put 'em the wash

RPG rules are bad, this much we know. Whenever you're using the rules that's not roleplaying, that's what I like to call ruleplaying. Or rollplaying if you're nasty. The most important part of roleplaying games is that the rules are bad and the enemy. And that knowing that you have to ignore the rules is the most important part of being a GM. We have to keep buying the rule books though so we can not read them. Just so we know which rules to ignore. There can be no such a thing as a good rule because rules means that you're not roleplaying. Asking for game rules to be good instead of bad and to be ignored is like asking me to roleplay while I am rolling the dice (rollplaying). My favorite game is D&D 5e, a game famous for not having rules.

Ideally whatever you play should have a lot or most of its page count dedicated to rules for something you don't want to do so that you can ignore them harder

The person who tagged this as "Brennan Lee Mulligan:" has seen the light of the truth.

Ok ive seen y'all complain about Brennan for a while now and now I have to ask what did the guy do??? I just know him from being incredibly funny on dropout shows, I know he has a DND podcast but just,,, playing dnd can't possibly make him this much of an antagonist here so what did he do???

Brennan is a perfect amalgamation of the Whose Line is it Anyway effect (a group of professional comedians and actors doing really common improv games and making them look fun and easy) and the Reality TV Paradox (a guy with a massive media budget and writing rooms full of people both writing a script and ensuring that any unforeseen random elements can be edited and recontextualized into the predetermined script) that is everything wrong with Big Actual Plays, on top of actively shilling for the worst toy making company to have ever existed. I absolutely believe Brennan is a swell person and probably fun to talk to. I do not think his shows are anything but a sham and a commercial for the worlds most overmarketed rpg.

I do really love it when women write graphic and fucked up things. I feel like so often people react to fucked up fiction with “of course a disgusting man would write this 🙄” and it often carries an unspoken (honestly sometimes spoken) message of “a woman’s PURE and DELICATE and FEMININE mind could NEVER think of something this VILE”. Thank you women in fucked up fiction 🫡

okay this is a list of exclusively bangers, not even counting the fact that WE HEXED THE MOON is on here which obviously makes me feel joyous. but kushiel's dart fuckin RULES as did on sundays she picked flowers and patricia wants to cuddle. 10/10 no notes

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

small kindnesses to yourself, done consistently, add up to something huge over time. start today, however small

Confidence is believing in ourselves and our abilities. It gives us the courage to try new things and face challenges. Confident people are not afraid of making mistakes, as they see them as opportunities to learn. Confidence comes from practice and self-belief, helping us to achieve our goals and feel proud of who we are. It's a key to success and happiness.

Edward’s such a fucking know it all Bella can ask him the dumb random questions we all asked Siri when Apple first started pushing it like “what’s the gestational period for elephants?” and he’s so thrilled that he can tell her without missing a beat: “twenty-two months, my love”
