Masks is, I think, one of my absolute faves, though tells a fairly specific kind of story, so not always my go-to.
Sentinel Comics, for me, finds that perfect blend of a pinch of crunch/structure, but still let's players have a turn where they leap through a wall and use a car as boxing gloves

The superhero ttrpgs I most love have minimal crunch, and "actions" that allow a good amount of narration and action within them. Nothing drags a superhero game down for me more than things getting too granular, with "this turn I fly 8 spaces, and roll to attack once...". I want it to feel super!

Don't get me wrong, when the star align and I can use foundry for a bigger campaign with all the perfect mods, it's a treat. So many tedious things that might slow down the game and detract from role-play, made smoother.
But when it screws up it's like typing an email with a broken spacebar.

Somehow Gemini got activated on my Nest tablet hub, and when I thought I had no choice but to use it (about a week or two), I can confirm that it was, in fact, garbage. Screwed up over half the commands I tried to give it. Beyond frustrating. So glad they're giving it more control....yay...

Like, just be fucking honest.
(and, sorry, if you need Chat GPT to world build your dystopian world, sorry, do you even like writing because be honest with yourself. Sounds like you like the idea of having been published more than using your own brain)

An absolutely beautiful selection of games! I happen to be partial to Deathmatch Island, but any of those would make me giddy! Well assembled, Rowan!

At least then, when someone tries to bring you into a group for something, you can see that and be like "Hey, this says it's a perma-server...why??"

I've long felt that discord's default for groups/servers should have some kind of expiration system, where after a set date/time, they are erased. They serve their purpose, and then there is no expectation to continue interacting. If you want to, then you need to make a perma-server or something.

I've played a few sessions of it, at least the later iterations of the early access (which hasn't changed too much from the final product). You just lemme know if you need a taste sometime :D

The way I squirmed reading that...good golly, that sounds just awful!
Honestly, I think I'm in the same ballpark as you for my stupidest self-injury. I was doing the twist (yes, the dance) at a wedding, and twisted my leg so hard my kneecap popped all the way to the left side of my leg.

Note: I have it all figured out now. The issues was more nuanced that my silly little post implied, but it is all good now. Please don't give me advice. I will simply default back to screaming. Thank you. <3

Not gonna lie...I desperately want to see that explored further. Right now, all I can think is a TTRPG called Fairytale Court, where everyone in the court is from fables and fantasy...except the judge, whom is obviously Judge Judy. And I kind of need to play that.

No clue. I'm just going to the website and playing it via pc. Had it on my phone for a few days before the notifications drove me mad

RP, I swear, you do such an immaculate job.
Meanwhile I start to try to figure it out and just end up going "Maybe I'll just hand write everything and use photocopies for my final layout..." 😅

I was gonna put the gif of Homelander saying "We're not equals," but even as a joke it kinda made me feel icky to associate myself with him lol.
Then I wanted Invader Zim saying "You have no idea the POWER YOU TOY WITH" but I couldn't find it.
Why do I even bother...

I don't know that I've ever seen a Lou without facial hair, but either way, a damned handsome human whom I adore!

In the off chance you want to check the video out, here it is...

Though, I would kindly ask that you do not engage with or be unpleasant toward any of those negative comments. If you do, I'll hide all you from the channel. Be nice, even if they weren't. <3

I should also be very clear in that they aren't "wrong" for disliking the alternative health/harm systems I talk about, but in how they think they are implemented or affect gameplay. I'm totally fine if folks prefer HP, less fine when they talk with authority about things they clearly don't know.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I think you handled that in the best possible way. I'm sure that he's going through some confused introspection and maybe not handling it the best. I know I sure didn't back in the day! But I think your approach was really good.
Still, not fun. Hugs if you want 'em <3

Thank you so much! It really does mean a lot to get comments like this, since I don't tend to read youtube comments on any of those channels anymore. Wishing you and your partner all the best!!

Ooo hell yeah! Grabbed Slugblaster a little while ago (let's be honest, right after I saw it on Quinn's Quest), but I've yet to see it in action! Very excited for this!
