Modernise your game with the Pathfinder Remaster books. -
What's funny about academic attempts to study RPGs is that they fall between the cracks.the broader hobby doesn’t value analysis
You mean looking up RPGBOT and selecting all of the blue options isn’t rigorous study?

We must learn about his entire life.dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org Oh, no, I mean they literally told me “I thought this was going to be like being characters in a book, where there’s a clear plot we’re following. Can you make it more like that?” And so I did.
Then they found The Thing during one of the sessions I was running while trying to actually structure things in the background. It was something I didn’t think was significant, but I probably should have seen it coming.
It… was not part of the restructuring work I was doing. It was part of the holding pattern “random bullshit” I was throwing at them for a few weeks.
Anyway, the campaign is about that now.

We must learn about his entire life.dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org This is why I did not plan long term plots for my family game, and then the chaos monkeys decided they wanted one.
So I put one together.
They ignored it.

Is nihilism common for auties?osanna@lemmy.vg There’s a vast, vast gulf between “life is not imbued with inherent meaning” and “I just don’t see the point in anything”. Nihilism, as a world view, isn’t generally crippling. It just boils down to “this is what this is, and nothing more”.
You don’t sound like a nihilist, you sound deeply depressed. You can be a nihilist and depressed, but what you’re expression sounds much more like depression rather than nihilism.

A problem I sense with any fantasy ttrpg setting that includes ancestries with vastly different life spans: how the hell is “a thing that hasn’t been seen in centuries” supposed to work?Also worlds should be big. The fact that one thing happened three hundred years ago two continents over might not be known to even a handful of folks from million strong ancestry that doesn’t live there.
This. We can’t even get people today, with instant global communication, to pay attention to things that are going on a few cities over, let alone on the other side of the globe. People focus on the problems they have, not the events going on outside their own bubbles.

An incomplete list of absolutely bonkers abilities from official Pathfinder 2e monsterssad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz That’s just the Level 83 Bristle Boar. Unfortunately, Archives of Nethys believes it’s only a Level 3 monster.

I am so angry and disappointed at all the left- and center-wing commentators who bought into the right-wing framing of "parent's rights" as being more important than children's rights.this is to protect the children from big tech!"
It’s almost as if the people doing the thing that people need to be protected from should be forced to stop doing that thing, rather than the apparent victims having to be the ones restrained and restricted.
Besides, it’s not like the things that are harmful to children are somehow magically not harmful to adults. If big tech is hurting us, and they’re in an oligopoly position such that we can’t really avoid them, then arguments about adults getting to be free to make choices don’t really hold up. So… Burn them all.
Not that any of this is to protect people, children or otherwise.

How come I can generally not tell between an Autistic person, and a neurotypical.My guess would be, because there are many more people with strong autistic traits out there than there are with diagnoses, thanks to autism, medically, being a disorder rather than just a ‘neurotype’, and the bar to be labelled with a disorder can be rather high, and also that you are probably mostly having your meaningful or significant interpersonal interactions with people who have high levels of traits that are similar to your own neurotype.
