Fantastic thread on a common misread of move structure. Practically required reading for folks interested at all in PBTA design.

When it comes to TTRPG mechanics, "good/bad design" and your personal preferences aren't the same thing.

I see some negative reviews for "friendslop" games saying they are only fun for like 5 hours. I've dropped $35 to spent 45 minutes in an escape room. I'm more than happy to drop $7 for 5 hours of laughter and fun with my friends. Slop me up.

My partner just explained everything about Wonka's The Golden Ticket to me, and I've never hated a show this much without even seeing a trailer for it. AI Gene Wilder voice, cash prize for winner, and the contestants are all fairly affluent adults and no kids (you know, the focus of the movie)

I couldn't handle it. I needed a break from Dungeon Crawler Carl. Book 5 was just...look, I have opinions, but I'll get back to it. Probably. Instead I'm revisiting Terry Pratchett with "Guards! Guards!" and I have not a single regret. Sam Vimes is how you make an abrasive MC you can cheer for.

Alright here goes.... Boundless is being crowdfunded in February, but here's a surprise: you can get the full game and play today! I worked closely with Backerkit to offer a new way for you to "reserve" your digital copy of the game at a big discount that would count towards the total fund goal!

I understand that pro sports are a huge part of culture but it is hard to watch the way they are treated with sanctity even above the lives of human beings. That is morally wrong, unambiguously. We should sacrifice Zero human lives for professional sports.

As a player? Make strong choices. In improv, we have to teach people to stop making milquetoast decisions and to care strongly about what’s happening in the scene. I see so many players making decisions where nothing happens You’re playing people who go out and do things. So go out and do things.

Back in the day, I exclusively used this huge, off-set trackball mouse. Loved it for a decade, but it finally bit the dust. When I looked for an identical one, there were none, so I've used a "normal" mouse for the last 8 or so years. But then I looked again...and the style is back and improved!

Dear clients, When your invoice is "due by [insert date]" and that date falls on a holiday which would prevent your bank from transferring, saying "Your payment will be late due to the holiday"...no. You could have paid any day before that. Due BY, not "on." By! Keep this up, and it will be "bye."

I'm all for folks having strong preferences for ttrpg mechanics, tropes, etc... I'm NOT for language that suggests that people who run counter to those preferences are somehow wrong/"dumb"/lesser. And I'm definitely not a fan of how often I see that shit happening on here.

"Oh don't worry, I'm unaffected by the AI we used. It only affected the people I don't give a shit about." Gal, are you sure they didn't replace your performance with a lifeless, flat AI replacement? I'm not sure I could tell the difference...

An AV Club article snippet, showing an image of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and the great paragraph which says:

Gal Gadot may be done with Wonder Woman, but she has crypto and artificial intelligence in her future. In fact, the unholy marriage of those two things—an AI-assisted movie called Bitcoin from director Doug Liman and actors Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher—is next on Gadot’s docket. The AI use, Gadot says on her recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, is strictly to replace below-the-line workers like set and lighting workers. “As far as the performances, it’s all me,” Gadot says.

After six sessions of Public Access, I can now confirm that it is, without a doubt, one of my Top 3 TTRPGs of all time. Every session has been getting better than the last, the pacing structure is helpful but also easy to alter for situations, and the tension and excitement at our table is great.

Social media platforms actually do allow you to post calls for violence pretty directly, it just has to be against marginalized people. If it's against oppressors, that's illegal.

I get the aversion to the front few rows in normal cinemas, but if your theater has the big, reclining seats, those front rows (except the very front) rule. If you don't agree, good. Just means I'll always get my preferred spot. Enjoy the nosebleeds!

I would become so entirely and overwhelmingly depressed if I realized one day that I had become reliant on AI. How useless would I have become that I couldn't imagine working without it? It would destroy me. Thankfully, *somehow* I manage to live happily avoiding AI as best I can. HOW DO I DO IT!?
