@V2Blast I have seen that posted in a variety of places ... got a grin out of me.

[grin] It's a lot of fun.

grin Sadly, I've been getting nostalgic for the bad old days of when I'd play a system I'd barely know, like Rolemaster (aka Chartmaster) or Rifts.

[grin] In my game the only visible transit is a caravan, but it's a public transit caravan.

[grin] It's very much fate, in that it's narrative guidance by phrasal character descriptors with a point economy that lets you choose when to succeed.

[grin] I mean, she's a sapient sled dog raised in an underground bunker by a mad Canadian biologist as part of an army of dogs he planned to lead in a takeover of the USA. Socialization is not her strong point.

@order grin

@BardicWizard [grin] I cheat. I have a Discord server for friends with a dedicated BESW-posts-everyone-sees channel where I put anything that seems interesting.

@goodguy5 [grin] It's a board and tokens, so it's mutable! But also in my day job I think a lot about what is "expected" or considered "normal" in certain ways of doing and thinking, and how that's not actually congruous with the normal experiences of the people I live and work with.

@NautArch I feel like it's probably true of most tags. [grin]

@Akixkisu yeah, I can see the grin inducing quality of that phrasing. 😊

[grin] It's obvious nonsense, D&D mechanics have no actual interest in modelling physical reality, but it can be fun nonsense.

@AncientSwordRage [flips through recently acquired rulebooks] The Sun's Ransom and External Containment Bureau don't even have magic items. [grin]

@KorvinStarmast Define "martials". <evil grin>

There's a premise for a couple of one shots that as soon as the players figure out what's going on, I'd expect a big goofy grin on their faces.

This is… not a one time theme. [grin]

[grin] I could've been less generous and mentioned Claire G. Coleman or Lani Wendt Young, both excellent authors who haven't gotten much international (read: American and European) attention yet.

@Adeptus That got a grin out of me

[grin] Presentation gets eyes on your work once, but delivering a reliable and satisfying experience gets people coming back.

random twitter quote that got a grin out of me today: Amber, Queen of Dragons @Farore_RPG Being a Dungeon Master means having a productive 30-minute writing session followed by two months of writer’s block

[grin] I love it as a GM when I can throw some weird problem or situation onto the table and then turn to the players and go "explain that, because I can't."

[grin] 3.0 was the first Photoshop to have layers.

@NautArch 4e did it with skill challenges first! [grin]

@Carcer yeah. grin which would make it a higher level spell.

Just a little. [grin]

[grin] I've already got you in mine.

[grin]

Fairy? Nope, as noted. The owls and bunnies don't do anything for me aesthetically, though the prospect of a bunny rabbit Crown Oath Paladin or Cavalier(Fighter) | Sir Peter Abbot | makes me grin.

[grin]

I have some time to work in a warning/alert to see if they get to "un, wait, is there a dragon down there?" But not be too obvious. They are still sure that there is a cache of magical dwarven weapons down here somewhere. grin Sure, and the dragon is keeping them under it's pile of stuff. 🤣

[grin] Even when everyone at the table knew exactly what I was playing, there was always the counterspell or sliver deck that was going to win right now and people felt like they could deal with me later.

Oh wait; that's probably why the goofy grin; nvm, ignore me

I've got a goofy grin.

[grin] No worries, it's mostly not that bad and I do like a lot of what it's doing.

@Glazius naaah, boycotting air travel for the time being, don't have time to get there by boat. (comic got a grin out of me...)

[grin] I'm fond of characters that can steal abstracts and intangibles.

::grin::

[grin]

Or just never write sequels. [grin]

[grin] Most corsets aren't the "rearrange your internal organs" kind that movies love to use as a symbol of oppressed womanhood, but they're definitely fitted.

@BardicWizard I find that this becomes less of an issue as we get older. [grin]

@BardicWizard Great, now I feel old too. [grin]

@Someone_Evil Hee Hee, that was me seeing it Yet Again in the review queue, and Me Skipping. Hence the grin.

[grin] I joined 8 years ago and it was already two years old and out of beta.

@Ash [grin] Like I said, it's funny and horrific!

@Medix2 grin yeah, good call.

@Rubiksmoose [grin] And this was with dialup Internet!

[grin] I'm one of those people who people say they understand much better after they've met my mother.

[grin] the marvels of free stock photos and mockups.

@MarkWells Grin, I did.
