To avoid any confusion, I can confirm that the Dracula in Hotel Dracula is a Confirmed Dracula, same one Stoker wrote about.

They won’t ever do it I’m sure, but Kelsey Dionne would crush it

Marker drawing of Beaker the muppet. He’s like a tube with long hair sticking straight up off the top, big round eyes, a big round nose, and a mouth like an upside-down letter U. In this drawing he has pointy teeth and is covered in blood.

I think they would honestly make a killing on a refresh of the 5.5E Basic Rules to simplify it down to something closer to B/X but still compatible with the modern rules for monsters, etc… people play it because it’s “the thing” but I think a lot of people would prefer a simpler game

I know there are others, and I feel like this was a coming game dynamic when I was a kid, but I’m failing to think of them now.

Scrabble, in which you can challenge if another player’s word is valid, but at risk of losing something yourself.

Uno, in which you can gain by calling out someone forgetting to say “Uno!” when they have one card.

Examples:

Monopoly, in which you can avoid paying rent if the next player’s turn starts after you’ve landed on another player’s property and they didn’t notice to demand their rent from you.

I’m thinking of a quite a few games that have explicit rules for dealing with when another player forgets something or does something wrong that either penalize them or benefit you, and it encourages “gotcha” play, which people will either love or hate, and will be opinionated about.

I didn’t have anything to contribute to the other discussion, but I do have some thoughts on this aspect of it. I think we (as millennials and older) are primed in a lot of ways by the games that were common in our childhood to have strong moral opinions about this type of thing.

Paging @ktrey.bsky.social, this seems like something you’d have some tables for, but I couldn’t find quite the right one poking around your blog archive

Knicked up sword is so close to being like a “Cool S” sword the way the knicks are aligned

Okay, this worked really well last time! I need someone from Brazil who knows about the RPG scene (specifically Vampire/White Wolf) in the early 2000s. Anybody here who could answer a couple quick questions?
