contrast with trusting in big, centralized entities. We've been burnt by that many times now. Neither system is perfect, but I believe #decentralized gives more power to the people. I say we try more of that for a bit and see how it goes :]

I mean yeah, smaller, decentralized authorities have the typical disadvantages of becoming stale, abandoned or taken over; they're usually maintained by individuals in their free time, etc... But that's just like open source projects, and that's been working pretty good for decades now.

Why would you trust a single, central entity (like Bluesky corp in this case) to give "blue checks" based on some arbitrary method or classification? Wouldn't it be better if a community driven entity or group decided to check veracity based on interests by subculture/niche? (via the Labels system)

re: #accountVerification IMHO it should be decentralized. Domain verification is a nice one; it should be one of many systems. Community driven labels should be the way to go here. If you trust the label maintainer, good enough. Specially if/when Bluesky becomes truly decentralized

Sometimes, you don't need to tell a character's back story in lengthy flashbacks. Sometimes, you just need to give them ONE moment so badass, the viewer will instantly know everything they need to know about them.

Is the map or the zine available* digitally? I'm guessing not, after checking the campaign page, but just wanted to check ... ...because buying the whole physical thing will kill my wallet (shipping to South America and all that) * or are there plans to make it available digitally in the future?

ahhhh los webrings de los sitios de los 90's/early 00's! es como que hay una movida de volver a la "old internet" que estoy percibiendo en distintos lados... debería revivir mi blog rolero y armar un webring de blogs roleros (o unirme a alguno que probablemente ya exista).

It is true tho, that lately (~10 ys?) I've been seeing more narrative structure oriented TTRPGs, or things like mechanized arcs and character-driven procedures, etc. Which I like, btw, they taught me how to do that better, and I take those things to apply even when I'm playing more trad RPGs.

I think it mostly depends on the players and their table culture. From experience, I had players really savvy in narrative structure (artsy backgrounds maybe?), actively pursuing "satisfying" beats in the story, while others at the same table were just oblivious of it all but still having good fun.

The part of the “old school” worth reviving has never been THAC0 or fighting orcs in gray corridors but the DIY attitude of design that ceased once D&D grew from being just a Game to being a Brand

[Thread] I have good news and bad news and good news. 😁 Good: The Expanse team has reformed to create a media company, Expanding Universe. Bad: They haven't announced a sequel to The Expanse. Good: They're adapting James S.A. Corey's new sci-fi trilogy into a TV series for Amazon MGM Studios! 1/7

Sadly the left/right dichotomy which the world has settled on has less nuance than AD&D alignments.

new cover art for my #ttrpg DYING SUN. made in Autodesk Sketchbook in an Android Tablet. the game is post-apocalyptic fantasy ala "Dark Sun", "Conan" or "Conqueror of the Barren Earth", with mechanics of the #24XX system by Jason Tocci. you can check it out here: tatooka.itch.io/24xx-dying-sun

A dark-skinned muscular man standing against a red sun, in a harsh red desert landscape with mountains in the background. He's wearing little clothes, a loincloth, a long spear, a shield, and a hand-axe. The title of the cover reads "24XX: LO-FI POST-APOC RPG" and "DYING SUN".

true! but I meant in regards to #24XX sensibilities. Maybe I'm pushing it too much. Not that it's wrong--it might become something on its own--but part of doing a 24XX hack and not an entire new thing is playing within those constraints of rules-lightness and limited space.

excited bc tomorrow I'll playtest a #24XX #ttrpg hack I'm working on, which is basically cheesy Kung Fu movies from the 80's/90's with involved martial arts mechanics and card-revealing rock/paper/scissors style maneuvers. Maybe it's fun, maybe it's too cumbersome and overly complex, we'll see.

The setting was urban fantasy and each of the major arcana represented a named NPC, and also acted as the guide or bane for the PCs. PC "stats" allowed them to "flip" more or less cards in each action check. Never finished past a very early draft, but still toy with the ideas once in a while :)
