hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.

[orteil42]

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

[clytemnestraaa]

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.

So to you whats the difference between realistic and grounded in terms of rpgs and fictional worlds? Ive only ever hesrd them used as synonyms

grounded: serious thought is given to how the evil wizard's army is managing the logistics of feeding a dragon, even if that doesn't come up directly on the page

realistic: dragons cant fly because of the square cube law

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 !

[txttletale]

cast me as though in a play and then allow me the tools to make the role my own!

[jasminewave]

Okay, but then, why did you sit down at the table? Why are you playing a TTRPG? You don't want to use the mechanics of the game to express a narrative for your character, why are you bothering to play the game at all? You could just go do improv. Or play a video game. Or look into local theater. If you aren't going to create the character, why did you bother showing up at the table?

[doctorstarky]

To push you into unique situations you might not be in if you had more control over character creation.

To explore the reality of how people can not control a lot of the traits they have or the circumstances they're in.

To create fun challenges by forcing you to solve problems with a random set of tools.

To allow new players to jump into the game immediately without needing to learn how to make a character.

[jasminewave]

Starting backwards

-new players should *never* be brought into a game without making a character. If they do, then they do not know the mechanics well enough to use them to play the game. This makes running the game much harder.

-This is a TTRPG, why are you not playing a puzzle game?

-This is a TTRPG, why are you not playing a video game?

-This is a TTRPG, why are you not just going outside and engaging with world?

We are talking about TTRPGs. You don't do the character creation, you aren't playing a TTRPG, you are playing an improv game. In which case why did you bother going to the effort to get the materials to lay the game?

This is a TTRPG. It comes with character creation. If you don't want to do that, why are you playing a TTRPG?

[txttletale]

You don't do the character creation, you aren't playing a TTRPG

*takes the hand of a period drama writer gently* A queen consort is not a queen regnant. A dowager queen is not a queen regnant either.

There is very little intrinsic institutional power in queenship. The power a consort, dowager, or queen mother has depends mostly on how much the reigning sovereign (usually a man) is willing to grant her. Needing a queen to serve as regent is exceptionally rare, and the regent is more often a male relative.

I know this is a bit of a bummer. I'm sorry.

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

For clarity:

Queen regnant: woman who rules in her own right, not on behalf of someone else.

Regent: Someone who temporarily assumes the powers of the monarch on account of the monarch being too young or too incapacitated to govern.

Queen consort: Woman who is married to the monarch.

Dowager queen: Woman who was married to the monarch. The monarch is dead, and she is owed support as his widow.

Queen mother: Woman who is the mother of the monarch. Usually the dowager queen, though there are exceptions if there isn't a straight line of succession.
