we here at Earthborne Games deal with a number of issues plaguing the tabletop game industry, but this one definitely takes the cake.

don't get me wrong, I'm actually quite happy with the recent Bungie/Marathon news regarding season 3 being pushed to December with a slew of new, highly requested features... ...and if Marathon dies before now and then because of a bunch of impatient, loudmouthed "influencers", I'm going to RIOT.

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.

For those who might have forgotten, Dolly was always punk as fuck
"I made jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know who she was, just this woman who was blonde and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Mama used to say, 'Aw, she's just trash,' and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash."

a couple weeks ago I left my sunglasses at my therapist's office so when I went to therapy this week I thought to myself: gotta remember to grab them while I'm there not only did I forget to grab them, I left yet another pair of sunglasses there this has been a metaphor for my entire adult life

the whole "purpose" of warfare is to extract political concessions from your opponent, but despite claiming they've won the war in Iran dozens of times, Republicans have put us in a position where we're the ones making concessions just to get what we already had. colossal fucking imbeciles.
