Right, but nobody's talking about that? The story that happens during is built on what the players do in it. I'm asking what you mean by that not being story - do you think when peopel talk about making stories they're like, prewriting everything their characters do and then all share it? I'm...

Well, as they say, "watch and information will be revealed". You can also just go read the manga- i t's gorgeous. Also, it never gets less "Delicious" - this is a story about food, and consumption, and desire, and hunger, and the fact that everything you will ever eat was once alive.

That's the same thing, though? Everything that happens in play is definitionally part of the story.

It's certainly good to get reinforcement of the belief that he doesn't know a damn thing about nothing.

Check out Glamour of Our Youth, an FitD game that operates pretty similarly to this for magic spells. Not 1:1 but a good resource for inspiration, probably.

Thrilled that one of the deepest and most dramatic manga of the last decade is getting an adaptation that is 1. actually good 2. not being ruined by NEtflix's standard inept "put every episode up at once so people never talk about it again after a week" model.

A TTRPG setting can be consistent but also anyone can change anything they want about it because they are made up and only exist for you to tell stories with your friends in.

I'm amused at how most of the negative experiences in this thread seem to mostly be "we started a game where nobody had any kind of conversation about what characters they would play and then continued to not have a conversation after we felt like it had negative consequences". Truly, talking...

There's no "making up" here. She asked him to spell her name correctly, he refused, she asked him to use her real first name, he spends 6 years not doing so and then whines about how he's doing her a favor by using her deadname? If he's not transphobic, then he's a selfish tool.

I simply do not approach fiction in this way. Whywould you care if a dragon's wings let it fly or a bullet can go further than it would in real life? It's not real life. It's fiction.

Can anyone point me to the rule in DnD that says if you swallow a big rock it'll mess up your stomach? There's no explicit text saying so, so I assume I can eat a whole bunch of rocks and experience no negative effects.

His response on Twitter to this + the incredibly upsetting to read "On Deadnaming" has certainly made me quite happy to continue ignoring his work. What embarrassing behavior for a grown man to have in 2012 or in 2024.

Hollows whips based on the playtest I did of it last year, and that was before they revised a bunch of stuff to make it work better. Keep an eye out!

I mean, Souichirou does some pretty wild things to try and establish Light's innocence... And also stuff like that happens all the time. Death Note is as much an indictment of Japan's justice system as anything else.

https://rowanrookanddecard.com/hollows-is-coming-soon-and-you-can-playtest-it/ Check out Hollows! It's extremely Bloodborne and all about the slow loss of yourself and also sick-ass boss fights.

Of course not. It's like playing a single video game or watching a single movie. No one TTRPG can do everything (not even GURPS or FATE!), so why constrain yourself to doing one thing over and over?

the incredible beauty of him outright saying he refuses to give his players information. utterly beautiful. the call is coming from inside the house man

The Karrakin Trade Baronies book introduces more robust out-of-mech mechanics, which are very cool and add a lot imo.

Based on the many posts you've made on this forum, you seem to exclusively play with people you don't like. Have you tried playing with your friends? Barring that, try talking to your players about their intentions instead of complaining online?

I'm surprised he didn't think to ask her about it when he posted the original article.
