My brain is currently stuck in a loop thinking about a theoretical TTRPG where the combat is like smash bros. I don’t even really know what that means or what it would look like, it’s just stuck in my head like a song.

The game developer community is just really full of positive people. Especially in the indie scene. Everyone supports each other. There's a good vibe everywhere. They just want each other's games to do well. You're all an inspiration!🥰

Russian Pokedex Translation: From 2001 up to this very day, an unofficial Kanto Pokedex was distributed all throughout Russia. All 157 entries and artwork are bizarre and pretty hilarious. Here's the full 2 hour translation, good for background watching: youtube.com/watch?v=2LU77t-H…

It's amazing how many people are like "if you just give them the right facts, they'll be converted!" we literally know, through science, that people will refuse facts outright if those facts contradict what they already believe.

I'm pretty sure I'm on record as saying most books don't need a "what is an RPG" section but my view on that has shifted over the past year as I've introduced more and more complete newbies to RPGs through my own games. Short 🧵

Replying to @stargazersasha
the intro section is rough.
what is a roleplaying game? google “actual play RPG”. watch a video for a few minutes. that. that’s a roleplaying game. for the vast majority of its playtime, DIE is a conversation between everyone at the table. players describe what they want their characters to do. the gamemaster (GM) generally says what happens. for actions which are uncertain, the rules of the game are used to ascertain what happens. fun is had.

We've spent the last three months investigating what's really been happening behind-the-scenes with Disco Elysium. We've been to Estonia, interviewed both sides of the dispute and discovered so much more nuance than you'll have heard up until now. Link below!
