I'm In Another Room Listening To My Girlfriend GMing Delta Green

I found one and probably only valid use of ChatGPT in TTRPGs: to translate contracts from the Breach of Contract book so I can actually print them out for my non-English speaking players

Is it ethical/cool/doing better job then an actual translator fluent in sci-fi legalese? HELL NO. Is it authentic? HELL YES! I can't see an evil corporation from the future translating it with any other method.

Me reposting it:

Translated the infamous Cassilda's song to Russian while preparing to run Impossible Landscapes. Everyone is welcome to use my translation if you like it.

О берег бьются облака, Два солнца прячутся в волнах, И тени все длинней в Каркозе.

Созвездий черных странный свет Мерцает странным лунам вслед, Но всех страннее мрак Каркозы.

Струится с неба песнь Гиад, Лохмотья Короля шуршат, Но тишина царит в Каркозе.

Мой голос нем, слова мертвы, Невыплаканных слез следы Засохнут навсегда в Каркозе.

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT

dragons are so territorial that as soon as an egg is laid it needs to fuck right off and fend for itself even before a wyrmling hatches, a dragon egg is capable of movement and self defense. it's senses are not developed yet though, which makes it potentially dangerous if it blindly stumbles into your back yard. if it does, you can either carefully fence off an area around it, or build a really big fire outside of your property, it might get attracted to heat.

dragons are nice and all but what if they had cool eggs like sharks or manta rays

I dreamed that I was writing an adventure for Delta Green. Or rather, running it, improvising as I went. There was a scene where a character (a child) is sneaking around an empty school, because there is a monster on the second floor of the school. The kid doesn't know it yet, but the monster is a bunch of people stuck together in a slimy heap. He only knows about the monster because of the sounds it makes - like someone slapping a wet mop on the floor.

The school is empty because there is a September 1st assembly going on outside the school. I have no idea if they do something like this in the US, but it was ambiguous whether the adventure was taking place somewhere in the former USSR or somewhere else. It could have been any other event that required all the students to be gathered outside.

There was a clue that the history teacher was telling the kids how before WWII Germany hired people in the USSR for sabotage and they had a secret sign to identify each other - a coin. And he showed this coin. It and the monster were somehow connected. And the child was trying to decide - either to use something from the chemistry class to try to defeat the monster, or not to approach it at all, find a coin and run.

At the same time, another character, also a child, was riding a train and trying to figure out how to send her mother a text message so that she would think it was from her father, who was now on an expedition at a polar station.

Unfortunately I don't know what the context was, but in the dream I really enjoyed watching the player figure out how to do it from a child's point of view.

Time to make some bookssssss

Btw never saw MDF as a book cover material in any tutorial. But right now thin MDF is my favorite material ever... It probably has acid in it or something and I'll find out in 5 years when all my books start yellowing and falling apart, and I will be like "ahhh that's why nobody uses it"

It has some other flaws, like I can't use my favorite method of adding an elastic band. But otherwise love it

Visited a russian-speaking lgbt immigrants fair (god what a mouthful)

It had an extra hour in a ball pit

And this guy who wasn't selling anything he just sat there and painted. I heard him say "well I just excepted a magical way of life"

I'm planning to become this guy when it's time for me to retire

Who knew that I'd find out the origin of the "to prove that you are not a camel" idiom from a screenshot of a bluesky post in English reposted on tumblr dot com

Actually crazy how many references to soviet jokes are still used in russian
