i have just realized my true calling on this earth it is to make a popful mail ttrpg and also i have to do it using only period-appropriate roleplaying tech available to japanese rpg designers in the early 1990s
(gonna pin this so i don't accidentally forget my true calling on this earth)

Imagine being in your honeymoon with your beautiful tetris wife, and when you finally consummate, you accidentally fill in a line and she disappears forever. Awful.

@kaitlynugoretz.bsky.social I have made us a helpful guide to figuring out what is and isn't a torii! Based on that post regarding Hokusai's drawings

Nine box diagram with the far left column having the requirement of "a torii must have two cross bars and two pillars," the middle column has the requirement of "a torii must have a vague arch shape," and the right column is "a torii can be any shape"

The top row has the requirement of "a torii must be made of wood and painted red," the middle row has the requirement of "a torii must be made from natural materials, can have color but not required," and the bottom row has the requirement of "a torii can be made from any material, can be covered in any sort of varnish/paint"

Nine column collage linked to the torii requirements. In order from left to right top to bottom: a ryobu style torii, a red wood covered bridged, a red wood door, an wooden electrical pole, a stone arch, a paper crane made from teal paper, a blue metal rack, the McDonald's arches, and maruchan ramen

sapphling: sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher

sapphling: You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

sapphling: *screenshot of tag that says
#crying and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didnt REALLY die and come back to life all those times*
no that part was real

we all have to pretend we're angry about winemoms marching with us because the only way centrists will support anything is if they think it made a leftist mad. of course internally we're all thinking "winemom x communist agitator yuri" but its just not practical to say it out loud at this juncture.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

so for some bizarre combination of being hipster and poor my main music listening gets pumped through a forty year old solid state montgomery ward sound system whose capacitorss are fucked and whose speakers are likely torn and it's like having a free analog vinyl record filter on all my anime songs

Remember all those old Qix clones where, as you capture more of the playing field, it progressively reveals more of the low-resolution pixel art of a scantily clad woman in the background?

There's a lot of potential in a setup like that to use play as a way to address the same kinds of issues that are looked at in critical theory and such (something that I'm very interested in). Really happy to see other people trying to apply Trammel's ideas to RPGs, that book was eye-opening for me!

I think the most common arrangement is to create complications through situation--the enemy army is invading, your daughter is being held hostage, and so on--but there's so much room open for making the magic circle create complications instead by using rules that confound "easy" solutions.

This is a really fruitful space for "maxim"-style rules--rules that tell the players things that _must be_ true in the fiction--and using that to explore alternative possibilities. "You cannot succeed at rescuing the princess" or "You won't be socially accepted no matter how successful you are" etc

I really like the framing of the magic circle "suspending" certain real-world rules, and the way that you (I think) start by looking at social rules that are seemingly innocuous or benign, or even potentially _positive_ ones. The complete opposite of what games as "violence simulators" usually do!
