Hey, GM's Of TTRPG's, What's The Fact That Lives In Your Head Just Waiting To Be Relevant In A Campaign?

Yes, this is the true ending 🌱

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I would have LOVED to see that

I feel like Mentopolis is the perfect Dimension 20 season to introduce new viewers. Like, only six episodes, with players known outside the TTRPG space, in one of D20's classic parody settings, to say nothing of its general quality. I don't know that it's necessarily my favorite season, but it's definitely up there, and definitely the one to show people who don't "get it."

THAC0 Bell is just such a good pun.

The "Jawbone is invincible" bit is hilarious, but it does make me worried that Brennan is setting us up for a Baldur-esque tragedy. (That's Baldur from Norse mythology, not Baldur's Gate.) Throwing spears at your local werewolf guidance counselor is all fun and games until one of those spears is secretly tipped with silver....

I could write an essay on Ame’s witchiness and gender… the way she was abandoned for causing too much chaos and should “know better” at age five, how her natural self is something she should be afraid of and keep in check, the difference in personality between a seven year old Ame who doesn’t have to perform gender for anyone vs. an adult Ame who is trying to fill a role in the community and as a result is much more subdued and maternal when talking to the people of Toma, making an effort to “be kind” because any expression of rage was seen as dangerous, “she’s not a girl; she’s a witch!”, her knowing that she is different from her maternal mentor and feeling like she is failing at her responsibilities, her instincts and ways of thinking constantly being put into question by those around her, particularly Suvi who had never felt uncomfortable in the role she was born to fill.

(deep breath)

her veiled explanation of the coven of elders to Keen being “a council of women who recently decided whether I should remain a part of it” (even as she’s obfuscating she emphasizes being an outsider in a group of women), her feeling like an outsider in the binary world of humans vs. spirits (which Eioghorain this episode says is not as clear a binary as humans make it out to be), how often she is accused of being too brash, too impulsive, too much, too foolish, and you should not be this way.

anyway. I have a lot of feelings on this aspect of Ame’s character. for reasons.

Ran a Zelda-themed PF2e session today. There was a boss fight against a six-armed, leaf-mask-wearing warrior construct named Koroktos, and yes, I am extremely proud of that name.

worlds beyond number is sooo good!

oooh i think i've got it

you ever just be prepping a ttrpg session, go "is this going to be fun? no? oof", and just start over. and then do it again.
