Out-of-context Dragonbane session quotes from tonight: “you can’t have a rebound chicken, you need to mourn first”, and “let’s use chicken as AOE attacks!”
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
Tonight’s Dragonbane dice-rolling went well! Also, my players plan to fight the Dead Eyes Cave’s monster by chugging chicken at it, only looking at the chicken and casting Thunderbolt on each one, so that the bolt bounces onto the monster 😂 Of course I’m not going to allow that 🤣
Yes of course, it’s obviously a “similar ETA” to take little detours at each intersection, as opposed to driving straight… did Google enable GenAI in Maps?
“I love <XYZ> as a TTRPG system because it’s easy to hack!”
Bruh, almost all systems are easy to hack, except the super-specific modern indie games you probably don’t play.
When I don’t make rhubarb pies, I make peach melbas. It’s very commonly found on dessert menu in French restaurants, but pretty much nowhere to be seen in North America so I have to take this matter into my own hands!
The morning god peeled off the night’s plastic wrap a bit too fast and now the sky’s all messed up.
By the way, Dario Visaggio’s “open letter about Unreal Engine 6” is pretty spot on: “Epic is slowly shifting its focus away from empowering developers and toward serving a platform strategy.” This is what a few of us (now laid off) had been complaining about internally for a year.
Hahaha so Unity announced version 7, and between “it’s all compatible, you won’t have to rebuild everything” and “here’s some genAI stuff but you can ignore it if you want”, I can’t help but think it’s a direct shot at Unreal Engine 6.
The funny thing is that historical inaccuracy IS historically accurate when it comes to the Iliad and the Odyssey, because Homer wrote the thing at least 400 years later, and got a bunch of details wrong about, like, Bronze Age warfare for instance!
Looking up tech news this week, it seems we have the choice between dystopian communist AI and dystopian capitalist and/or nazi AI? That’s, err, that’s the choice here?
