today on the podcast @NSOrvis and @techxni sit down with @mike_sell -- their conversation focuses on the affordances of making shared references to media and pop culture in TTRPG play and TTRPGs as engines for participatory dramaturgy.

I was in Jenin and I cannot explain how ruthless the Israeli military is being.
The city is like a ghost town and the refugee camp is a collective torture chamber.
Israeli practices in Jenin include:
Mass arrests including minors,
Blowing up homes of civilians
Denying entry of food, water, medics
The children that managed to escape are traumatized, they’re nothing but tears and shock.
Everyone is unable to fully recognize this unprecedented violence and at such an intensity.
Jenin is another Gaza in terms of violence being inflicted.
This with the addition of "produced or created" (who is fueling the periodic large downloads of one very specific @DNDramaNerds episode????)!

So great to get to talk to @jdragsky for this episode - super knowledgeable and approachable about all things BOB/NDNM, which is becoming one of my favorite TTRPG forms!
NEW EPISODE!
Join @NSOrvis and @techxni in conversation with @jdragsky as they talk all things Belonging Outside Belonging, including No Dice No Masters as a guiding design principle and the evolution of the system over time.

Thinking about how it would be reported if the ex-president of a non-Western country was ruled immune from prosecution by a panel of judges he himself appointed
Nicholas Orvis retweeted
I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.
This is one of the great things about Party of One—we’ve also been thinking similar things over at @DNDramaNerds

Actual Play is not necessarily an actor’s medium. It *can* be but too often recently I’ve seen the form limiting itself and shows like Party of One really do wonders for reminding me how wide the artform is and can be.
