Just finished a four-session game of Most Trusted Advisors and it absolutely whipped. The street urchins revolted and the game ended when a fireworks-laden goat exploded the crown prince and all the PCs. Thanks for making such a funny game that actually has good mechanics
:] thanmk YOU for having fun with it and sharing. goat wins
i understand why people do it and it's obviously well intentioned but i think mechanically incentivizing the use of safety tools is a silly practice because it then mechanically incentivizes doing things you know will result in safety tools being used. and of course i don't think anyone would actually follow that to its logical conclusion and do that but it is what that kind of mechanization inadvertently makes into 'optimal play' which is imo a bit of an oversight
the best thing you can do to make your ttrpg good is to give it a specific point of view. knowing the limitations of that point of view will free you from the burdens and exhaustion of having to write as a perfect exhaustive external observer while also creating a stronger text that people can remember and connect with
there should be like secret extra editions of dnd that wotc denounces as false like christian apocrypha
now i think you should be allowed to enjoy tabletop games however you like with one exception which is that if you play warhammer 40k, a game that lets you build an army of combat nuns or zombie robots or xenomorphs or british football hooligans or communist smurfs or bdsm elves, and say 'hm, i thikn i will play as the space marines, i like that theyre all a A Big Guy With A Gun', then they should feed yo uto the emperors glowy chair
not to be mean on the computer. i like being nicey. but it is so funny when people say 'you're overanalyzing! the colonialist, racist, imperialist overtones of D&D and its genre bedfellows say nothing about the TTRPG industry as a whole' and then the entire industry including WoTC product leads move like one amorphous nanomachine blob to defend this guy:
