The Stochastic Game

Ramblings of General Geekery

Not only was The Mysterious Benedict Society cancelled after season 2, but now it’s been removed from Disney+ to “cut costs” (i.e. not pay royalties) At this point why not cancel all my streaming subscriptions and pirate everything? The user experience would be much better.

Heh, I offered my #TTRPG players a few options for an interlude before we start Band of Blades, and of course they piled onto the one option that lets them play #GURPS again! 😅

I tested a waist leash for hiking with the dog this morning… a bit tricky sometimes but works okay!

We have a strict rotation for Friday restaurants, and this week is ramen! 🍜 Local connoisseurs will surely recognize where this is!

An interesting take on #TTRPG skilled vs unskilled rolls from The Fantasy Trip:

Extract from The Fantasy Trip: Players may ask, for instance, “Why can’t I try to climb that tree without the Climbing talent? Everybody can climb!” The answer is “Easy trees require no roll, harder trees might just require a DX or ST roll. The Climbing talent is for things that everybody can’t climb.”
