I think we’ve all agreed that since they self reported and didn’t gain a material sporting advantage, it’s cool. Nothing to see here.

I don’t wish to sound (overly) snarky. These are genuine questions. Because if I presented an apparent series of buzzwords linked by a rhombus at my job, it would not go down well. And my job is significantly less challenging than planning to win wars.

I think most people’s problem is that the slide doesn’t appear to say anything. Are Strike and Close Battle opposites in this model of warfare? They seem to me to be sequential. Which factors link Endurance? How is this better than each term as a list of bullet points?

Tried this and got "probably owns a juicer". Like, the one I bought from you, amazon, maybe? This surveillance state isn't as terrifying as it might be.

was talking about GM prep in a chat with pals and I think this is my main take on it really lmao this is what it boils down to
A discord message where I say "good session prep feels like wrapping nice presents for your friends like 'oooooh tee hee I can't wait for them to open THIS one'".

Had fun bringing my Duinhir to this evening’s Lord of the Rings stream. Always a treat to play rather than GM.

Archer came and spoke to my school in the 1980s. Charm personified. Bragged at length about his many achievements and then... something bizarre happened. 1/3 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Seized by the desire to do a Warhammer 40k fishing game. Massive rusting cybergothic space trawlers dragging chaos-warped gigawhales out of the stygian abyss of the ocean. Tyranid shark-fleets. Eldar anglers with wraith bone fishing rods and monofilament lines. Orks with shotguns like Withnail.

Anyone out there know of a D&D/TTRPG club around Tamworth (West Midlands, UK)?

The D20 Future Show @d20futureshow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Nobody is blaming you for the discourse coming round to fudging. It might even be my fault (if fault is the word). It amuses me that TTRPG discourse can be so cyclical. I don’t even think that those discussions are invalid.

The D20 Future Show @d20futureshow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
And buying re-rolls for charity has a bit of an “ick” factor for me too. In an actual play performance: different. But just a game at the table? No thanks.

This is a tremendously tangential discussion to your (perfectly valid) comments about the shared moments created by everyone seeing the dice rolled.

It was fine. Was it any better than other starter adventures I have played/run? I’m not sure.

Lost Mines of Phandelver is the 5E (2014) starter set adventure. At least until it was replaced with the Essentials Kit. Then it was given away for free. Not sure if it has been updated for 5.5.

Spawning a thousand think pieces from the gutter press about why not a British commission painter, totally missing the point (stealing from the taxpayers) but eventually force the minister to resign.

Fudging. Fudging dice rolls. Argh!

But people find their fun in different places. And, of course, their experience of “roll play” may have been a bunch of terrible bores arguing over situational bonuses and getting stomped because their character wasn’t min/maxed perfectly.

Mark your calendars everyone. BlueSky TTRPG discourse has come round to funding dice rolls again.
In the style of the NOW albums, an image that says Now that’s what I call my latest contribution to TTRPG discourse.

I mostly reserve the right to fudge to protect new players (or other players who are not having a good time because the dice are just against them). But it is also a handy tool to get combats to finish in time to bring a session to a satisfying end.

The D20 Future Show @d20futureshow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I do this sort of thing very rarely. We are playing a game after all. But I do reserve the right to protect the game from the dice.

Every AI/HCI paper I review now just sounds like this.
Research [25] shows that people [26] enjoy the feeling of winning games [3,5,19]. Enjoying things can lead to longer life expectancy [2], higher economic productivity [9,22,33-40,302] and improve mental health [9]. Yet many games still include losing players [67,4]. A recent study showed that less than half of the players in a Chess [1] match win on average [42]. We have developed an LLM-driven co-creative [66], user-led [11], mixed-initiative [80] assistant for Chess [2], through which players can redefine the rules of Chess [3] using generative AI prompting such that they are the winner of Chess [4]. A study (n=3) showed that 100\% of people felt better, healthier and more self-actualised after using our tool, showing that this may be the way forward for games and human culture more broadly in the future.
