I love this thread. The 60s Batman TV series is one of the few shows from my childhood that doesn’t just hold up for me, I can appreciate it more fully *as* an adult. I see how truly great the performances, writing, cinematography, costuming, and visual design are. It’s genuinely Good.

You cannot design away bad players in a tabletop rpg. You cannot build enough guard rails to stop bad faith play. The only rule that helps is, "Play With Better People." Because those guard rails suck for every good faith player that has to bump into them, design for the people who WANT to PLAY.

I am the very model of a racist academical,
With footnotes and citations to make bigotry seem credible,

I traffic in ideas that have long since been discredited,
Like human races being real and IQ is inherited!

My gender ideology is thuggery and piggery,

If criticized it’s academic freedom I will hide behind,
My high and mighty principles shan’t be questioned by your tiny mind!
