I'm down. I can probably say/do more about ttrpgs. If we're talking video game I'm gonna be story/concepts almost exclusively. Also, I have organizational management skills if you really want them on a project 😄

They should kick me out of the Hello Hyrule discord, or at very least the stadium because I don't know any of these characters I'm voting for. 100% fake Zelda fan.

I cannot stress enough how much I'm loving what this show is doing and the freedom it has to tell a good story.

🥰Daydreaming what stories I'd like to tell in this format. 🥰

I can't invite guests on other people's shows but I am pointing you a @jeffstormer.gobirds.online and @corpserevivers.bsky.social 's art

They do a Batman fanfic actual play where they are just freeform spinning a story forward for each other every month
Batman: Bump in the Night
Batman: Bump in the Night is a playground-style fanfiction actual play podcast by Jeff Stormer and Marn Lastname. A joint collaboration between Party of One and the Moonshot Podcast Network. Logo for ...

My thought is that because people do that, now conversation is trending towards quick, shallow shares with people not expecting actual conversation. Idle thought I'm working through...

I still like podcasts but videos of people playing usually includes too much extra stuff for me. I listen to people playing games while I'm doing other stuff. Making Actual Play watching the main activity does not work for me anymore

That was my initial instinct but it felt like old man yelling at clouds so I wanted to consider it was the other way

Is TikTok reflective of how people communicate now or is the way humans like to communicate reflective of the creation of TikTok? Quick, emotion burst with immediate reaction and then let it go without further consideration

I've had to mute a channel I liked in a discord because now it's filled with people effectively live blogging their reactions to podcasts from several years ago, acting like we should all know what they're talking about. It's miserable

I guess you'd never know you had a phobia of shrinking until it actually happens...
Or maybe if you went to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids section of MGM?

Basically start with connecting In Space to Lost Galaxy directly and adjust plot and characters as you go along so that it's all one continuous storyline with a Ship of Theseus team. I think it's a fun challenge (especially in resisting the urge to fully rewrite/fix stuff)

Well, back to thinking about What If Power Rangers never reset the storyline? What if every season needed a justification for blending one team into the next?

Had a rough with work and so my brain decided a fun thought exercise was coming up with a Power Rangers “X-Force” style team and here’s where I landed:

- Taylor / Wild Force Yellow
- Eric / Time Force Quantum
- Heckyl / Dino Charge Dark
- Will / Operation Overdrive Black
- Vida / Mystic Force Pink

Kat because they needed someone stable. Maybe replace Ivan with Koda but I like that sassy knight

Oh we can do better

Xander - Mystic Force Green
Ivan - Dino Charge Gold
Kat - Zeo Pink
Maya - Lost Galaxy Yellow
Mack - Operation Overdrive Red

They needed one American and that boy deserves wacky, magical, time, space adventures.

Hmmm.... Power Rangers already has Government Sponsored teams and Teen Teams. I'm not sure how I'd describe Excalibur. The Weird Adventures, Foreign Team?

Commissioner Gordon stands on the roof with two uniformed officers behind him. He himself is standing next to the bat signal. Gordon says, “Did you HEAR that, BATMAN? Someone is ROBBING the….”The Commissioner notices that Batman has already disappeared and adds, “ Yup – – I guess he HEARD!“

I wish I was into play by post as a method of enjoying ttrpgs. Maybe if it was a simple system and/or I wasn't the GM, but I had a physical reaction the last time I tried setting up a pbp game years ago
