The Stochastic Game

I learned to be a good #TTRPG gamemaster by watching Macross Plus: I show my players love by putting their characters in mortal danger!

Sure, officer, I ran that Stop sign, but hey, this is the day of the year I listen to Earth Wind & Fire all day long, and Philip was about to hit that mind-blowing high note on “Fantasy”, in the “Live At Velfarre” album! You just can’t stop before that happens!

Of Oz the Wizard, an Alphabetized Version of The Wizard of Oz: I love this! See also the alphabetized Star Wars further down in the article… you gotta skip ahead a bit to get to some proper words.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

Joining the trend of Disney+ cancellations because that seems like a fun thing to do!

It will probably also be fun to see people move towards piracy and realize it’s actually quite easy and the user experience is superior.

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: an insightful look into the performative and toxic “art” of conservative debaters. Also check out the link to the video analysis of one of Charlie Kirk’s debates, it’s quite interesting.

Yesterday we got back into Dragonbane after a long hiatus… and we all forgot how brutal combat is if the players don’t act as a team! The White Death isn’t gonna go hungry!

I know we are in the middle of a renovation and we don’t have a kitchen or a table right now, but my wife decided to go to Denny’s for breakfast and I just don’t know if we can come back from that as a couple.

Last night in #RuneQuest, the party’s trickster was ceremoniously kicked out of the city state for attempted murder of a local noble… who is probably an ogre. Now this provides plausible deniability for that same trickster to murder the local Lunar priest with help from that same ogre. LOGIC!

Robin-Yann Storm’s video on “why game developers are skeptical of AI” is very good and you should watch it even if you’re not a game developer.
