Work on a hardcopy starts today
I will be starting on a re-usable one shot called Alien Arena today. Players represent evil corpos that send their alien creatures into an arena that the players create. Aliens are generated by a python program and the hardcopy will include some tech cards and kilodice. My goal is to have it crowd sourced in 2026. SRD https://rules.expgame.com/
All the baddies of this large corpo were relentless cigarette smokers. Turns out they were actually smoke aliens in human balloon bags.
Could also be used as 109 or 3 sided die.
Steaming Service. For steamed chicken.
Amanda Palmer was proposing something like this using block chain.
SpookShow
SpookShow at #hamont #fringe is a great combination of story telling and magic. http://hftco.ca/!
Using it. Loving it.

because they struggle with punctuation and paragraph structure instead we should foster an inclusive environment that values the content and intent of their communication rather than its adherence to rigid formalities additionally there are cultural differences in writing styles that must be considered what is deemed appropriate or acceptable in one language or cultural context may not hold true in another imposing a universal standard for punctuation and paragraph use would ignore these important variations and contribute to a homogenization of global communication that undermines cultural diversity therefore while punctuation and paragraphs undoubtedly play a crucial role in enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of written communication it is neither practical nor fair to enforce their use universally across all forms of media doing so would overlook the rich diversity of expressive styles the unique challenges faced by different individuals and the evolving nature of language itself instead we should encourage a more flexible and inclusive approach to writing that respects and accommodates the myriad ways in which people choose to express themselves
If GeckOS doesn't work out... SUSEbanthony, LazySUSE, SUSEsarandon, DrSUSE, uSUSEalsuspects, OkcanSUSE (must be sung)... #puns
I am pretty sure having 250 tabs open at once would require a very wide screen. ;) I installed Linux Mint on a Lenovo, but I looked very closely at Tuxedo machines at the same time.
1.5 terabytes of text is a staggering amount of data, and that is just one channel. The thought of that much ”talking" going on in one company is overwhelming.
I love the fediverse. I live in Canada. I don't get what this is. Can someone do an ELI5?
A good compromise. When 20000 people have a great time watching a scheduled event that seems fair. Peeps can make preparations to participate or avoid.
Made some things for RPG peeps
Made some things to support #ttrpg outliers. A kilodie roller for assisting attack tables in EXP, and 4d2 roller for assisting #rpg decisions.
Going from #python to JSHTMLCSS pronounced jushtumulksis is tough, but manipulating the DOM is very cool. I wouldn't want to be hating anything else.
Not that i was gonna track them down, but blurring the license plate seems ironic in this case.
You have demonstrated great insight into the challenges of being a referee in an RPG. You will find your way. Here are a few tips that I can convey as I have made nearly every referee mistake possible. ;)
To help remember things engage your players in the story. Have them do recaps of the show so far, the session night and even a what happened last time. It is shocking how much we forget as referees even though we have created the scenario and taken notes. Collective memory for a collective experience. There will be errors. There will be retcons (which we used to call post factualization). That is the nature of improvised collective experiences.
Preparation is good. However the game is there for the whole table and "letting your darlings" go is even more important in collective experiences as it is in writing. Consider the elements that don't get used as future ideas. It is more important to balance referee and player needs. I am sure there are multiple threads here about "rail roading" vs "sand boxing" if the table is happy (this includes the referee) then you are doing stuff right. It is also okay to have a debrief once in a while after session. Players can let the referee know what is working for them and vice versa.
I have been improvising comedy for a long time and being able to do things out of the blue takes practise. It also takes specific practice in narrative and listening. Making things work out of the box like a board won't ever happen in an RPG. Even a board game requires everyone to learn the rules and story. Learn to prep with checklists. Sometimes even flowcharts are needed. Notes should be one or two word reminders never sentences.
Troika looks insanely wonderful. A game after my cybernetic heart. There is a free online resource about improv comedy at learnimprov.com.

I created this community about half a year ago to learn how to create a community. I was fully expecting the usual complete absence of humanity that most other socials entail. Needless to say I was pleasantly shocked to have a real person ask a question. I will try and pin this to the top. Maybe humans will be interested maybe not. :)
EXP is a sciency fiction tabletop role-playing game. EXP is not a video game, a movie or an app. You play EXP with dice and other people. Enjoy.
EXP is a heavily play tested, rigorously edited, RPG on its 7th version. It has a history that stretches from a 1970s home brew to yesterday’s git push. EXP is under active development. The game is Free and open source (CC 4.0 share with attribution), and available on the web or GitHub. EXP was inspired by the RPGs Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World.
The game itself is mythos light sciency fiction with loads of tech, mutations, and lots of rules. Settle combat with a tactical war game like system or a story b

I like my cold turkey with cranberries and dressing. No plan to quit.
It is concerning when a IRL political figure uses a term that was a joke in a marrionette movie (Team America World Police).
This is a very fun thread!

As if this is even needed. Getting lost in Ikea is part of their layout. He probably got arrested because it accidentally showed people the exit.
