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.

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.

Started BJJ. I don't expect to ever have an use for most of the ground moves on the street...but it's as much fun as I remember it to be, the trainer and the group are nice, and I'm getting in shape.
By which I mean "lost about 2,6 kgs in three practice sessions". I kid you not.

I have a new "favourite product" now:

*drumroll*
"A facemask...with a p*ssy on the inside", to quote the description!

And since that's me, I'm now wondering how to use something similar as a detail for a NPC!

I just managed to retell Heinlein's Time Enough for Love in less then a page. The amazing thing is how useful the word "fuck" was in that exercise!
Also, when it comes to survival, Lazarus is like many of my PCs. When it comes to family, not quite.

It's amazing to watch the reaction to the nuT$R expressing some opinions held by the majority of people in my country.
But this ain't about the opinions themselves, thanks to Rule 0. I'm just wandering what a native Tekumelian would feel like listening to the talk in a pub in Golarion or the Forgotten Realms!
That might be a campaign idea, or at least an idea for a Traveller PC!
Some worlds in the 3I are different.

And COVID-19 took away my mom. Who didn't vaccinate because vaccines are dangerous for people her age, or someone had told her so...
Don't do like her!

Exalted using 2d6:
-Choose Caste. This should give you the equivalent of 2 skills (skills shall be more broadly defined than Exalted proper).
-Choose Hobby (more narrowly applicable)
-Choose Talents.
-Choose 1-3 Traits. Yes, the number is rolled.
Resolution: roll 2d6. For every single of the above that applies, add +3 if you're Celestial, +2 for Terrestrial/God-blooded? and +1 for Heroic Mortals.
The GM roll opposed.

"Part of assuming everyone is an adult is assuming you can handle people having different tastes than you, disliking games and mechanics that you like, and in general expressing statements you disagree with. It shouldn't matter to you this much."
Wait, TristramEvans do you mean I shouldn't care some people might actually like D&D? But they're obviously WRONG!

The last couple of days were good ones. My daughter expressed interest in "making up her own world and running a game", and I finally managed to get to the MA shop and ordered a mat to specifications, which is now being hand-crafted.

Today my daughter gave me a die for the first time (a d6 she had received as part of a pinata on a birthday party)! "I need it", in her opinion.

Can't say I need it so much, but I am going to treasure it!

And now the party in my wuxia game are in the Tekumel's "planetary metro". Left behind by the ancients, which have - obviously - created that planet as well.
They've got plans how to use it.
What can go wrong? Shemek hiTankolel any ideas?

I was going to start a thread about a campaign idea, and then I realized that I've already got the best system for it: Mythras!

What campaign idea, you're asking? Does it matter?

OK, now I have a problem. Does anyone know of a martial arts/wuxia game published in the last decade and inspired by Legends of the Wulin?
I have bought it, but I can't remember the name, and thus can't re-read it!

The game in question is Dragon Pool. I opened my external memories, literally, and found it on one of them!
Now I'm off to re-read it.

I just ordered a print copy of Fight! 2nd Edition!
Turns out it was part of my KS pledge...

And I'd received the pledge code (printed by Drivethru) in May. I just never noticed it, until I got to cleaning up my e-mail (a Deed worthy of Herakles)!

I'm just glad the code wasn't set to expire. That's all I'm saying.

I'm starting to like Roman-era games more and more. Should I make this my next Refereeing Trademark? The current ones are Wuxia/Kung-fu/Martial Arts, Swashbuckling, S&S, Cyberpunk and Mysteries. And I'm trying to add SF as well, but I need more work.

As a bonus, there's some great d100-based Roman games: Mythras Rome and Maelstrom Rome!

I persuaded our GM to run another CoC adventure for me. It turned out to be a tournament module! Huh, didn't know there were CoC tournament modules.
Name was something like "something weird in LA".

I lost all of 3 SAN and no HP soloing it. Yeah, everybody dies in CoC, sure!
My PC, however, ended up in good health, and exactly 400 times as rich as when he started.
How would I have rated?

Discovered recently: I can actually do the "pistol squat" on one of my legs (but I need something to support me on one side). The other leg needs to build just a bit more strength before that (and obviously I need more balance on both, because I need the side support to avoid toppling).
Life with kids teaches you a lot.
