Guys who convert every emotional experience a game can provide into whinging get extremely upset at the idea of a game being stressful on purpose

The split between player/GM and GM'd/GMless hurts our understanding of player roles in ttrpgs, and our design. They are false binaries that we sort games into based on what "feels right," without actually being very useful terms for understanding dynamics in play beyond a base level.

If someone took the time to acquire your book and start reading it, you can do them the favor of assuming they are functionally literate.

a rulebook should never give players 'permission' to change or break the rules -- the 'permission' is inherent in the fact that it's an inanimate object that can't do anything to stop you. it's at once condescending to the players and denigrating to your own design work

The first barrier to learning a new thing is the hardest, but that is completely independent of the barrier itself. You won't solve the problem by making the barrier smaller.

A computer can never be horny, therefore a computer cannot make art.
We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

It really helps you as a designer to just do the math out. 5% chance to occur is one in twenty. For a group of four players - if each makes five or more rolls there is a high likelyhood someone will experience a 5% fumble.

I'd be remiss without mentioning that one of the shells is fat as fuck an explodes. Real freaks like Cold Symmetry understand that if you're going to make a sick nasty world you need to be able to play as freaks.

In WINTRY SQUAMA a lesbian surreal Underworld awaits you. A titan witch follows the trail of a fallen goddess. A swan-knight searches for Her in every ghost of a woman. An impossible dream bothers the court of its goddess. Ruin colonizes the afterlife. cyberneticcoven.itch.io/wintry-squama

People are so willing to forgive a company for fucking up because the organization disperses accountability across so many people that blame cannot be assigned despite the fact that the company structure inherently converts every individual into fucking up.

This is why Noi is such an incredible character because she's not playing against type - she is a huge dumb jock with a childish crush on her handler.

It's easy to make a stupid argument when you tilt the scales. Let's fix it Five Finger Death Punch is a less important part of musical history as Beethoven. To reject that is to reject a wholistic[sic] understanding of music as a medium.

I feel like everyone but me is out of it cause I found GK 1 to be completely soulless. Surely there should be *any* reaction - within and outside of the game - about a game where you make ground beef out of corpses and sell it to people while curating a graveyard with every evil action that implies.

Things I'm liking about Mortal Shell 2: -bear traps are fucking ridiculous, I yell every time i walk into one and cheer every time an enemy walks into one - I was fighting a boss and he jumped off a cliff and died Thing I'm eh on - I feel like I've seen every enemy already

Having some deeper thoughts about this and the way we fetishize experience in the ttrpg hobby - which strikes me as misguided considering you could categorize a majority of players as being self-taught. Ten thousand Henry Darger's bragging over who made the most drawings.

Enjoying Mortal Shell II, not sure if I love it. While it's got solid fundamentals it flops in two key areas that make soulslikes really enjoyable. 1) it significantly handicaps you at the start with limited weapon options 2) every enemy is always gonna fuck you up so you never care about losing XP
