Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

Solidly believe that mechanics are the how behind Things Players Do and rules are the framing device for How Play Proceeds
A Rule would be e.g., Combat is resolved in rounds of sequenced turns. A Mechanic would be rolling initiative.

talking about this in the dice exploder discord but kinda interested in what the rabble thinks
from a TTRPG perspective, what is the difference between a mechanic and a rule and do we actually care about that difference?

nitpicky book review: there's a subgenre that i really want to like that i have nicknamed "irreverent fantasy where we are the villains heheh"
however. these books usually hinge on "the bad guys were secretly the real good guys all along!" usually in kind of a whimsical evil robin hood kind of way

Bear type is strong against Fighting, Dark, Bug and Gun but weak against Clown (they taste funny)
I want to see an RPG with Pokémon-style damage types based on real-world cladistics. All having to come up with type matchups for clades that would never interact in real life. Your character gets mauled by a bear and its damage type is just "Bear".

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.
