With as many TTRPG systems as I've made cats in, people should be using my inbox to get my opinions on different games' character creation systems.
wait I forgot I closed my inbox during a rush of weird spam a month or so ago lemme turn that back on.
me: to really understand Frankenstein, we have to take into account that Mary Shelley was surrounded by creative men who really didn’t take her seriously, so in addition to sci-fi horror, it can also be read as an exploration of female creative frustration and-

Of the Devil Episode 2 spoilers!!!!!!!!
The session I had playing this game with friends a couple days ago was god-tier.
That moment between Morgan and London was so uncharacteristically mundane for Morgan I really enjoyed it. A palpable moment of understanding between the two. I love their dynamic.
say what you will about john mcafee (and you should.) but that guy could fucking post
all timer
i was like, mcafee? as in the anti-virus software? and then a cursory glance at his wikipedia page was similar to being punched in the face multiple times
hey remember when people said we gotta keep talking about this and then two days passed and it just went quiet. anyways
Years ago I saw a Lord of the Rings display at Barnes and Noble that included a Hallmark-style greeting card with Frodo on the front and inside text that read: “We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me.”
And I have been thinking about that card ever since, desperately wishing I had bought it, and wondering what the fuck kind of occasion would warrant a card featuring that sentiment.
weirdly enough, i have actually been the recipient of that exact card. it was a birthday card from someone who knew i loved lotr but didn’t really know much about the actual movie, but i feel like she should’ve been clued into the ‘wtf’ vibe from the incredibly agonized face frodo is making on the front of the card.
If you still have that card… I would do anything to see a photo of it. You can cover up the personalized message, but I really, really, really want to see proof that this card existed and was not the product of my overactive imagination.
@glumshoe I FOUND IT!!
I’d forgotten just how close to death Frodo looks on the front, not to mention Sam’s agonized face and the very odd stylistic choice of including the Ring instruction and the Eye of Sauron in the background. who the hell is the target audience for this?
Fuck!!!! It’s so much better than I remembered!
What sentiment is this supposed to CONVEY
Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:
Fiction is not reality.
You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.
No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.
No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.
You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.
Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.
The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.
Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.
Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.
You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

After looking at Dr. Who 2E I kinda want to go look at the first edition to see if it was always That Bad or if the supposedly award-winning Vortex System was ALWAYS just vibes, no codified terms.
I'm thinking about this while editing the next LiteralCatPod episode, this game just FEELS like it wasn't designed to be played. Like they just wanted to create an updated lore bible people would have more incentive to buy than they would the typical expansions.
There's even issues we ran into while making our cat, like, why is the literal first step of character creation, after making a loose, one-word concept, deciding on your character motivations? And there's not, like, help here. Just multi-paragraph descriptions of characters from the Thirteenth Doctor's run and THEIR motivations. No tables, no prompts or questions. Just relevant Lore, as essentially the first thing you decide after filling out what the game itself describes as a self-descriptive title that'd fit on a business card.
This ONLY works if you already have either a strong idea or fully-fleshed character in mind. Otherwise it makes far more sense to fill this out AFTER filling out things like stats and origins, because between your character's personal strengths, their place of origin, and current career, you can start to guess what they might want for themself.
It's like they didn't do a bit of playtesting of this part outside making existing Doctor Who Characters as Pregens.
ALSO why does so much of this book, an RPG about adventuring alongside someone whose stubborn adherence to Do No Harm frequently puts people in MORE danger, describe things like they'll end up as Combat encounters? NONE of the stats are combat-focused! Stop talking like I'm gonna be fighting threats to the universe. At best we're gonna ragebait them and you know it.
I have taken issue with plenty of games we've covered on the show, sometimes my issues even make it into the episode. I genuinely don't think I've ever before taken SUCH issue with the way an RPG was presented that I've felt the need to talk about it BEFORE the episode in question even came out, but Man. This Thing Sucks.

"They go to SEX CLUBS and pretend to be DOGS!"
Yeah well you go to church every Sunday and pretend to be a good person
Some of yall will be like Omg I love this character <33 and then be talking about a bastardization of that character so extreme that is now just your oc with the same name
I did not write this to be a "Haha everyone does that its so funny" thing I wrote it to try and make some of you realize that while headcanons can be fun when you get to a point where your interpretation of a character is entirely unrecognizable from the original just make an oc what is the point of trying to claim its that character. Also so many of you just straight up are playing into racial stereotypes when you do this like you Seriously need to think of how you're interacting with characters of color and which characters you're headcanoning as poc. So many of you play into the mammy stereotype or the unemotional/hypersexualized asian sterotypes without even fucking realizing it and I'm sick of seeing it. Could yall take two seconds to think critically about how you're interacting with characters because it doesn't matter if you're playing into racist caricatures unintentionally its still racism.
England isn't a real country, stupid. England is a lie to sell you more Doctor Who
Wales is real though, where else would they film Doctor Who
