That was a Nietzsche quote. Alas, I can't save the picture, so you get a pointless status instead

Post-apocalyptic scenario seed in this post:
The Martial Arts Thread
I'm just posting two playlists before I leave for training:smile:. After returning: I had kick-boxing and BJJ again. Forgot my teeth guard, so had to skip the KB sparring, but overall, I'm feeling quite well:wink:. The KB trainer (who also trains BJJ) is nice and agreed to discuss my...

That's it, I've decided on where my next campaign is going to be set: A garden surrounded by a jungle.
I'm not going to tell you why because it might be kinda political. Suffice it to say, I just liked the imagery!
Now if I only knew when I'm going to run anything, too!
I've been thinking about the isekai genre lately. What does it tell us that a) it's getting more popular lately and b) every time I hear about it, it almost invariably mentions the protagonist going after sexy alien chicks
?
"Canada's D&D cuts buyout offer for Australia's Link under regulator probe". A misleading title if you're an RPG player!
My list of "games I should get in print" becomes longer and longer. At the same time, my list of "new games I should get" is virtually nil.
I'm becoming a grognard

"That's Dad when he's happy!" - First Daughter.
...do I really look like that?
I've been thinking about gamebooks (the Fighting Fantasy/Bloodsword/Way of the Tiger kind), lately. And about superheroes. Now what can I do if I combine both? Hmm...

I just found that a new DCC corebook is $25, and Noble Knight are selling a Near-Mint book for $28. Is something wrong there or what
?
I tried as a joke to make a system for playing in the setting of a Bulgarian urban fantasy series. About 15 minutes after putting pen to paper, I realized I'm writing a modern, heavier version of Sorcerers of Ur-Turuk/Ars Magica, except I'm using 2d6.
Now I'm wondering whether the author has played SoUT or AM. Or maybe Talislanta 4? He's in the right demographic.
I always find it funny when a self-avowed satanist is talking about the "moral and spiritual corruption of society". Can I find a high priest of Slaanesh speaking about this in any adventure?
Gaming youtuber Seth Skarkowsky makes a list of videos with 33 "gamemastering mistakes".
Me: "I get well over a 20 on this!"
Also me: "But then he recommends fudging rolls. I doubt his opinions are really relevant to my games".
Who here is from the Philippines? Or elsewhere in Southeast Asia? I want recommendations of authentic music!
To clarify with an example, it's way too easy to find "folk" music that carries the country's name, but the natives immediately recognize as not authentic. (I found some such examples of Bulgarian music recently).
Dammit Viktor
Voros ?
Pushed rolls in CoC7e, example.Me: "I play the piano to impress the ladies at the gathering".
Dice: "You fail, sucker!"
Me: "I see I'm failing, and I try to improvise something to cover it up". (Fully possible according to my piano experience).
GM: "It's a pushed roll - if you fail, you're going to have to suffer some negative social consequences".
Me: "Pass me those dice".
"Have you ever been in shape?" - rando elder woman visiting the same fitness as me. She has no issues with the stretching parts, herself, for which I kinda envy her...but not for running out of gas on the strength parts of the workout.
"Yes, I have been - earlier. Besides I'm in an ideal shape now as well: a round one, an ideal form in geometry" - me, not paying much attention (other than being surprised).
"Because we are experiencing an accumulation of at least four crises..."- Sharan Burrow, General Secretary of the ITUC.
Me: "Exalted, anyone?"
Today (technically yesterday) was Saint George's Day here, a national holiday...and personally for me, one of the greatest days I've had
. Especially lately.
I needed that!
From Westlands: "Equipment
This chapter describes common tools, weapons, and other items used by adventurers, sorcerers, barbarians, and plucky Earthlings trapped underneath alien skies".
Best chapter description ever!
I just had to edit out the name of a French official. Why? Well, because part of it is the same as a word that means "cock"...and not as a birdie.
Now I'm wondering what my name means in Swahili, Japanese and a few other languages
.
I think me,
CRKrueger and
Raleel should make an official welcoming ceremony for N Necrozius for his joining of the Cult of Mythras.
Loz could give us some suggestions, maybe.
Preferably stuff that doesn't involve killing bulls. It's hard to arrange over Internet.

You're one of my favorite posters here at the Pub.
As of today, me and all the kids* in the family are training BJJ together!
*The ones below 18, at least!
Today was a great day. First Son went to BJJ and liked it! He even behaved well.
Second Son declared he wants to go where Big Brother and Big Sister are going.
Then we had grappling night before going to sleep.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Also, you know it's about to be a weird year where you spend a lot of time on the Pub, when you dream of your own SF setting and add two Pub regulars in the dream...as key NPCs (notifyingrobertsconley and
Ravenswing here)!

My wife is obviously a purer Bulgarian than me. She spends most time in overdrive, trying to resolve problems...
Often, problems she has created herself by insisting on a particular way of doing stuff.
Pure-blooded Bulgarian, I'm telling ya!
I felt weird today.
I saw a group of obvious schoolchildren (definitely below 14 yo). They were trying to be offensive to each other... using the so-called "N-word"...
I mean, WTF? None of them was black. Odds are they've never seen anyone black IRL (it's Bulgaria here).
I expect Odysee to have a bigger following in Bulgaria, and possibly in Serbia and North Macedonia...
Why? Because in Bulglish, Serblish and Northmacedonglish, "Ody See" clearly means "Go See". If local internet users don't find that hilarious...well, then I know neither my compatriotes, nor our neighbours!
Which might well be the case, as COVID proved.
Interesting note: the BJJ butterfly guard is present in some silat and capoeira applications. What if one starts switching from one to the other?
Tonight, I have work to do for my job. So of course, I just have to start by testing my lifepath chargen for Fight!: the Fighting Game RPG 2e!
I'm just sooo tired of scandals with the family!
How tired? Well, tired enough that I'm at the point where I have been considering dropping RPGs altogether. I mean, we tend to play together, adults in the family are part of my group, but lately this just leads to more screaming and nagging.
And I really can use a break from that!
But honestly, if the scandals continue, one of us would have to go. Regardless of RPGs.
Running: Good Fences Make Good Neighbours for Chill 3e.
The new edition of 2300 AD (by Mongoose) is out...and it's now on 6th place on Drivethru!
Got the Delta Green bundles. Now the question is about the KS...
"Women have been known to change their minds, you know?" - The Swordsman of Mars, Otis Adelbert Kline (1929).
I just read the description of the "Queen of Martian Catacombs" and the changes made to the original story to turn it into "The Secret of Sinharat". Still torn which one I like better...but they also show well the two different approaches to RPG Refereeing. -
