@Delafina777 Their discourse is still not listening to those women. Timnit Gebru et al. talk about active harms currently done by AI, algorithmic bias and the like. All the dudes talk about potential bad things in the future--extinction risk, etc.--ignoring the present problems.

@itsginnydi Also the basic version of Stars without Number is free on DrivethruRPG, and Mothership has a free SRD, so it's low cost to give them a try.

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@itsginnydi If you want basic: Stars without Number. Dead simple, has fun psychic powers, but OSR-inspired so very deadly without some careful Gming. Ran a 2 yr campaign.

For horror: Mothership. Fantastic stress rules, amazingly evocative adventures, great 3rd party ecosystem. Ran 2 months.

@quiddie How am I just now learning about the monthly pin series!?! I missed the "toxic masculinity is dead!" one! 😭😭😭

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@StrahdVonZ Mothership TTRPG uses building Stress, which can induce Panic, with various effects, which I quite like. You can get the Players Survival Guide free on DriveThruRPG.

@GabeJamesGames Anyone who's been to or lived in Europe, probably, yeah. USA, less so.

@mattcolville if I remember some of the things you've said about what you liked about it, many are already built in to google Drive. For example, if you search in the top bar, it searches across all your Docs, Sheets, etc., without any need to manually index anything

@mattcolville On their small boat in the middle of a flooded landscape as a drowned witch tries to get close enough to drink their blood and take control of them. She already has control of several PCs and NPCs, in various states of being tied up in the boat. She also wants an ancient key...

@theblerdgurl I'm sad there's not a "heard of it, never read any" option

@Superdillin aww man I miss Changeling

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@GabeJamesGames I object, sir: your selfies are immaculate, and not to be derided as nonsense.

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@GabeJamesGames I've got both (essentially 2 different "common"s on 2 different continents), and so far so good!

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@victhhe sure. Even using Nazis as a model for a fantasy fascist regime, you could just remove the antisemitism and anti-Roma hate and focus more on the anti-LGBTQ, anti-disability, and clamping down on political enemies (like communists). Esp. political rivals, ex. neighboring kingdoms..

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@matthewmercer I love seeing you being super into the crafting side, too. It's part of what made me want to DM in the first place, seeing my friend and DM Ian's awesome crafting stuff and starting to help him paint terrain.

[Christian Straubhaar-Jones @straubjones]

@FreyjaErlings Big mood.
