iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Response from someone in my RPG group to my proposal to run some Call of Cthulhu. I’ve never intentionally created a no-win, TPK situation. But they *have* happened.

“Many lesser GMs craft an adventure for the entertainment of the players… you’re a macrocosmic extremist who won’t bend the world for any reason.

PCs: want to win
Hunting Horror: gotta eat!

Both considerations are equal to you, which is why you’re (a psychopath) fair and arbitrary.”

If you don’t have scenery like this you hate yourself and/or your players. And between therapy and purchase, one is dramatically cheaper.

Just me, sipping vodka, examining my quirks and hurdles, seeing or imagining them in my parents, wondering how much is insight and how much wanting to belong.

Why’s this prick taking ADHD meds when he doesn’t need to? Lots of genuine sufferers can’t get access.

Popped to De Montfort Uni to have a poke around #BritCon. Social battery was low so I didn’t stay long, but picked up a couple of things b from Old Crow Models and SMFX.

Post-apocalyptic objectives (toilet+traffic cone, pallets+luggage, weapon/ammo crates, armchair, filing cabinet)

Emplaced sci-fi turret with twin chain guns
