The Stochastic Game

“How Blackwing Pencils are Made”: I love these kinds of videos, especially when it comes to products I use myself and enjoy.

“You Can’t Own A Video Game Because Other People Also Own Video Games”: Sony is completely unhinged.

This is reminder number 214 that until governments regulate all this shit, the only way to own anything is piracy.

“Time Without Tide” looks nice but it somehow doesn’t feel to me like a Chaosium game, and I think the reason isn’t the system, but the fact that Chaosium always made “literary games”: based on mythology and history, fantasy novels, horror stories, etc. TWT isn’t any of that?

Hey I’m fishing!

On my way to go on a boat fish some salmon or something.

As always, I draw a pencil sketch that I’m pretty happy with, then I start adding colour, and within a couple minutes the whole thing looks like shit and I hate it. Painting is sooo harrrrdd

Oh interesting, Studio Aardman is working on a stop-motion animated Pokemon series, to be released next year. I hope it gives them a shitload of money to spend on other future projects.

Just got my notification from the Government of Canada: export restrictions are now at 50% on TTRPG meta-currencies to the US. American players in your games only get half XP, bennies, hero-points, level bumps, and so on. Good on Carney to do the right thing!

I was only recently made aware of “Too Many Cooks”. Amazing.

My players, back in the early 2000s, when they realize that GURPS has optional rules for aiming at very specific hit locations: https://gizmodo.com/at-least-50-men-in-this-roman-mass-grave-were-hit-in-the-same-sensitive-spot-2000802847
