Good morning! Its a whole new week! What better way to start the week than by playing the game described as "I became genuinely worried how much I wanted to strangle the horse" and "is there even a horse in this?"

i will strangle a horse

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

🥹 thanks bud. I’d try and make it so people could submit their favourite clips, so no one would be left out! From producers to audio engineers to players to social media editors. Time to make something happen I think!

I’ve been reviewing a LOT of Actual Play footage lately and I’m so tempted to set up dedicated Actual Play Awards purely so we have categories like “best tactical play” “best improvised retort” “best PVP” “best twist” because there’s some God Tier work in these games that needs to be recognised.

Baki is definitely an artistic stretch, but as far as a fighter anime goes, it goes real hard. Season 1 is a just impossible muscles and extreme silliness.
