in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Some great advice on running Fate here 👍💪👇

I'm glad a big meeting was called to fix the fat troops problem. 🙄 “Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation and see fat troops,” he said. “...unacceptable to see fat generals & admirals ... leading commands around the country and the world.”

Today we are proud to announce our next crowdfunding campaign. Award-winning historian @shannonappelcline.bsky.social examines the roots, artwork, and lore behind each and every product released by TSR for OD&D, AD&D 1e, and Basic D&D with his latest effort, Designers & Dragons: Origins. 1/3

In like twenty years there will be an entire genre of stories that are “immigrant takes revenge on the ICE agents who broke up their family”. They’re going to be the stock villains your protagonist can do anything to, much like Nazis. Because they are Nazis.

I'm mostly certain that my next long campaign is going to be Daggerheart. It seems like the right blend of storytelling and dynamic action. I'm also going to do something I've never done—run an adventure path! I'm going to convert Curse of the Crimson Throne from Pathfinder.

a discord is not a forum. I don't want to join your product's community; I want to read the solution to my technical problem from two posters who worked it out 4 years ago

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

I have a joke about all the layoffs in the tech industry but it doesn't work.

I love this thread about publishing RPGs to VTTs. A lot of good information. I have some thoughts to add from the perspective of someone who works on complex web apps. When you ask for VTT support, you are asking the publisher to make a video game.

TONIGHT WE KILL HITLER. We've been enjoying killing Nazis so much that we've stretched our game from one session into three.

Tonight my gaming group will be playing Eat the Reich, where the year is 1943. You are a team of crack vampire commandos with one mission: drink all of Hitler’s blood.

If you could go anywhere in time and space, where would you go? Me? I'd visit the Mesozoic Era to explore the dinosaurs. I'd take photos and videos of the plants and animals of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.
