I'm currently watching Legion S3, E1 because I want to know what it's like to take Mushrooms.

The Leftovers REALLY makes me want to run a Smallville game that delves into some odd ideas about life, death, and trauma. I had an idea about playing in the MCU pre and post Blip with regular people that's a possibility.

Leftovers S3, E1 God. Damn. I'm keeping a week or so between episodes and waited a few months between seasons 2 and 3 because it's a show that deserves to simmer. Oddly enough, I don't want to immediately jump to the next episode. I want to live in this WTF for awhile.

www.tiktok.com/@improvgm/vi... @scenefour.bsky.social inspired this. I think a lot of people take the wrong lessons from APs for their home games. We don't experience a home game the same way we do watching an Actual Play or film. The pacing doesn't need to be kept at the same level. (Thread)

Voices also sometimes get in the way of good characterization. They’re a style but not necessary to GM (or play) well

severance is a great show because the average female character is a monstrously dedicated ice-chewing psychopath while the average male character is a sopping wet cat

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

it's weird to me when people shit on kingdom come deliverance, a game I think is a tedious piece of shit, because they think 'the guy tried to make a racist game and a smart capable historian pointed out why he was wrong' when the actual story is way more convoluted and weird than that.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

I wore a hoodie & beanie for Ep1 to dress "in character". Before Ep2 I realized that hoodie was in the wash & I had to wear a different one. I noticed afterwards that my beanie was different too. So now I'm committed to the bit of a different hoodie and beanie every week. Anyway we're live in 20

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

That’s so cool! I personally write my own stuff with my brain I trained on reading and writing so it means something human but again your thing is also cool.

I CAN FINALLY TELL EVERYONE! The amazing @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social has agreed to do a one of a kind commission for The Cunning Folk TTRPG kickstarter!! Backers will now have the option on certain tiers to get an exclusive art print of a character (in all 5 forms!) that Rossy has designed!!

I’m genuinely curious what people of out of Saturday Night (the movie about SNL’s first show) if didn’t already know the main cast. That movie seemed to rely on the audience’s memories of these people for a lot of heavy lifting.

Problems in listening is why I don’t like playing GMless games with people who weren’t improvisors or at least GMs. You learn to actively listen in improv in a way you do nowhere else. Even on stage in a scripted show, I’d rather look into the eyes of an improvisor because they’re there with me.

Are we limiting how we think about Actual Play as an artform by describing it as fiction? What happens if we frame AP as nonfiction first, fiction second? Some thoughts about AP, Party of One, and what nonfiction-first AP might look like in our latest newsletter: buttondown.com/partyofonepo...
