Then when you do learn to speak it you find that goblins have recorded themselves shouting obscenities into loudspeakers playing on repeat

Kind of nuts that over 200 people have joined the #FakeTTRPGJam with still nearly a week left before it officially starts. Come on through if you wanna get esoteric with it itch.io/jam/you-cann...
“That would be sick actually; either you’re holding it until the actual late game, or you’re making it so every game is rad”.
This is on the evil overlord list and it’s in discworld: when you depose someone, you never ever throw them in the deepest darkest dungeon if they’re the ones who designed the dungeon.
Is a floating head reading out funny tweets on Facebook reels genAI?

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.
so this is part of why i'm doomerish about video games as a viable broadly mainstream industry: the console space is becoming a luxury pastime, which also means the barrier for new entrants becomes almost impassable - what person who isn't confident they'll play games will buy this to try one out?
Totally agree with this! Short game experiments are so important, but I *also* love long-stewing game projects.
Slice & Dice is such a good example of this. You don't get the rich emergent strategy of v3.0 without ~7 years of gradual iterative development.

Loot cards Pride of the dwarves has the text: “reaction: you take half damage from an attack. You can use this to redirect damage. 1 use only. If someone insults you, you can react badly to recharge this.”
I made some loot cards for a D&D night! I’m fairly proud of the dwarven pride item. The mechanic reads well but I keep adding these to one shots instead of a campaign where they would have time to breathe. For this to work it needs a game loop where you spend long rests teeing up RP with your party

The meta game aspect of having multiple groups going through the same persistent megadungeon is unexpectedly awesome. The *anxiety* caused in all new players when they realise that an unknown number of strangers (and ""friends"") are gunning for the same prize as them? Magical. There's your RP!
We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events
Upshot: verify before amplifying
Why should this matter? If you have a prompt starting with “Hey I’m a decision maker and I need a list of viable military and non-military…” in your chat history then all the laws of god and man are forever closed to you and you no longer walk in the light among us, no shade shall comfort you again

I would make and release a megadungeon in neverwinter nights and host it for you and your buddies to knock down. And for $60k I’d do two so you can pick your flavour every session.
