I'm sorry did I miss something, have joyless puritans moved the convo so much that noncon and dubcon are NO longer considered vanilla fetishes?

they gave him the gift of seeing in two different timezones

scummy yuri 👀 recs?

picture perfect outcome honestly xD

Social Media is not a diary, it is FORUM and sometimes there are PUBLIC EXECUTIONS

crazy how a shitty day can be salvaged by making a good ol' subwich at home

since realis fans on bsky don't know, if you block someone while replying to them the reply doesn't go through, regardless, I'm not paying 15$ for the privilege of a demo/older version of the game and I *PERSONALLY* think it's poor form/practice to do a KS with no free demo

last mess of a thread posted at the encouragement of my brother who is sometimes audience to my [niche topic/hobby] rantings

[AS ASIDE] "but Realis character classes are BROAD ARCHETYPES" I mean so is an evil character with a secret/developing heart, my table doesn't need a game system that welds CHARACTER to PROFESSION for them. (this is what I mean by RP 101.) [11/11]

but as said at the start, Realis just isn't a system for me. I prefer TTRPGs with some abstractions to create mechanical puzzles with consequences so that the RP has some weight and chaos outside of it.

TL;DR: "Diceless" dragon fights don't hit the same maaaan. [10/?]

no mechanics were required for this. this kind of thing ISN'T on his character sheet and has NOTHING to do with him being an Enchantment Wizard- and he will have a healthier longevity than a handful of sentences that are both the PREMISE and the lifebar of that PC [9/?]

meanwhile in AlwaysBad TTRPG DnD one of my players who insists he is playing an Evil Vizier has the highest NPC adoption rate of a talking horse, an abandoned gargoyle familiar, and is currently putting two elf children through college [8/?]

however the loudest dissonance is that it's a "collaborative story telling game" but "There's no explicit way to help or aid in this game. There are bonds, but no one's spending their token to give you a +1 on the Sentence you use."(quote from that rascal interview) [7/?]

for a writer with a writing background, the idea of show-don't-tell or that the journey's value over the destination seems to be absent in what few mechanics Realis has, is staggering. that your character will only gain specificity, not nuance is in service to -what- precisely? [6/?]

and once you make your own character, you will quickly rush past "4 core sentences"- I know it's "more" in totality in play- but there are (SIGH) DnD characters with more meat to them. [5/?]

the creator talks passionately about how this makes realis special when this would (IMO) be better served as an RP primer or even setting guide. the +0~3 by "adding specificity" to a sentence only sounds novel if you have NEVER penned a character before [4/?]

but in a rascal interview linked in its own KS ("Realis ditches traditional character sheets for prose poetry"), you can perhaps see why the "character class" has no sample on the KS, it's fairly barren [3/?]

It's very telling to me that the KS does not feature a single book page that hints at the mechanics/rulings or what the "classes" look like. I cynically wonder if the reason why there is no free playable demo is because it's afraid to confirm it's a game. [2/?]

the Realis TTRPG is def not for me and I wonder (with neutrality) if it would have been better served as a fancy artbook with vignettes/drabbles and an open invitation to RP rather than bothering with slapping on Apocalypse Style RP 101 "mechanics" [1/?]

the fact that hufflepuff merch still moves/moved at all should be the clue that there has to be a change in normie tactics

tumblr trying to kill itself again 🙄

spot cleaning as needed since it's fairly sunny/clear weather

very nice! (also not to overreach, but just in case-) you may want to check if it's more beneficial to be a sole proprietor, the benefits between it vs LLC depends on state which increases the research workload unfortunately 😓

(won't repeat the stuff I saw at a glance about OCD) I cannot recommend reusable paper towels enough, ever since getting them it's cut down significantly on regular paper towel use

*I prefer them to washcloths or car towels b/c they are thin enough to dry out w/o smelling & have a better texture

the anvil factory cannot keep up with this kind of writing

I was going to say "maybe they want RPs" but then remembered that RPs require a baseline of creativity that a too-large majority do not want to engage with :/

I forgot it even existed until being reminded

what a lovely collection and good job on the shelves!
