I think science is pretty cool

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

* you have power

* you're safe

You get to play at having power over someone else. This is your dominance sorts of things, your sadisms, etc.

You get to play safely. You can play with scary things while knowing there's safewords and a dom/top who loves you.

Problem Player: The player who insists their PC is the only canon PC and all the other players characters are "non-canonical OCs"

Solution: Declare their PC non-canon. This will, in their mind, render the entire game non-canon, allowing them enjoy the game again as a non-canon AU where the other PCs exist.

Problem Player: The player who keeps powerscaling your setting and insisting the goblins are "haxx-based low diff mutliversal" or some shit.

Solution: Just use your chain-scaling outerversal massively FTL smurfing to solo stomp 10/10 the argument

Problem Player: The player who never shows up, and none of you remember meeting, and when you search their social media you just get images of your own death.

Solution: Leave a message carved into the bones of an unburied heretic beneath the new moon asking them if they're still around and, if there's still no reply, you may need to find a new player.

Problem Player: The player from an 80s PSA who thinks they're here to pledge themselves to Satan and is clearly disappointed this is a roleplaying thing.

Solution: Sadly, this is just a find a different game group thing. Luckily, there's plenty of Old School Revival games that apply modern game design to the old-school satanic recruitment style that you can recommend them.

Problem Player: Jock who doesn't care about this nerd shit and is just here to impress their nerd crush.

Solution: This one is just a waiting game - by act three, they'll realise that they actually love RPGs in a big emotional climax. Make sure to have the game involve heavy-handed symbolism for the jock's personal problems to speed up the narrative.

Problem Player: Inhuman creature who's wearing the skin of one of the game group and is clearly planning to devour you all.

Solution: Don't be racist! This thing came from the Andromeda galaxy to hang out with you, the least you can do is let it play our human games and give it some snacks.

Problem Player: Sheldon Cooper

Instead of day and night, there's various color mixing of the different suns sharing the sky as they take turns rising and setting. Every now and then the five suns are all in the sky at once, which is immediately followed by the only occasional true night.

"Should we meet at purple?"

"Nah, I've got a doctor's appointment at purple, maybe green?"

No, seriously, hear me out.

The general explanation for why vampires drink blood is that it's symbolic of life. Blood keeps you alive, blood is the sign of a living being, etc. But you know what else is very clearly and consistently symbolic of life around multiple traditions?

Semen.

It''s the fluid that produces new life, so multiple theological, mystical and cultural stories have it as connected to life energy, life, creation, etc. So it makes sense that a vampire should be able to live on it by the same symbolic reasoning.

(Possible party for setting) Party are tax collectors, collecting the bodies of those who mived away and died
