#RPGLATAM #TTRPG #SelfPromoSaturday

READ THIS GAME. Seriously.

If you want to see science fiction in games, this is the best there is. It's so beautiful, powerful. It should be one of those sci-fi games everyone talks about instead of yet another dungeon crawl in space.

Playadito > Taragüí

Nibiru is the best sci-fi game I've read.

Sociologically speculative sci-fi of a divergent Mesopotamian culture living in an inhospitable space mega-structure.

Treat yourself, back this #RPGLatAm project.

"This is relevant to my interests"

Better start lawyering up...

I'm in the process of reading Unknown Armies 3E and that shit is funny as fuck.

Agreed. I think that a sense of humor being part of personhood means that humor seeps into game design, as long as you aren't dehumanizing yourself to make it.

Whedonese, Marvel-style self-awareness is as in-human as technical writing, to me. Designing earnestly is inherently humorous.

On one hand, seeing yet another Honey-Heist, design-for-the-tweet type of game makes me wanna throw up

On the other hand, reading yet another furniture-assembly games manual makes me wanna fall into a coma.

Maybe it lies in conveying humanity in the text, which inherently has some kind of humor.

💯 this.

Also, the people of the Dying Earth are nihilistic & decadent.

T'sain / T'sais have a chance at being decent because they come from another dimension, but most people on Earth suck, & good people are usually the punchline.

Only Etarr, & to a degree Guyal & Ulan Dhor seem to be "good".

"Fandom deserves to be taken seriously" I actually can't think of anything more desperately in need of being taken LESS seriously.

Never would've thought Trump was a VtM fan.

It is not an enlightened take to say that you need combat rules for simulation but can handle roleplaying everything else. It demonstrates such a lack of perspective that one must ask why you even chose ttrpgs in the first place.

TTRPG discourse is like: "Sell me on Apocalypse World. I hate it. Partly because the people I play with don't actually play according to the rules and I think that's the game's fault. Also, I've made up a thing about it I don't like. Also, my friends don't like acts of collaborative creativity."

You should never be afraid to ask tabletop RPG authors dumb questions about their games because that's literally how we tell whether or not what we wrote is working.

End of the Line? The Future of Thought Punks Right now I am sitting in clothes that are falling apart, watching bills stack up, with bike I can't use and a stalled fundraiser. Thanks for the signal boosts and shares. I genuinely mean that. But visibility does not equal help, and a thousand eyes on a crisis does not stop the bleeding. The fund

Facing a hard reality here.

Aw Keftiu, that's extremely cute. I guess that powerful magnet really works!

I don't think the goal is to reduce, but rather to point at a singular facet of a very large problem, that traces it's roots to many issues (historic, cultural, editorial, etc.), one of which is the mechanics.

It's not a matter of "these games are for assholes, these are not", but rather, "we see this type of asshole gravitate towards these types of games, and these types of assholes gravitate to this other type of game."
