Apparently a Brazilian robber climbed 15 floors to rob a store and left a note signed "Spider-Man of Evil". Or that is what he meant, he made a translation mistake and it said "Spider-Man of Bad".

This Twitter thread making fun of fantasy ttrpg tropes is SO good and on point:

@bhtooefr it feels like a *lot* of people go from "individual action cannot and will not solve problem X by itself" to "therefore there is no point in taking individual action, we should just wait for capitalism to disappear"

This is a neat section to add to indie #rpg projects. I'll probably add something similar to my future works.

I finally managed to play Very Large Dogs, a storytelling game about finding joy/good moments on the face of the end of the world. It's about some (very large) dogs that do something nice for their Best Friend(s) right before the end comes.

We went for a dark/tragic story, but it doesn't have to be like that. We loved it, especially the scene with the nice moment. We actually finished there and skipped describing the actual end (it's a possibility in the rules).

I understand the temptation to go broad in your worldbuilding but it's a missed opportunity for fun. Instead of saying "the festival" be like "the dance of the wicked lamplighters" and then do some quick aside about it. People absolutely love that shit
