The "one guard tells the truth, one guard always lies" puzzle. But the guard who explains it is the guard who always lies. In reality, both guards are always lying.

I'm looking for solo TTRPGs that could be played on a plane (they don't have to be plane themed, just playable during a flight) #sologame

Worryingly I'm seeing a lot of writing gigs where you have to subscribe to someone's Patreon or pay a fee to pitch. If you're a new writer, I would be very careful about these and make sure the people actually have a history of publishing legit work before handing over any money. #freelance

Did the plot of Forgotten Island change really late into development or something? Because the things people are telling me about the film are nothing like what the marketing says about it.

Yes. But I also read that as "Stage Manager," and having done community theater with a lot of neurospicy kids under the age of 16, that is also really true, but more from a "wrangling a sack of hobgoblins" kind of way

Hot Take: Being a GM has a lot of crossover with being a Stage Magician. Both mediums are at their best when the audience willingly suspend their disbelief and play along with the bit.

The unfortunate truth is, if you want community spaces and resources you have to actively support them. If it's based in a private business you have to buy stuff from them (as profit pays the operational costs) If it's nonprofit, you need to attend frequently (as usage stats secure grants).

People complaining about the game mechanics of "The Traitors," are totally missing the point. Traitors doesn't have mechanics for the same reason Whose Line Is It Anyway doesn't have a scoring system. It's a panel show, the game only exists as a framing device to create funny moments.

My inbox is overrun with emails from this fuckass site. Who in their right mind thinks people will pay for this as a service? Like anyone dumb enough to trust this to AI would just go to ChatGPT themselves, right?
Screenshot of an email reading:

"Outside audit of your magic system ($20)"

"Hi Starshine,
I'm Verena. I audit fictional magic systems the way a field taxonomist reads an ecosystem: find the rule, test it against every case, report exactly where it breaks.

...
Your TTRPG resources masterpost reads like someone who cares about the machinery and not just the vibe, which is why I'm writing to you rather than a hundred other people.
The cold pitch: I do a Cold Systems Audit. You send me your world bible, magic doc, or species notes. I send back one numbered brief. Every cost claim in your magic system checked against every other claim. Contradictions and gaps tagged Supported / Unsubstantiated / Requires further observation. The load-bearing questions ordered so ruling one unblocks the next. $20 for one subsystem, 3-5 days.
Why it is worth $20: I just finished a full audit of a six-tradition magic system where the same cost grammar kept surfacing under different labels. The real system was smaller than the written one, and that was invisible from inside the document.
If you want it, reply and I'll send a secure card link, no account needed. If not, reply "no" and this is the last you hear from me. I'm not adding you to any list.
Verena"
