Hi! I'm Ishmael and I am completely new to Bluesky! I am looking for 800 of my closest friends hashtag year of the smile :)
I finished Space Marines 2 last night. The game was fun; story mid. The way the final crisis gets resolved seems a bit dumb and contrived. The side operations that tied into the main story are fun but the characters infinitely forgettable. I didn't bother to finish the post-story operations.

I didn't know Ludic Pen was based out of Venezuela. Ancient Wonders is one of my favorite space game supplements of all time, and you all know how I am with my space TTRPGs.
"Solidarity and creativity can be powerful forces, especially when the world around you feels uncertain and everything else is literally crumbling. Create, create, create; build amidst the crumbling."

Sure, my health insurance premium doubled, but at least my new plan grants me the honor and duty to pay two grand a month for my prescription.

"'What is the smallest British military force that would be of any practical assistance to you'” Wilson asked.
Like a rapier flash came Foch’s reply, 'A single British soldier—and we will see to it that he is killed.'"

Finding the reactions to this bleakly funny. Lads, the point isn’t that you are sending enough people to “win”, because we in fact, can’t win. It is just to have a tripwire! If you are going “why not 13, like Germany?” you have not understood how bad things are.

In an alternate universe, mad vampiric scientists of the Ordo Dracul are pioneering a new branch of the Coil of the Wyrm. What better way to tame the Beast than forming a bulwark of human souls around the kindred's own? One mystic seeks to go further.
Vampire the Masquerade's Gehenna War is part of a far-reaching conspiracy beyond even the control of the antediluvians. In a hollowed out factory in Gary overlooking Lake Michigan, a free ghoul and her kindred lover have taken the first step toward CARTHAGE: diablerie of the human soul.

It’s almost as if this unverifiable story about how women are ruining this fandom space, written by a guy who finds ways to blame women upon any questioning about the validity of the story, was a fake story designed to generate outrage towards women by someone who has a problem with them

One of the main goals for Lex Ecclesiastica's class abilities is to make you feel REAL BAD about using them, but also feel kinda cool saying a grandiose, overwrought ability name. The SIsters are *not* good people, they're not nice at all. They are what I imagine paladins to be in high fantasy.

I started getting into Deviant again because there were posts going around on Reddit about the new Black Vans supplement. So, got Black Vans, read it, and now I get it. I love Deviant now.
I read Deviant: The Renegade (for realsies) this week and reread Trinity and I think Onyx Path's house style is a bit offputting. Deviant's a thick read and is, pretty much, a Superhero TTRPG. Superhero TTRPGs, in my opinion, have cracked the code on how to make their power creation systems readable

An interesting trend I've seen on my fyp is D&D players reinventing problematic stuff from first principles.
"my group rolls for how hot the NPCs are"
Ma'am you're table reinvented the comliness stat and there was a reason "we" got rid of it.

Licensed WH40k game where you play the guy who has to build and manage the supply lines for an Imperial Guard campaign. Your goal is to survive the war without being killed by the enemy or one of fifty allied factions.

In my Warhammer 40k audiobook era again and I think this is the first time I've heard the internal thoughts of a space marine (more of a Gaunt's Ghosts girlie) and boy these guys are dipshits.

I read this yesterday and it is absolutely wonderful. It is tightly and thoughtfully written. Hipólita, as usual, knocked it out of the park.
