Fable makes an incredibly good point. My gender and skin color goes a long way to keeping problematic players in check.

Some guy on Reddit doesn't believe that I've run RPGs for 150+ strangers and never had a problem. I'll tell you my secrets: 1) Don't run D&D. Problem players love D&D. I can't explain it, but it's true. 2) Run games at the queer meetup. Gay people are nicer that straight people, it's just a fact.

I just released a new game! Have you ever wanted to solve mysteries like Harriet the Spy or Nancy Drew? Kid Detectives is about kids solving mysteries in the sleepy town of Ida Falls. Meanwhile, a deeper conspiracy lurks. The adults are up to No Good and it's up to you to uncover their secrets!

My biggest TTRPG pet peeve is when people can't distinguish their experience of a system with the text of the system. I don't care if your cookies are delicious, it's a goddamn brownie recipe. Don't get mad at me for pointing out that you're not reading the recipe

Just for the record, I've never played Neopets and I know nothing about it. Apparently it's kinda like D&D 5e?

This story also a terrible look for Steve Jackson Games. Either SJGs signed a deal with Jay without understanding the contract obligations (stupid but okay) or they understand the obligations but decided they could lawyer the artists into submission (outright evil and it exactly what happened).

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

Newsom aspires to be the JD Vance of the Left. Newsom is the villain of a Disney Channel movie that nobody watched. Newsom is what you get when you put chalk and store-brand skim milk in a blender and hit the "don't quite blend" setting.

Honestly I don't even care if you play a bunch of different games. Just acknowledge that different genres of TTRPGs exist! I don't like horror movies but I'm not over here saying, "Movies where the main characters die aren't real movies."

OSR is when you have a massive white beard and complain about how new games have incentives. NSR is when you have a massive white beard and complain about how new games have incentives, but with leftie politics.

Some people believe you have to play the most up to date edition. Meanwhile there's a basement full of grognards who are still playing the original three booklet D&D set that came in a wooden box.

Side note, this is why I find the "well you can certainly try" GM utterance so damn annoying. All it tells me is that the target number is high. I don't care about big numbers, I care about big consequences!

Today's Esoteric RPG Take: Narrative difficulty is more interesting than mathematically difficulty. A greater consequence is more fun than a higher target number. It's the difference between "You can try, but the target number is 20" and "You can try, but if you fail everyone you know will die."

Today's Mildest Take: TTRPG discourse would be a thousand times better if people played more games. And not just "D&D and Pathfinder" or "Monster of the Week and Thirsty Sword Lesbians". I mean more types of games, with different play styles. A lot of people sound like the Boss Baby meme.

Game mechanics communicate what the game is about. You don't have to listen, but the message is still there. Gold for XP games are about looting. You can play a murder mystery in B/X. That just means you're ignoring the designers intent. Which is fine! It's your game, do what you want.

Rock Paper Scissors World Championships It's the rock paper scissors world championship finals. The PCs are the finalists. You're also in interlocking love triangles. The only game mechanic is rock paper scissors. If you lose you can rethrow but only if you make out with another player, irl.

As an RPG nerd and blues lover, this whole analogy is *chef's kiss*. Into the Odd is Fantastic Negrito. Shadowdark is Blues Traveler. Carin is Keb Mo. DCC is the all-star band from the end of Blues Brothers 2000.
