"The Omega Man" by Iron Savior. Lyrics adapted for the sake of the character limit (also I can't make out some of the lyrics anyway).

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

The days pass by in dullness and pain.
He's the last man alive; sentenced to survive.
He's seen armageddon destroy your every evil

A new breed of insanity is lurking in the shadow
They are the rulers of the dark
All drugged into something else, not human anymore.

-- Iron Savior

My Gmail ([email protected]) & YouTube channel (https://t.co/IT37UdLQb4) were phished/hacked from Istanbul, Turkey, passwords changed, parental controls set to unknown Turkish email. Google closed case despite US-only activity & evidence.

I followed up via email to [email protected] with new details from my State Police & FBI reports (plus details about other victims affected). Please escalate for re-evaluation. The hacker/phisher still in control risks more attacks.

So... you can save drafts of posts on twitter, but you can't save drafts of threads?

???

That's like the complete inversion of common sense.

"Oh you're writing a complex post? Well, no editing allowed there, chum!"

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

This is just one example, you could fill a whole bookcase with good RPG books, and I constantly meet game design people who've never heard of them.

A lot of "video game design" people don't even study D&D, let alone Blades in the Dark.

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

Reading rulebooks for tabletop RPGs is a great way to learn about game design (think like D&D).

This is from Blades in the Dark by John Harper.

"A conversation punctuated by dice rolls" -- this phrase caught in my mind, and I've never forgotten it since first reading the book.

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

Do players truly care about these situations they're moving through, or is it just "same old, same old." Another room in the dungeon.

Do they remember the situations?

Do they come out with stories to tell?

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

@TylerGlaiel Hey at least we upvoted him & allowed the discussion. /r/gaming just downvoted & ignored his crosspost.

But yeah he got more upvotes then me so I agree it's a terrible subreddit. 👎

I do wish we could elevate the level of conversation a little. Dunno what would help though

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

Really sucks that @CarlMaxwell is an inactive bot and @Carl_Maxwell is suspended. Both really dumb reasons to force me to add some weird disambiguation onto my username.

Should just let me challenge them to a duel to reclaim my rightful name.

[Carl Maxwell @CarlMaxwellLore]

Alright well I changed my twitter username to @CarlMaxwellLore from @Modred11. Seems like a better choice (since it matches my name on reddit/youtube/etc), but now I have 3 Ls in a row, so that's awkward.

One of the best movie scenes of all time. If your #castlesandcrusades game has political intrigue watch this version of A Lion in Winter and Becket for some good inspiration. @trolllordgames @ElfLairJasonTLG
