It’s a give and take, you know?

It is also a bad game because of its rules tho too. How do you make a game where the bulk of the rules are about combat and have combat still be a boring slog??

5e isn’t a bad game because of its rules, it’s a bad game because it’s the only ttrpg that financially benefits the fucking Pinkerton.

Oh yeah I was thinking itch jams but more if anyone knew of any good ones. I’ve always had a hard time parsing them from the jam list on the site itself tho. But thank you!

Anyone have a good resource for keeping track of new ttrpg jams?

Yes

I think about the system from resident evil 4 where you keep on upgrading Leon Kennedy’s dorky little attachΓ© case till eventually you can fill it was a rocket launcher, a shotgun, magnum, a few grenades, ammo, and a bunch of fucking eggs. Maybe an smg if you’re a little freak. Get that biiiig case

Sharing this info so that others can look into it for themselves and keep themselves safe.

Heads up y’all. Please check your β€œfollowing” and β€œfollowers” and proceed accordingly. Not tagging anyone, just take care of yourself, maybe pass along the message.

Psychology says people who constantly apologize for things that aren't their fault aren't being polite.

That reflexive 'sorry' you can't stop saying was never about politeness β€” it was a survival strategy you learned before you had the language to name what was happening in your home.

There’s really no words to describe the monumental evil capable of doing this. Seeing this it really underlines why the concept of hell was invented. Because, surely, something terrible must befall the architects of these atrocities. Nothing will happen here so we hope for something after.

I played the shit out of that game when it came out, and got basically to the end, but completely lost steam/interest once I got to the last dungeon and never finished it.

That’s the problem with Linux tho; I don’t want to try out a bunch of stuff I want a computer that works without a bunch of garbage. Like obviously I’m gonna have to figure something out bc windows sucks and gets worse everyday but it’s a problem I extremely don’t want to have to deal with 😭

Apparently!! This was back in GA, but I met the guys across the hall in the dorms because they had one that got into their room somehow. We didn’t know we had them there either but apparently they’re very widespread!

And if that turns into a problem, I bet there’s a Plane of Dogs to take care of the cats!

I have notes about a Warlock adventure I was futzing around with awhile back and that’s basically a whfrp game. Also: Skittergate is an extremely compelling word.

Still thinking about this; thinking about a dumb adventure to seal a portal to the rat place before the entire world is drowned in rats. Mork Borg seems like the obvious choice but I’ve been wanting to do a Cairn adventure, too.

Common misconception, that’s actually the much nicer para-elemental plane of capybaras. MUCH chiller place.
