Also Strixhaven uses mascots as the capture-the-flag flag in their Legally Distinct Wizard Game. That strikes me as both 1) supremely undignified for the ancient statue guy and 2) unfair for the team who has to carry an approximately human-sized pile of rocks instead of a somewhat large bug

It's weird that most of the Strixhaven mascots are pet-like or at least potentially pet-like, but Spirit Statues are functionally just like, a guy. Like a statue reanimated with a spirit, but functionally just a dude, right?

Seeing someone who's really into ttrpgs but never played a board game or videogame is like finding a writer who exclusively writes in iambic pentameter

something that continues to shock me is how many of my peers do not consider the cross-disciplinary value of games outside of ttrpgs

Went to Powell's while visiting my sister this weekend and it was so surreal to see Pathfinder High Seas on the shelf. Like, I'd already seen it in game stores and stuff, but seeing a book I worked on in one of the coolest bookstores ever was wild

(3/3) Critically, the TONE of the flashbacks is 100% congruent with the source material's wacky kid comedy genre – we provide only the gentlest hints that maybe that's just how the lead is forcing themselves to remember it, and leave the ambiguity completely unaddressed in the text.

(2/3) Instead of being a traumatised military veteran or having a Dead Wife or whatnot, he's having war flashbacks to the time when he was nine years old and he was forced to kill a dude in self-defence via some Rube Goldberg bullshit involving a shower curtain, a bag of marbles, and a toaster.

"Action movie where the protagonist is the kid from 'Home Alone' all grown up" has been proposed many times as a wacky genre subversion, but I think it actually has more legs if it plays the conventions of the action movie genre straight: the "Home Alone" shit is the lead's *tragic backstory*.

So, Portland airport has a free theater that plays local student short films and the other day I sat in on a few and there was one that was really impressive. And I wanted to share it bc like, yeah it's clearly a student film but tbh this kid who directed it is really advanced for a high schooler.

The reason Romance has become reviled is that it lacks a critical apparatus. Shakespeare wrote Romance. The Brontes. Austen. Graham Greene. There are people just as good working today, I'm sure, but the industry is fully fandom-captured, and, like all fandoms, theirs is stupid and conservative.

Feel like a lot of pbta discourse could be headed off by looking at bad pbta games as bad games first and foremost rather than examples of a bad framework. I kinda wonder though if part of the confusion comes from the other big RPG acronym of that era, OSR, being a framework for making variants of

I love how Dani is drawn in these panels so I had to make a doodle
ID: two New Mutants panels of Dani Moonstar and Doug Ramsey. In the second, Dani is drawn close up and looks glamorous.
Text: 
Doug Ramsey: I FEEL LIKE AN OUTCAST. OR A CONVICT, IN THIS PRISON FOR LIFE.
Dani Moonstar: YOU THINK YOU'RE ALONE IN THAT REGARD, DOUGLAS? A WHILE BACK, I ASKED MYSELF, WHICH AM I--CHEYENNE, MUTANT, VALKYRIE, PLAIN OLD ORDINARY GIRL? I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER. MAYBE I NEVER WILL.ID: a doodle drawing of a very crudely-drawn Doug Ramsey and a doodle of Dani Moonstar with flowing hair and sparkles.
Doug: I’m sad, Dani.
Dani: You think you’re the only one who’s sad, Doug?

Designs not final but here's a closer look at those cards :)
A mockup of four tarot cards floating against a rough gradient. On top is "XXI - Judgement", featuring three eyes stacked on top of one another with a beam of light descending from the bottom. Second is "XVII - The Star," featuring a ring of light at the top and three small glowing dots toward the bottom. Below is "IX - The Hermit", featuring a cloth-like/candle-like figure with a glowing light hovering above it. At the bottom is a draft of the card back, all black with a thin white border and a vertical line of phases of the moon.

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

There is a second way to prevent this from disrupting your reading experience: focus on the things you were already focusing on in your reading approach, and leave the AI paranoia at home. You can oppose AI gen literature w/o treating "accidentally liking something AI gen" as making you Unclean.
