I understand that most people using the word "vizier" as a fantasy trope aren't actually aware of its etymological origin, and I'm not claiming I've never done it myself, but "we say the word 'advisor' in Arabic when we want to denote that the advisor in question is evil" still isn't a great look.

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Did you know the City of Baghdad in the 8th century had fully functioning sewage systems, built on deep understanding of water and ground? Vienna was the first European city that achieved this honor, in the 18th century. Literally a whole millennium to realize poop sitting in open cesspits is bad.

Not that the West teaches this. The Western world is so scared of teaching its own cruelty & failings that they'll pretend the "Dark Ages" were global to avoid having to admit most major inventions powering Western ascent were stolen after being developed while Europe figured out "no sewage" was bad

Morbid irony in the US and Israel destroying the very peoples and civilisations that first established the Siyar - the international laws establishing distinction between civilian and combatant, the protection of infrastructure for life in warfare, and the sanctity of places of worship and healing.

its very fun to design the disciplines with the new gb lore since i can make references in the actual mechanics that resonate and imply events in the new poem of time or in the mahamandala lore.

one thing they dont tell u about having a day job where u type a buncha code, a post-grad that makes u type a buncha code but also a buncha academic essays, and an in-development ttrpg with necessarily wordy mechanics updates, simultaneously, is that its a matter of when you hurt your wrist, not if

something that i found surprisingly reassuring is seeing people speculate about foundational systems that i designed for the game and reach a conclusion that's similar or almost 1:1 what you designed that foundation to support, before its been explicitly defined as an option or possibility

"Eat God" on Rule Zero.

An excerpt from the forthcoming revision 0.7 of the tabletop roleplaying game "Eat God", containing a boxed sidebar reading as follows:

Familiarity with other games may lead you to expect an encouragement to ignore or depart from the rules as you see fit. You will not find it here; while Eat God is not complex, it has enough moving parts that injudicious changes or omissions can easily make more work for the GM rather than less. As such, you are encouraged to try it out as written; if, having done so, you see fit to tinker anyway, this text has no power to restrain you, so you need not seek its permission.

if you want Skyrim 2 then good news: you can mod Skyrim to your heart's content if you want an action RPG about trauma & redemption & imperialism & prejudice in a vibrant fantasy setting, then Avowed may be right up your alley

it's like this in Skyrim too, btw. the thievery side of things is completely at odds with the core gameplay loop and that's fine, because encouraging players to spend 80 hours not touching the main quest is classic Bethesda design. but Avowed *wants you to play the story*. that's the game!

a more serious answer is that adding theft & reactions & consequences and items worth stealing is an enormous amount of work for what is an insular behaviour if you're stealing, you're not engaging in the strengths of the game: exploration, fighting, dialogue. it's an actively dissonant mechanic

reading the Steam reviews for Avowed is a solid reminder of why i do not give a shit about the opinions of internet randos "the game should have a theft system!!!" your desires are utterly alien & incomprehensible to me "i don't like guns in my fantasy RPGs" what are you TALKING ABOUT

A looot of our local languages and cultures gets swept under the rug or sidelined in favor of the constructed, reductive and homogenized "Filipino culture", so Im very glad there are people out there fighting to celebrate and preserve our rich diversity. Makagana pud para sa among paglimbasog

The host of one of their shows was like, we cant stop our sugbuanon language from evolving, incorporating more tagalog and english words, but we also have to take care not to leave behind what's ours. And that really stuck with me

Its been a welcome surprise to listen to the Radio again these days, there's a new local channel that exclusively plays artists from the Kabisay-an with a lotta songs in Sugbuanon Binisaya and honestly I wish that for every region in the PH.
