part of it i think is the setting as well

if you play american delta green you are almost certainly armed with guns, and things can run out of control fast

in the laundry you're more or less in the uk/europe and even having a 50%> in firearms gets you an issued gun, but it's kept in the armory when you're off duty

how are you gonna spiral when you can't just shoot the guy causing you a paperwork nightmare? inconceivable

it's fun to mix in one (1) american tho

sometimes you need a release valve

"anthropomorphic fallout"

we call that mutant year zero

sometimes you spend all your time fighting a whole army

sometimes you spend all your time trying to bribe an official

i had it in my head that my dnd 5e campaign was the first ttrpg i ever played

that's not actually true because time and memory are lies

it's actually my fallout 2d20 campaign that's almost 3 years old now? lol

i know, i know - i'm behind on dragonbane and forbidden lands

sue me xD

you: "if the zombo apombo happens right now i don't have enough ammo"

me: "if the zombo apombo happens right now i don't have enough pads of paper to play the rpgs i want"

obviously i need to lay in a stock of those good white erasers

lol also remembered that i got the fallout 2d20 starter set by accident

i had actually ordered fallout wasteland to play with my minis but modiphius sent it by accident so i was like "whatever i don't wanna send it back i'll just pay for it"

my intro to ttrpgs was an accident lol

Guys there was this weird knock on my door then a note was slipped under it inviting me to some opera what should I do

💌🎭💚

note: this was a cyberpunk red supplement, not a rando indie product

not sure if that matters, but i've ordered other cpr pod before and it still took weeks like all the other pods

maybe dtr tightened some things up?

"One con I know has had issues due to covid flushing out con experience from the universities and that broke a link to important feeder events for the con. In terms of staff as much as participants. However that is being gradually rebuilt."

it's almost like covid is still around and 99% of people take no precautions

holy shit

1) produce terrible players/refs
2) complain about terrible players/refs
3) ???
4) profit

you're already an ouroboros of horseshit between reddit and youtube, in the chaos of people pretending they play rpgs

i never thought i would disdain a place more than /r/gamedev in terms of where it's obvious 99%+ of posters there do not fucking do the things they say they do, but /r/rpg SOMEHOW is worse

actively fucking worse

people complain all the time that /r/rpghorrorstories is the place people go to write fiction, but i think /r/rpg has them beat, hands down

it's literally like learning about women by browsing some manosphere hive

the ai fuckery has not helped, obviously, and i have not browsed /r/gamedev in years. maybe it's even worse now

there are so many people in /r/rpg who brag about playing this and that and then you browse their comment history AND IT'S CLEAR THEY LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW THE BASIC RULES OF THE GAMES THEY SAY THEY RUN

they are just getting some rules ai slop from google search and then copypastaing into the ether
