I usually run a #TTRPG as-written and occasionally tweak a couple minor things later (although some may not consider them “minor” in some cases). I sometimes add rules (e.g. a custom subsystem for one adventure). That’s it… except RQG. Oh my gods, RQG needs so much house ruling to work.
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
“Blocky Planet: Making Minecraft Spherical”: achieving this simple premise is a very impressive feat of programming, math, cartography, and several other cool nerdy domains, plus a healthy dose of inspiration. Absolutely genius.
I thought people piling onto the new “War Of The Worlds” movie was maybe be overblown, but after watching the Honest Trailer and Pitch Meeting videos for it, maybe it IS one of the worst movies ever? Which sort of makes me want to watch it?
You like maps? You like space? Here’s the Atlas Of Space, an awesome interactive map of our solar system!
Of course Microsoft Word wants to save your files to the cloud automatically and by default. That’s how they’ll get your stuff to train more genAI, since that’s how public and employee performance are measured these days. The enshittification, and the war against simple local files, continues…
“EU slaps Google with €2.95B fine despite Trump trade threat”: Nice! Maybe that will help Mark Carney find his elbows again and do what he said he’d do.
In last night’s RuneQuest #TTRPG game, our heroes temporarily allied with the Ogre Conspiracy embedded in their tribe in order to take down the local Lunar priest. The plan is to use the Trickster Shaman Assassin in the party plus some Chaos magic. All good, right?
Where did the mountains go? (yes, we’ve been having very very bad air quality here for the last few days)
“I Am An AI Hater”: “Only humans can be haters. I celebrate my humanity.” Sounds good to me.
I love Karren Gillan’s reaction to being cast in the new Highlander… but despite the fancy cast, I doubt it will surpass the awesome unique cheesy/bombastic combination of the original. How can you beat Lambert’s accent, Connery’s mess, Queen’s music, or Clancy Brown?
