The Stochastic Game

Good night everyone

Ready to go to ChaosiumCon! I’m only running one game this year, my all-Telmori action thriller for RuneQuest, but doing plenty other stuff!

It’s very useful to have a well defined campaign framework, with players making characters that fit the premise, but sometimes I like letting players make whatever character they want for the setting and I figure out the campaign premise from them! Fun challenge #ttrpg

Poker Face was great fun! A great homage to Columbo, it never matches the cleverness of its mysteries, but makes up for it in humour, great characters, and varied locales. Natasha Lyonne channels Peter Falk like nobody, but also builds a great original character.

Future Man is way better than I expected! I haven’t laughed out loud this much since The Good Place. Wolf is so good, the story goes to absolutely bonkers places, it’s amazing. Now going into season 2, let’s see if it holds the distance.

Well, that’s it, I finished watching the entire Babylon 5 series. Good stuff overall! It felt dated at first but we got into it pretty quickly, although my wife lost interested after the Shadow War. My favourite character was probably Vir!

The Conspiracy has arrived! It’s great nostalgia to see all this stuff again, and a delight to see Dennis’ new take on classic illustrations #DeltaGreen #ttrpg

Love this title: “People Who Caused Traffic Nightmare At Pretty Tree Festival Complain Of Traffic Nightmare At Pretty Tree Festival“… see also: people who chose to live far from public transit using lack of public transit to justify driving

“It’s Not the Bike Lane’s Fault You’re a Bad Driver“

Brilliant: a review of a gasoline car from the point of view of someone who has only ever known electric vehicles
