There it is…

Absolutely fucked.

I just stumbled across this: www.completecompendium.com It's every monster ever officially published for 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons. There's 3277 of them. I always knew 2nd edition was overpublished, but... damn.

One completely unexplored aspect of Star Wars: The way everyone is cool with droid ownership. It always felt like a missed opportunity for worldbuilding. Consider: Droids cannot use the force. And what does the dominant religion have to say about that? Clearly, they're objects, not people.

The retcon that the Clone troopers carried Order 66 because they had brain-control chips really strikes me as emblematic of why the Prequels fail: This should be the story of the Jedi and Republic embracing an industrialized mass-murder machine out of expediency, and where that inevitably leads.

Chefs kiss. No notes.

I’ve been thinking a lot about tutorialization in video games and #ttrpgs. Old video games used to include chunky manuals you were expected to read before you could play. Modern TTRPGs still do this. They offer chunky player primers you’re expected to read like homework before you can play.

There are worse places to eat dinner than under an awning in a rainstorm. It’s real pretty when it’s happening right _over there_ and not on my head.

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

Cleansing the TL with an actual Calvin and Hobbes strip. Imagine thinking AI could ever replace this.

And then you look at the modern world and modern attitudes: "Well sure, but one of those free hours is for your lunch break, and two of them are for your commute, and we all know that only _lazy_ people work 8 to 5, so show your dedication by donating one of those free hours back to us"

I just finished drafting my personal heartbreaker RPG... Now I just need the list of PC powers, spells for wizards, and a bestiary of monsters. I'm either 100% drafted or maybe around 15%, depending on your perspective.

This is perfect. The "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy advertisement? It used a pirated font. Chefs kiss. No notes. torrentfreak.com/you-wouldnt-...

This energy ✨

This is everything to me

My creative work is 80% jealous rage by volume. I see the work of other creators and then angrily hammer out my own iterations of their superior output.
