Okay suckers -- you've taken yer best shot!

Now it's MY turn!

Yeah, triceratops would not put up with any of our shit.

When my grandfather was in his last days, I brought him some maple ice cream. He was confused wasn't sure when or where he was. Kept asking for more bites of ice cream though. Why not?

What did Hans think about this guy?

Are we talking yearning, "yearning", or *yearning*?

No, that's not possible. Chess is the more complicated game. I have the advantage.

If I leave my king on the back row you can't get him. I'll pick away at your interchangeable army with my irreplaceable individuals....

Well, I tied you I guess. At the game I challenged you to. That's like a win.

You have a king now? And he moves *more* than the other pieces can? That doesn't make any sense. Kings are supposed to- you know what? Never mind. I've got him. So I win. Idiot.

You have anothet king? You can *make more kings*? What the fuck is happening here?

Am I... am I losing?

Okay, you got a few of my pawns. Doesn't matter. I have rooks and bishops and... huh. One of my bishops can't actually interact with your pieces. That's... huh.

Whatever. Once I get your king in... which one is your king?

You don't have one? You dont have one *yet*? The fuck?

I'm playing chess and you're playing checkers.

You've got your stupid little discs while I've got an array of specialized warriors. You don't stand a fucking chance.

Look, my pawns are already shredding your front ranks of... wait, jumping? Your guys can jump? They can jump *multiple times*?

This game has been burning a hole in my shelf since I got it. Can't wait to get it to the table.

What makes that expression dumb is that chess and checkers are broadly similar games. Chess is arguably more complex but you could set up both games on the same board and play against each other and it would kind of work with no guarantee that chess would win.

(I might argue the 3D thing though)

That's something then!

TFW you hear about a game that sounds interesting, go to find more about it and realize you already own it (twice!) from a bundle sale.

Cool! But too bad it wasn't one of the lost books instead

Was originally thinking playing cards for accessibility but tarot gives more options. But good point about dice. Especially since most systems don't actually require players to each have their own set, and yet we all have several...

Been waiting for this to drop. The old game was a foundational document for me, even though I never actually got to play it.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Okay, #ttrpg where each player needs their own tarot deck. Barrier or draw?

Farseer: You know, human eyes only have rods and cones.

Ranger: Wait, they don't have spheres or tetrahedrons? How do they see color?

Farseer: They can only see like 7.

Ranger: Which 7? Bleen? Yellom? Plyrple? Double orange?

Farseer: Nah, just like red and shit.

Ranger: Basic ass species...

Every year, I reread the LotR trilogy. This last year's reread amped me up and I started keying Middle-earth 12 miles at a time

Concurrently, without meaning to, I wrote a game to run the hexcrawl

Here's what I think is fun about it🧵

I really like the idea of Xenos using color schemes that might seem "off" to humans. Different species, different color culture, different ocular nerves. To Eldar eyes, pink armor might symbolize power and aggression or grace and precision or might be factory default.

Look, if you're not going to eat that cinnamon bun, can I have it?

"Move on back" always makes me uncomfortable. Is this a segregation era bus?

Like discovering how out of shape you are by randomly starting a bar fight and getting your ass beat.

It also occurs to me that if you're talking to an empath, communication through music is probably actually clearer than words.

Children exposed to this much chill in one place are at high risk of growing up to totally rad from contact cool.

A chain bayonet at the end of a small artillery piece may be the most 40k thing ever.

Person C: See, this is why the discourse on this platform is so uncivil. In this thread I will...

If you joined the Navy, you could be opening a space capsule and high-fiving astronauts or you could be starving off the Iranian coast. Truly our armed forces contain multitudes.

Hard to choose. Maybe when Christ says "Don't fuck with the Jesus?"

That or the Oath of Feanor.
