It's a crying shame that more RPGs don't get the attention they deserve, but it might speak to how terminally online I am that I'm even aware of any of them. You're not seeing Lancer or Yazeba's B&B on the shelf at Target, the difference in reach is oceanic.

Currently working my way through the Treks (I'm a late convert), but I loved the Stargate movie! The series is on the list.

You Will Die In This Place by Liz A nihilistic dungeon crawler about death, art and identity.

For Trans Day of Visibility you are all required to go check out You Will Die In This Place (liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/you-will-die...). A powerful ttrpg/art piece that is about so many things I (a straight, cis-man) am unqualified to talk about, but it makes me want to learn.

Yeah they sound fairly scary

(Having not seen SG1) I'm a big fan of the Cylons, but I guess they aren't "scary." The first episode of TNG with the Borg was genuinely frightening! Loved it so much. Then there was the Lore-Borg episode 🫪

Ars Technica: What is it about these futuristic narratives that is so seductive?

Adam Becker: I think part of it is that it lines up with ideas about the future that have been sold to us for many, many years by, among other things, science fiction. I say this as an ardent science fiction fan. I am not saying that science fiction is the problem. I’m saying that taking science fiction seriously as a vision of the future is the problem.

I love Star Trek. I don’t believe that we can build warp drive just because I like Star Trek. I also think that Star Trek isn’t really about warp drive. It’s about people and how we relate to each other in the same way that all great art is. It’s about being here now in the world and what it means to be a person. Yet someone like Peter Thiel looks at Dune and says that the message of Dune is “develop the deserts,” which is not even close to what Frank Herbert had in mind or what any reading of the text could support.

These ideas resonate because there’s this idea that the future inevitably lies in space, that the future inevitably involves super-intelligent machines. There is nothing inevitable about those visions and a great deal of reason to doubt them. I also think that in a time of great turmoil, the idea of a guaranteed utopia coming from these movers and shakers in the world, these very powerful, wealthy billionaires—it sounds hopeful until you scratch at it a little bit and realize that there’s nothing there.
