Here's another TTRPG design post you'll want to read. When you are designing your own rules, you should do so in a way that is simple, clear and concise. The more "if this than that", the more load you add to the players/designers. Simplicity invites creativity.

if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS. This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

Hey Randy! Just stumbled on StorySynth and wanted to ask a quick question. For the Shuffled template is there a way to work around "the end card is always last" so it doesn't come at the bottom of the deck, but 'towards the end' of it like in FTQ ?

Digimon Time Stranger thoughts so far (~8h in): * Very fun! Solid combat & digivolutions are still cool * Good nostalgia fodder even for light fans like me * UI remains a little clunky in places * Writing for other characters isn't bad, but the MC's dialogue & interactions are by far the worst part

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

NEW: Trump is designating "Antifa" a terrorist organization (though there's no legal mechanism to do - but the law doesn't matter anymore.) He's using the Kirk murder to justify going after democrats. Those of us who read Project 2025 knew this was coming - but that provides little comfort.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.
