suggestion: you should try vampire the masquerade the V6 alpha playtest is even set up to accomodate solo play, if you can't find a group for another edition

That's why I like getting revenge clears on games kid me couldn't beat. Lets him sleep at night, so he can worry about other things, like why we're a woman now.

Wish more people understood that they don't know, know a famous person.
My 7 year old heard me say that DP died and got very sad.  I was surprised she knew the name.
You know DP?  I don't know know her. But she sent me books.

Just got to play my first game of #VTM #V6. LOVED it. Thanks @hacheron.bsky.social ! In about 17 hours I get to run it for my Amsterdam 1642 campaign 😎🌷🇳🇱 I'm excited to write feedback on this one. The system isn't perfect but that's what an alpha is for. And most importantly, it's fun. Good bones!

Dice rolls from a Daggerheart game. An attack roll of 16 was made against the players, and affected targets were hit for 307 damage.

I need to get off of reddit. The TTRPG subs are overrun with V6 drama, and the flagrant misinformation is exhausting. "I heard they're getting rid of Hunger Dice and Predator Types and Touchstones, and by that point, is it even Vampire???" Yes. Yes. Yes. There's NEW systems that do the SAME THING

THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1985
PERSONAL
'Industrial music' emits the sounds of junk yard
Dear Ann Landers: I was interested in that column
about rock music and how parents were upset by the dirty lyrics. According to the Wall Street Journal, noise levels might produce the most damage.
It is my belief that the younger generation has gone bananas.
Diane Petzke reports that junk rock (also known as industrial music) is produced by scrap metal, car parts and air-conditioning ducts rather than by guitars and drums. Any object that can be made to emit a sound when coaxed with an aluminum pipe, a lead mallet or a power drill qualifies. And if the sound is reminiscent of a garbage truck at 5 a.m., this is intentional.
One group uses a pneumatic drill that screeches like several thousand long fingernails dragged across a chalkboard. Then one hears the slamming of a drum pedal against a 500-gallon storage tank. A skinny young man screams in German amid a collec-tion of dented car doors, a cement mixer and a re-frigerator scavenged for the occasion, ready to be banged, drilled and scraped.
A Milwaukee group called Boy Dirt Car uses junk-
yard items or special sound effects in a record album called "Catalyst." It was recorded beneath an underpass in an old Schlitz brewery.
"Machine Age Voodoo" uses airplane wings. crushed glass in mosquito netting and a shotgun.
If all this doesn't add up to a mass nervous break-down and the desecration of everything sacred in the world of music, I miss my guess. No signature-Just Disgusted (A Father In Rhode Island)
Dear Rhode Island: Cool it, Dad. This, too, shall
pass. Let us hope it doesn't produce a few million deaf kids in the process. Aside from the hearing loss I see no danger of mistaking this trash for music long enough to make an impact on anyone.
Ann Landers

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.
