REVIEW: The Oracle: Monster Generator YouTube video by Dramatic Dragons

Time for another TTRPG product review! This time we're taking a look at the Otacle: Monster Generator by @nordgames.bsky.social!

And that goes to all the celebrities and actors who choose to turn a blind eye to what she says and supports because money is waved in front of their faces. What she says and does cannot be sane-washed, and ignoring it makes them complicit.

As a cis person, I found divesting myself of the Big Bad Witch's work easy. I did years ago when I learned just how vile she was.

I hate how so many people platform her and try to excuse their continued patronage as "It's my childhood-" No. We learn in our childhood how to be good people. Do better

"I don't know why you hate ChatGPT so much"
idk maybe because it stole from me and all my friends, it's terrible for the environment, it's driving up energy prices, it's quantifiably making people worse at using their brains, it's a tool of fascism, and also it doesn't even do what it says it does??

Sadly, having heard their CEO talking about AI in the past, I figured this was due to happen pretty imminently. It is one reason I always hesitated to get Kingdom Come 2.

Hope that employee finds a good position with a company that actually values them soon!

Sat down to work on my script to review The Oracle: Monster Generator by @nordgames.bsky.social, and Mipha wanted to take a peek as well.

I think it is kitty-approved!

TTRPG Story #5: My First PC Death! YouTube video by Dramatic Dragons

Gamemasters, this is the kind of story we all have one of. How did your first PC death go?

Yes! There should be a history applied to claims against your account! I would love that too!

I hate YouTube's dispute procedure. It is abused waaaay too often, and the false claimants never get stopped.

There should be more accountability. Like if you raise a claim without proof and it gets disputed, then you refuse to dispute the claim, you lose the ability to make a claim for 30 days.

So after a month of not sharing, I think it is time to introduce the latest member of the family!

This is Mipha, a new beautiful kitty who loves to play and be loved! She is a bit of a nervous cat, but she has come a long ways in the month she has been with us!

My Books! These are all TTRPG books that I have written for!

TTRPG Product Reviews - YouTube A compilation of TTRPG product reviews!

I doubt that I am big enough to warrant attention yet, but I do monthly in-depth reviews of TTRPG materials on YouTube (with an emphasis on 3rd party supplements/tools).

Here's a link to what I've done recently: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Mushrooms are dehydrating, homemade turkey andouille sausage is out of the pressure cooker, hybrid Italian-sourdoigh bread is in the bread maker, sweet potatoes are blanched and freezing, rice is cooking in the instant pot with the sausage juices, and mini-pizza dough is par-baking

I am tired now

Anyways, new campaign starts either this or next Friday! Time to see if they have what it takes to create and manage a kingdom in Kingmaker!

One of the hardest things I find as a GM is being patient while waiting for players to send me backstory information that I can weave into campaigns.

Like, I know *I* have a ton of time to think on it, but why don't they have the time while they are juggling jobs and kids and life and....

Sometimes GMs try to help their players.... and their innate suspicions turn that aid into hindrances.

And this is a tale devoted to just that situation!

You can do what I do and run on "youthful energy"... except I ran out of that a several years ago, and there is no way to get it back or topnot off.

But congrats on the 243 day milestone!

No, that's fair. I probably expressed that surprise too fast. I'm usually one of the last to hear about things, so I think I forgot that this post had been at the top of my feed.

Do you know what empathy is good for?

It's working out how other people feel and how they're likely to act.

Kind of important in certain situations eh?

TTRPG SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT:
CW: CSA materials
I've just heard from a trusted source (with evidence linked below)
that @ colbosch. bsky. social was arrested in June last year for possession of CSAM.
Sharing this info so that others can look into it for themselves and keep themselves safe.

That's horrific. Thanks for letting us know!

Shocking how many of the people I follow are following him... 😬

The fact that another regime change war has started is telling.

That there is no approval from Congress is telling.

That there is no timetable or goal is telling.

That no one has spoke out about 150+ children in a school being "collateral damage" is telling.

This war must be stopped. NOW.

I'm here for it all!

Great insights in this article - and some realizations about charm person and disguise self I had not n considered before!

Good thing my players don't keep up on my Bluesky posts.....
