"Surely a tabletop RPG whose conflict resolution mechanics instruct its players to spend all night playing cards doesn't mean it seriously" like, I've bumped into tabletop RPGs whose player-facing instructions have in all apparent sincerity included directives to variously start a fight club, violate the Migratory Birds Act, set your own character sheet on fire, and menace the other players with a knife. You tell me!

i feel like making the ttrpg equivalent of fairie's aire and death waltz is kind of an overdone bit by this point

At least four of the five games name-checked in the initial post are completely playable as written.

word on the street is that you’re worthy of love. yeah no everyone is talking about it

I meant dishes fuck

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)

it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers
