone in the USA today.

"You're just as bad as they are if..."

Imma stop you right there. No I'm not. I don't want innocent people to hurt and suffer. They do. These are very different things.

"What about his innocent children?" Yeah. Now he can never hurt them again!

I love Sine Nomine for worldbuilding ideas to put in other games but I can’t lie, there’s just something deeply satisfying to me about games where you really should have a binder for your character sheet to write down exactly what all your options do.

FULLY took that for flavor/a downtime job as a webnovel author, I am DELIGHTED because my wife/her character both scoffed at my idea and I WAS RIGHT IT WAS AN ANTHRO DRONE

God I love Shadowrun, I just got to roll knowledge: genre fiction because I pointed out the GM set up a Locked Room Mystery and maybe I could intuit something.

Yeah, uh, anti-abortion was moderately fringe before! That's why they spent FUCKING DECADES working to overturn it, you goddamn melon

I urge everyone who is understandably disturbed by the petition news to consider how very unlikely it is for the Court to even take this up, much less reverse Obergefell. Unlike abortion, marriage opponents don’t have the same social movement that anti-abortion forces did, which was core to the GOP.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Gonna have a bit more of a rant about the 'there's just so many damn trans women online!' thing.

I think people mistake this for some sort of systemic privilege; that we are being lifted up comparative to our peers because we are more acceptable within the public eye.

This is categorically untrue.

Probably I could have pushed it but truly nothing breaks through trauma like mild confusion

Tried to have a dramatic duel in VtR and people just kept rolling successes on frenzy checks down to chance dice and then one pc made it to the scene and fully just walks over to start poking at someone’s wounds, which flummoxed the ‘tragic suicidal enemy’ vampire fully into just talking things out

Western NC contains some of the largest democratic/left strongholds in the state.

Are the Bakers the only people who I can understand the GM advice they give?? The procedure for constructing narrative easily? They solved the problem!! Why do the games that spawn off their work ignore that? Am I just stupid? Fuckin apparently!

sylviesuccubus.bsky.social @sylviesuccubus.bsky.social · Aug 9

….and honestly having read it and now moving into reading other PbtA games now that I’m not fully bouncing off it on a conceptual level, I’m bouncing again. They’re just not as well-written or usefully structured.

My stunning critique of Apocalypse World: the title text for Warlords and Grotesques should be singular not plural, because Brutes is a group threat and if they’re all plural it’s a little annoying.

CALL TO ACTION!

Saturday morning, our first #iHunt short film goes live. It's like 12 minutes, but I think we did a lot within our constraints.

GO TO THIS LINK. Click the "notify me" thing. Then, when it goes live, watch it? And like it? And love it? I dunno.

Dig it.

Rivers aren’t the thing that bothers me, it’s the lines with indent-or-longer spaces between every word that do. Those are heinous and unreadable.

My phone just tried to replace ‘perfect’ with ‘peg to egg’ in a text. I feel harassed.

Oh, good! The trauma of doing violence is pretty unacknowledged except as a way to like whitewash perpetrators often, I feel like games are one of the better avenues to discuss it honestly. What edition are you reading, if I may ask?

I really need to read this. Do you roll isolation after a fight? I feel like that would fit.

Ever since I listened to the Dueling Fops of Vindamere ep every time Stolze comes up I just hear ‘SHE’S SO 👹DEMURE👹’ goes through my head. He’s hilarious.

Oh hey ‘you could just do that, you know’ is almost word for word how that conversation with my wife went. It was a couple years of collecting data points of surety (basically since we met and she’s a good actress) and then a couple months of trying to find the right conversational moment.

Big fair. But you have the chance to combine semi-niche kink knowledge, post nut clarity, and a pun groan and inflict it on your audience. This is great power.
