Education is (the) key.

Managed to catch Wolf Man last night. It's fun, not revolutionary, but I like that they didn't try to explain the transformation other than "infected". No "It's magic!" or "We happen to know it's viral!" or an origin as such,just a "Whoa, WTH?! RUN!" #wolfman #movie

Having ditched Facebook and never having bothered in any real regard with Twitter, this is now my default social media in terms of immediacy. I do Reddit too, but that's more like a forum ... Here's hoping for continued growth and importance in global discussions and references in legacy media!

I hope everyone's enjoying #Avowed, seems I'm in the very small minority that very much are not. So back to other games, there are plenty to go round! 😊

Sounds silly, but are there any nice GUI build-your-dice-system and check out percentiles and probabilities and fake play sorta websites? Or am I SooL and gonna have to resort to another Excel sheet? :D #ttrpg

Still progressing on my system for a new #ttrpg. Basic skill and combat resolution done ... but now I keep thinking about subsystems. Investigation? Resource gathering? MAGIC? I suffer from scope creep a LOT. "Ooooo, I could just add ...". No, no you could not. Stop it. :D

The amount of US stories I'm seeing on socials that amount to "Yeah, I voted for him, but I didn't think it'd affect me/mine/family..." etc. WTAF. Did you think he'd be knowingly making you an exception by name? Skin colour? Political affiliation? Out of 350m population? WTAF and FFS. 🤷🤦

... And yes, I know some authors are problematic, but I've meant to grab Norse for ages. And Perdido I seem to have lost my copy... 🤷

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. And if all others accepted the lie, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth.

Spent an hour looking up "Ways fascists have died" basically. They don't tend to die peacefully in their sleep, content, with life of family and friends; loved, cherished, and missed. They tend to die alone, hated and mostly forgotten, or extremely violent and, for me, giggle-inducing deaths. :D

Sooo.... That #DareDevil trailer looks pretty effin' amazing doesn't it? I was late to the Netflix series but binged DD, JJ and LC. Wasn't as big a fan of IF. But keeping the cast etc? Superb. Chefs kiss. #Marvel

I'm trying to eat spicy Ramen whilst watching Cunk of Life and I've choked, sprayed food over my rug, and cannot stop laughing. It's absolute genius, every line lands, it's just comedic perfection. #cunk #comedy

When coming up with a new #ttprg setting, a personal favourite exercise is to choose 3 or 4 quotes/sayings/axioms that are vaguely related, and then form something around those. For example this morning I took "God is Dead", "That is not dead which can eternal lie...", "No more room in Hell" and ..

So, whilst I'm working-working (Career, nothing #ttrpg related to my chagrin) I'm finding some pop-punk, ska and punk are really helping. Interrupters, RBF, Jaya the Cat, Star Fucking Hipsters sorta stuff. Any music recommendations (Any genre!) from folks to keep my day going? :) #music

As much as I love a good pdf/epub etc, I do think theres something amazing about giving and receiving an dead-tree book. Fingers crossed for Xmas, otherwise I'll be buying myself a new library in the New Year! #books
