Badlands matches pretty well for the hard work theme on both accounts!

I'm in over my head. What Springsteen track would be the theme song of an abulance driver who moonlights as a wrestler?

Why didn't these kinds of moves— Pick 3, pick 2, pick 1 Pick 2, pick 1, pick none Exceptional success, success, compromise — become "how PbtA works"? Like I say, I think it's obvious why, but choosing one move to be "how PbtA works" at all was the first mistake.

Imagine looking at the media landscape—music, books, movies—and concluding that it would be better if it were all simply infinite reflections of yourself, if you never had to be exposed to another personality, another experience, another life. Just you, you, you. Sounds fucking horrifying.

God. Citizen Sleeper. It made me cry. It felt made for me in a very specific way and in ways that I could've never predicted. And Big Walk, well. Big Walk is like a flower crown placed on top of my time in the online role-playing community. The people I've met and have gotten to know. ❤️

RedCat, Pokémon, Def Jam, and Portal mark very specific times of my life, like some media can do (like Fullmetal Alchemist and House MD, for me). Me and my partner played through Obra Dinn together while we were falling in love, so that excellent game also has a very special place for me.

That Paper Mario game is just so full of interesting, fun, smart stuff. We were a detective household, so the send up of Agatha Christie really hit the spot, and I also remember the wrestling saga fondly. O! And the challenging last boss fight that was about as Final Fantasy as I will ever handle.

Yoshi's Island might be the only video game I've ever 100 percented. That love came early, and it took quite the summer holiday to get it done.

I believe December is talking about the extraction shooter videogame not the long-distance foot race, but just so you know: the honest confusion warmed my heart.

I've been talking about play style preferences lately, but there's another aspect of table culture that I think is a key determining factor on whether a gaming table stays together. Whether you're playing Cairn, Mothership, or Vampire. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/ttrpg-table-...

It's great, and the extended anecdote about his parents stealing a, uh, let's say "prop" from the private school they both worked at, is beautiful and hilarious. If, in his next special, Pope manages to integrate his through-line even more tightly into his material, it's going to be a perfect score.

Up to about halfway, you feel like this is the hour of a very charming, fast-talking book seller that might not have a whole lot to say, but then Pope starts to tie his digressions back into the main story of the special: not the eponymous cut of his member, but his father's Parkinson's disease.

Pope's strongest comedic chop is the art of the interjection. Just that little 'classic combo' he wiggles in there when he talks about his parents being a mom and a dad. He's also adept at metaphors, calling books 'a podcast you can touch' or CDs 'a frisbee that could sing'.

I watched Ben Pope's excellent special in the bath yesterday. It's an ode to his father cleverly disguised as a confessional about his own medical circumcision. I can't log it on @letterboxd.social, regrettably, but it would've gotten: ⭐⭐⭐⭐🧡

Screenshot of the 3 pages of the game in the Affinity layout program. Most of the rules fit on a trifold borchure, with another apge for a grid map and scoring.

Just to be up front: I haven't played The Watch before. But I want to! The game that inspired it—Night Witches—is one of the best I've ever played and I really want to see how Ash took its parts and made it into a genderful space game about war. If that sounds cool to you too, consider pledging:
