A reminder: TTRPG Actual Play has been compared to reality tv, professional team sports, pro wrestling, audio drama, early television, & more — all for MANY years. Its roots are many & include a wide variety of other play & performance practices, & the phrase derives from play reporting practices.

Man, ppl filming their process and then ending vids w/ artwork I never could have imagined is THE STUFF. Watched a dude create dyes from leaves near his house for a knitting project . A person who made stop motion animation with slabs of clay cut into pieces where each piece is a single frame. Like!

That makes a lot of sense It’s mutable and created in real time, while most games and other media are fixed and created before consumption. The rule set is the basis for the structure but it’s not the structure The evolving interaction between the players, GM, and rule set is the structure

After more discussion with my gaming group, I think the core of any activity that we do that’s “unnecessary” for mere survival, like a game, is enjoyment and self-expression. That’s not specific to TTRPGs tho I would be interested to hear your thoughts

What do you think they are about? (genuine, sincere question and not looking for a specific answer) If I think of another medium like a musical, people come for the story but the core is the music, which has many layers to it that work together to allow the story to be told

I must not dunk. Dunking is the riff-killer. Dunking is the easy path that brings discourse. I will face the dunk. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn my mind to seek the riff. Where the dunk has gone there will be nothing. Only the riff will remain

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

@vincentdonofrio
Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure
this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.l want 2b treated that kindly and
see the stars for the first time.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

My primary local-politics thing is "How can we get the libraries more money?" Most librarians I've asked have said that beyond voting for local library taxes, the most effective way is to *use the library*. Usage rates determine a lot of funding.
