Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that
Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated
I made a pretty big gamble in my Masks game tonight and I'm pleased to say my players loved it.
So one of my players plays Cypher, the Protégée to a mentor who is a detective superhero whose archnemesis is the Spider, a faceless villain behind a crime syndicate (her mentor is essentially a cop but that only makes her more fun to rebel against)
As a GM, the Spider was one of the first NPCs I created. The players only ever interacted with them through their underlings (a coterie of bug themed villains I'm pretty proud of). I've had plans to introduce the Spider under their civilian identity for a couple sessions now, but the opportunity never came up. To be clear, the investigation into who the Spider is isn't core to the campaign, they're mostly a background villain I use as an excuse to make the mentor have demands of Cypher.
Toight, while interacting with one of these underlings (or former underlying, it's complicated) Cypher's player decided to trigger her moment of truth, which are essentially trump cards that can be used once or twice per campaign, give the players a ton narrative control and make a playbook's core conflict shine. The Protégée is as follows:
The moment that you show who you really are: your mentor, or something different. You can do whatever your mentor could do and more. You can do the incredible, even the things they always failed to accomplish. Of course, they’re not going to see you the same way, no matter which path you choose…
As a result, by rejecting the cold distance and superiority of her mentor and chosing to show understanding, Cypher uncovered a crucial clue that leads her to discovering who the Spider is, a perfect interpretation of "the things they always failed to accomplish". But this left me in an awkward position since I hadn't yet introduced the Spider's civilian identity, it would've been underwhelming to say "he's this guy you've only heard of couple times and never met" so I just turned it back on my player and asked her to tell me who it was.
What followed was a great moment where everyone pitched cool ideas about which NPC could've been the Spider all along, everyone bouncing ideas to justify their motives etc, while giving Cypher's player final say. We finished the session without a clear answer but several ideas I'm really excited about, Cypher's player will give her final answer next session and no one was bummed by not getting a "true" answer (which I still offered btw)
there are many people who like to walk into a ttrpg having invented a blorbo in their mind and have the ttrpg to give them the tools to realize that blorbo and all the best to them i am so thoroughly not one of those people. give me a playbook that prescribes a very specific narrative role. give me a pregen character i have to play as. give me a dozen big stupid tables to roll up a guy on. give me some god damn lifepaths !
cast me as though in a play and then allow me the tools to make the role my own!
Yesterday, my friend and I saw a flyer for a longboarding contest this weekend that included beginner classes and decided on a whim to go this morning. It was a blast and I haven't been this excited about exercising in forever, this is the beginning of my sk8er boi summer I'm afraid.
Keep thinking about this Austin Walker post that now lives in my brain. It's a reply to people saying genAI can help creators 'develop concepts' and waste less time on research (x)

an important qualifier to my complaining about how the dnd ecosystem and its consequences place a lot of weight on gms as hasbro employees is that I actually am someone who enjoys making homebrew mechanics tableside and writing hundreds of words of lore for every random npc players ask about, it's just that it takes the fun out of doing it when it's understood as Part Of The System instead of going above and beyond, like you're hosting a party
holy shit the portugese covers for the imperial radch trilogy are so cool... the colours! the style!! the way the edges of the covers form a pattern together!!!
J'ai bien évidemment choisi speak your own language day pour ne pas ouvrir tumblr avant 23h30, donc voilà un post en français de dernière minute.
"I don't let go. It's my one thing"

THE DAY OF LANGUAGES!!!
This 7th of May, 2026, we use our own language again!
If your language, native or not, is something other than English, on May 7th you're encouraged to speak that language all day!
You’ll blog in your chosen language(s) all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organisational tags).
Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you can answer in your own.
Non-verbal, non-written languages (like sign language and dialects) are more than welcome!
English native speakers can participate in any other language they're studying/have studied/know.
The tag is gonna be #Speak Your Language Day or #spyld for short.
Please submit me some language facts for me to share on this day <3
