Enjoyably surreal.

I feel sorry for them, because the Discworld books have been such a source of fun for me over the last 30 years.

I wasn’t sure I would like the system, but it seems like a good match for a Discworld game.

Okay, so now we know that Earth has the necessary elements for life to form. We won’t be able to confirm it actually has until we go there.

sigh Making CHA my dump stat is gonna fuck me, isn’t it? I roll…

…a natural 20. 😳

It’s not the GM trying to break my spirit, it’s my frickin’ dice. Those little death polygons want to humiliate me by proxy. This is why I bought a creme brulee torch, you little fuckers.

That was a fun read. 🙂

I prefer my uplifting news without the schadenfreude.

I like your posts.

Decide what? I need an answer before I click your link.

This is a creative and clever solution to a problem and I’m totally onboard with it.

When I’m DMing, I always tell myself I’m not gonna tolerate that bullshit.

Some of the chemicals that go into making circuit boards are pretty nasty too. When I was learning about them, arsenic was a component of semiconductors. I don’t know much about the chemistry, but I think having that in your air or leaching into your groundwater would be bad news.

Whenever I’m in a plane about to take off or land I think about how the thing is lifted by differential air pressure and I’m pretty sure we are bullshitting physical reality - and it’ll figure that out any second now.

“If he seduces something from the mineral kingdom now, he’s collected the whole set.”

Knowledge = power = energy = mass, which is why time dilates while you’re in a book shop. (Sorry to Terry Pratchett.)

“You have been lied to” “This will change your life” “This one weird trick”.

I’m a little bit over hyperbolic claims in blog post titles.

Every argument I ever hear against thinking about things in the cool space future boils down to “we couldn’t do it this financial quarter so it’ll never be possible at all”.
