today there was a “flash mob” set up by the seniors because it was their second to last day so they blasted the macarena over the loud speaker and did the dance in the main lobby but our headmaster knew about it so it wasn’t even funny but whilst walking past the elevator i found out why they really did this so called “flash mob”

it was a distraction

they put chickens in the elevator

[tipsykipsy]

This was wild because I forgot your high schoolers are called seniors and I thought you were talking about old folks

Something indie tabletop RPG authors have got to accept is that random dice tables of Weird Shit cannot be brief. A haunted doll that looks like the party leader's mother as a child is creepy in isolation, but when it comes up four times in one session because the table it's on only has like twelve entries it's a running gag.

[prokopetz]

As a very general rule, a table of Oddly Specific Shit that's expected to be used more than once per session needs at least 20 entries total per roll beyond the first. There's a reason the d100 table is popular beyond pleasing symmetry; it's just the right size to be rolled on half a dozen times per session without constantly kicking out incongruous duplicates.

DM: okay you’re face to face with Goliath and he’s like twice your size

David:... I throw a rock at him with my slingshot

DM: are you sure? This is a fig-

David: I throw a rock at him with my slingshot.

David: *rolls a 20*

DM:...

DM: okay so you kill Goliath

this is so much funnier if you assume the DM is God.

"It's better to do one thing well than two things poorly" is definitely a solid rule in game design, but I have to admit a weakness for old console games that were basically two different games stacked on top of each other. Zelda II: The Adventures of Link (top-down exploration overworld which becomes a side-scrolling action platformer in dungeons), Blaster Master (side-scrolling metroidvania which becomes a top-down arcade shooter in dungeons), and The Guardian Legend (top-down action RPG which becomes a vertical shoot-'em-up in dungeons) are all titles I remember fondly, but I think my favourite example of the type is the Super Nintendo version of Jurassic Park, which has a brightly coloured Legend of Zelda style top-down overworld, then when you go inside buildings it becomes a survival-horror first person shooter. It's a game-mechanically incomprehensible choice which actually makes perfect sense in terms of emulating the source material, and it's a small disappointment to me that nobody's ever made a serious effort at elaborating on it.
