A thing I've been enjoying since returning to comedy is explaining the concept of a gong show to non-comedy friends and seeing their undisguised looks of disgust

Boost it, share it, get it (if you haven't already) here. And if you want the physical copy, you have two weeks left to late pledge on the kickstarter.

I think it's neat to include sentences in rpgs that are simply really fun to read
Sprinkle some tongue twisters in there

The cover and back page of a zine entitled "regime change super soldiers"
![A collection of political games by Laurie O’Connel, this incomplete anthology comments on political violence, war and imperialism. O’Connel’s modern take on the somewhat restrictive form of the role-playing game asks what a game writer or player living through the death agony of the US empire can possibly say about topics which are not at all “fun”. The four games within, Regime Change Super Soldiers, Man vs Beast (or: This Game Does Not Condone Murder), Manufacturing CNNsent, and High Score, range in both number of participants and style, from one to many players and from tongue-in-cheek satire to direct participation. “You can tell from [O’Connel’s] art that he sees the world and does not blink.” Michael Elliot](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wha4veq65kiow5nueho5rtyb/bafkreifrraamhf6tdi4zsp6ldg5mmm2jjoergabcsewa6nxzp3vtg72afu)

I think the thing I'm learning doing comedy again is that some people think its inherently naughty to laugh at a woman in a wheelchair, even when she's being funny on purpose

I must admit writing a book about a really cool train is not exactly busting autistic stereotypes
You can imagine all the adventures being breathlessly read to you by a woman who won't make eye contact and has no understanding of the volume she's speaking at (for an authentic experience)

A cartoonish background in purples and blues shows a passing galaxy. Header reads 'A Complicated Profession' in a bold, blocky white and purple font. Four staff ID badges, each a different bright colour, with matching lanyards, take up the majority of the frame. The blue shows Kayla's name and headshot, the red shows Chris' name and headshot, the yellow show's Chirag's name and headshot, and the pink shows Chrifu's name and headshot. Lower heading reads 'Launching 11th April, 7pm BST/8pm CEST Twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP

I can't recall much of what we did in this weeks episode of Game Soup cause I was ill at time of record, but I do remember post-record going "Yeah that was a good pretty good one"
There's stuff about non linearity cause I saw Funeral Parade of Roses recently

Bold move to end an email with an "if you have a moment please rate us blahblah" considering the last email I sent ended with me saying "your processes seem deliberately designed to humiliate people simply for seeking access"
You sure you want me to rate you? You sure about that's not why?

The scenario would likely be MASSIVELY improved by a single page with some Storyteller advice and an appendix of what every character knows and what would prompt them to share it
