...Maybe my New Year's Resolution should be to get tested. This is upsettingly accurate
I wrote a thing! Because I contine to be very normal!
Lloyd Didcot, 32, took the unusual step to not carefully prepare a mental script for his coffee order last Friday and, subsequently, experienced the actual, literal torture of eternal damnation for about five minutes in his local Costa.

Beebgate demonstrates two truths:
1 Right wing media hold everyone else to exacting standards of ethics and probity while holding themselves to none whatsoever.
2. You can’t curry favour with the right wing if you’re an entity they want to destroy.

One of the best bits of running a new tabletop game is putting together the vibes playlist! I've had a lot of these saved for just such an occasion, too #tabletop #ttrpg #cyberpunk #WakeUpSamurai

Cyberpunk RED
Welcome to the Time of the Red, Choomba! The year is 2045, the Megacorporations spent decades wrecking everything and, in the aftermath of their last War, everyone has to fend for themselves.

Is it bad that the most surprising thing to me today is a politician actually resigning over being found to not live up to the standards we supposedly hold them to?
Can you imagine anybody in a Tory Cabinet or over in the Orange House doing that? Not clamping down like a limpet?

When prepping, I always use @slyflourish.com 's DM checklist, but with occasional modifications as time has passed
Newest addition is to the Important NPC's list:
1) Which faction do they represent
2) What role do they fill in the adventure
3) *new* Which player is this a 'treat' for?

Running a campaign of Tales From The Loop. Lovely system that's very proactive about player choices. Session Zero was character & town creation. The game vibes off of emotional investment & nostalgia, so why not also have them build the ideal town for 80's kids shenanigans? #ttrpg #TftL #DnD

There is only one good way to schedule an rpg session, and that is to get it on the calendar before you leave the previous session.
God help you if you're starting a new group or you miss scheduling the next one a single time.
