Cthulhu hack, perhaps? I listed to a live play of it by Rusty Quill and it seemed pretty good.

Monster of the Week: Idiot conspiracy theorist needs saving.

That could be the case. I don't know her very well--she's more a friend of a friend; I've only met her a few times in person--but I do know she's an avid LARPer and she always seemed like a decent person. So this could be because she didn't care about 5e, or because she has some sort of weird...

I always make my own sheets (official sheets never have enough room for me), so it's digital. Sometimes I print them out.

You joke, but I know a woman who is, apparently, a very good roleplayer (I know her, but I haven't gamed with her; my friend was running a game for her) but couldn't even remember how to run a champion fighter.

This is me, except it's my mother. My dad, who's actually a professional writer (and editor!) always says to put the work away for a few days--don't look at it, don't even think about it--and then go back and reread it.

Well, my first session went great! I still have to get used to not having people roll for everything, but I'll get there.

I like the idea of giving them a name. Maybe not as an insta-defeat, but as way to make them "real" enough to be fought (or not, as the players decide--they're the type of party that likes to adopt things).

Are we sure those boxes filled with actual product? He'd done mock-ups and presented them as actual product before.

Thanks! I only played a short game once ages ago, but I recall really enjoying it. Heh--knowing my players, they may end up doing that anyway. Or they might just burn them to ashes, just to make sure. Players, amirght?

I'm starting my very first MotW game tomorrow, and I've created a clade of monsters I'm calling lemures: Lemures are unique or mostly unique entities that can basically look and act like whatever I want them to be and can be as intelligent (or bestial) as I need. Due to player background...

Like a cross between improvisational acting and group storytelling. With randomizers.

Ooh... or, honestly, any sort of eldritch aquatic creature where the canals are the walls.

Perhaps there are places where the buildings are close enough together that their attics and crawlspaces are connected--or there are buildings between other buildings that have been boarded up and forgotten. With spells or the right sort of soundproofing (or high enough stealth skills)...

I can agree that what some people try to claim is a fact is not actually a fact. Just to head off a possible direction you might take, people who are bigoted in one way or another try to support their bigotry with "facts" that are actually completely incorrect or at least horribly distorted. So...

How do you decide that what some people are saying is sexist actually isn't?

As I've said many times before, it really depends on the game. I'll bring up Spire again. Every single drow is forced into a "durance"--slavery--for four years, starting in their late teens, and at any other time as a legal punishment for a crime (while there are no cars in this game, it's the...

But what you seem to be saying is that it's OK for there to be sexist stuff, because saying "don't be sexist" is trying to force a single viewpoint on people. I... don't really know what to say to that, other than sometimes, not all viewpoints and not all sides are equally good.

So play those games instead of complaining that a different game isn't including slavery anymore.

No, of course not just one group. But a very large percentage of RPG writers come from a background that, at one point, had African slaves in it. You'll notice that it's pretty common for RPGs to have slaves rounded up by evil slavers (like the idea of rounding up Africans and selling them)...
