I'm starting to lean more towards that Fermi paradox explanation of intelligent life tending to destroy itself as being the most likely explanation.

Thinking about old dice, like way back when they were made of bones and wood they must have all been totally unbalanced and people thought they were just super lucky or unlucky and got killed over it for cheating cause they didn't know the density of the material wasn't uniform.

I think Project Zomboid has the most potential to achieve the vibe of
#Over/Under
. Now that build 42 has gone multiplayer, in a month or two when this unstable build is less buggy I think that's the move. An RP server where everyone plays as a nomad convoy, scheduled "event" when the camp moves.

Wondering if any rpgs use the UNO deck instead of dice. I've heard of Jenga and regular playing card decks used of course, but UNO is as common as Jenga, maybe more so. Could be an untapped resource. Death save! SKIP!

We hit our final
#mothershipmonth25
stretch goal for All On Red: donate $1,000 to Doctors Without Borders (MSF)! One of our main NPCs Dr. Lucinda Suzuki belongs to a fictional organization inspired by MSF called Doctors Without Sectors, so we figured this would be a great final goal in the campaign.

This is brilliantly written. A prime example of how to play a complex character that's authentic. It's a real challenge to play a character that you the player disagree with fundamentally. It makes everyone's experience richer. The ore refining metaphor is perfect. Everyone should read all of this.

is inspiring. I wanna try and create a SMALL (10-20 players) discord PBP Mothership game. Any wardens interested in collabing? I'm exploring the idea of a scouting mission to a habitable (but dangerous!) frontier planet. If they don't die, it could scale with more players arriving later.
