Here I was, in the dark, trying to engage in my Sickos Mandated Dude Time, and these fuckin' yucksters deliver an episode that made me laugh so hard it almost woke my wife... which would have interrupted my dude time!

My phone reminded me of this old meme I posted 4 years ago

Recently, one of my closest friends, the funny, talented and kind @ettin.itch.io, lost his mother, after acting as his family's primary care support for a decade. She's why he has a career as a writer. He is trying to cover the costs of her cremation, and needs our support: gofund.me/40f37091a

My wife for years has been saying that the idea bread to use with chili is a tortilla, kept on the side and eaten between chili bites. I have argued against it, till today when I tried it. She isn't home, and has no social media so she must never know

If you haven't tried the Evernight demo yet you really should. If you haven't followed @cempoaloon.bsky.social yet, you should do that too. If you've heard about what we're up to with this and want to support the work, the best way to do that is with a Patreon sub. www.patreon.com/posts/we-did...

Being a gamemaster is a massive responsibility. It was my responsibility to introduce a pack of garou into my VTM chronicle. They got the players attention by playing street hockey at midnight and flying a sign that said "Ask me about my Primogen."

The Law of Conservation of Characters and Locations There's the urge to make a new character or room whenever you need one, and sometimes you do! But also keep track of all the characters and rooms you've made so far; could you use one you've already established instead?

Today, in my glamorous life as a man of letters, I’m ordering a wrist cushion off Etsy as a legitimate business expense and suggesting in some Delta Green editing that threats in DG need to “refute or interrogate something that makes human life worthwhile.”

Behold! The Critics strut the stage and prepare their scene, will they lampoon or lambast Masks of The Leviathan? Watch on! open.substack.com/pub/splitpar...

If you say “heritage not hate” 3 times in front of a mirror, William Sherman will appear and burn your house down…

My prince told me neonates keep breaching the Masquerade and she says that she just goes to the disco and gets a new coterie to blood hunt the breacher so I said it sounds like she is just feeding the Masquerade to neonates and then her harpy started crying

Whenever one of my regular tabletop players ask why I did extra work to make something mechanically and thematically relevant.

fun fact, I'm running an FFG Force and Destiny Game. Its real good.

"You see, most Viltrumites have a mixture of Indestructible and Extra Tough, this means that while they ignore some damage, they are also just uniquely predisposed to soak a lot of visible damage." actual sentences I have said while watching the show

There's a whole genre of short form video guy out there reacting to the newest episode of Invincible and Spoiler Alert are shocked that Mark didn't win the fight against Conquest by out muscling him, but instead by outlasting him. My Child of Argall, did you not read the name of the show?

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

i went on anime sickos podcast recently and had a blast. please check it out! they’re such a great show

Well, there's only one thing you can do. Go forth, and die in this place

Hey gang, I'm migrating from substance to the Medium so enjoy the republishing of my ttrpg critique! First up is Flying Circus - the only ttrpg that can be called Ghibliesque medium.com/@radmadrpgs/...

like for the gaslight district retweet for zombie college

Making a popular show is crazy cuz you can explicitly set certain things up through clues and symbolism and there will be people who are like "I see all that, and I'm acknowledging that I see all that... Anyway my theory is that the opposite is true. ☝️😀"

One of the games that I ever read with the most potential for improvement returns with the lessons of a decade of repeatedly doing some of the most interesting and effective game design. Has it overcome the game I saw in it ten years ago? splitparty.substack.com/p/witch-fate...

Vote for me for president and I will build statues of Grant and Sherman in every Southern city across the country until they get the message.

The Maxx was one of the first “Superhero” comics I ever read where the women didn’t make me feel patronized or othered and one of my first experiences where I was like “oh this is what comics can be like when the writer understands that women are people”, and that meant a lot to me as a teenager

It cannot be overstated how weird & groundbreaking THE MAXX was upon release. It was this crazy culture grenade, bridging the Venn diagram between mainstream comics & Alt (not indie) comics. In an era of anti-heroes, The Maxx satirized that, redefining what mainstream comics could be. RIP Sam Kieth.

- "Summer of '69" one of my buddies played it for an hour on a car trip, my other friend threw the CD out into the wilds of Tennessee at that point. -"Take Me Home, Country Roads." The tv broke at work, this was part of the fallout 76 ad, it played non-stop for two whole days.

Dragons right. My dream? To run a progenitor actual play.

Y'know. In true Wild Talents fashion, Invincible being able to actually fight now is a sign that things are dramatically stepping up. Now Mark's player feels comfortable in his miracles and can afford to start putting points in his skills.

You wanna hear my controversial rpg take? Why, are RPG character sheets (on average) less parsable than a fucking tax form? Yes they are ugly and small print, but they are perfectly legible, fit on a page, and usually have extra pages that are just clarified instructions! We could have that!

Today in Random Game Mechanics Which Make Mara Happy: Been dipping into oLd5R TCG and shaking off the 20+ year rust, and was reminded of a mechanic that came around in their Gold edition update (and stuck until the end): the Soul Of mechanic, which is really cool for eternal format games.

Alright, now that I did a serious "look at this game post". They fucking quoted me in the kickstarter! Me! Brad! Take that High School Guidance Counselor! Buy this game so that other Kickstarters will quote me!

Here is a second and more table focused one, you as a player need to come to the table with a character who is willing to grow and change, and that includes in ways you didn't expect, and that includes in ways that aren't mechanical. You want the big moments? Be willing to be changed.

A game you enjoy doesn't have to be a deeply transcendent experience,or a perfectly well oiled and designed system to have a good time, you can and will in fact enjoy this hobby playing games that are clunky, broken and bad. You should, however, be able to tell the difference between fun and good.

As the holidays are firmly over, seasonal depression comes to a close, and I'm actually overcoming sickness i find myself thinking... that I should organize a tabletop simulator mordheim group

Please, let me write about a film noir orc detective in Not-Minas Tirith in a setting where the Orcs have rebuilt Mordor and the main plot hook? A halfling pickpocket arrives to the city with something powerful in her pocket.
