Check out the podcast Star wars: redemption, followed by smugglers blues. It's an entertaining play of ffg's Star wars. (I'm pretty sure they have a discord and have done some question answering over the Web.)
Very true, these guys feel like they tend not to skip rules though. I will note that I don't know the rules as written, so they might be skipping major parts and I wouldn't know it.
I am a bit old, and never got why so many people watch "actual play". I've done it once or twice to get the mechanic of a game, but found the experience more technical/boring than fun....
I'm not sure I would believe it, on the news articles alone. "Trump incinerated by Biden on capital steps" or " McDonald's smashes trump's throat" are titles I would expect on any old Tuesday
I noticed increased frequency of posts in places like r/rpghorrorstories, that describe a situation where the player brings a tiny veiled or just a shameless copy of a popular fictional character - Sokka, Scanlan, John Snow, Walter White - except "more based" or "less of a cuck". What follows is a story of the player doing some...
How hard is it to add new systems? I'm intrigued at how the campaign organization looks like, but currently playing beamsaber, a forged in the dark game.
I don't need 30 minutes, I use two Trello boards, one for me, one shared with players, the player one is factions and important names, the gm one is hooks (planned or spoken out loud)->session ideas->session notes, and a catch-all that is a list of names when I need one.
And I occasionally feed all that into chatgpt to generate me some dialog better than I can manage. "Generate me a mission briefing for a mission where the squad needs to...". (I don't speak military well)
For a forged in the dark game, I'd love to see easy to use character and/or mission specific devil's bargain generators, and a way to store what I have, possibly in a better format.
Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be....
Full score or just the start? I'm running beamsaber right now, and I feel like I'm building the plane as we are flying, it's a bit harrowing. I don't yet feel like I'm quick enough on my feet to work out everything as we go, and I'm not sure I'm supposed to, really.

I've got a Bluetooth toothbrush, and it's sensor set lets me know if I'm brushing too hard or moving the brush too much ( it knows optimal pressure and movement). If I'm not walking around, it'll also show me a mouth map of my brushing, potentially suggesting missed spots.
In no way does it need the Internet though, that's dumb. I've not used the Bluetooth since the first week, but the pressure feedback is great, and has gotten me to brush better, so that's a win. If it'll start telling me the ph balance of my mouth? I'm sure that could be useful to track (I think you can get that electronically without much effort, other sensor types might be harder)

I seem to only be able to do voices for written text. While GM-ing I have ideas, but finding words takes all the brain power I have and everyone sounds like me. Reading a book to my kid? everyone has a voice, even the one off kid that has a silly voice (and likely stays around so I have to keep doing the voice)
The question to ask there is "what's your approach?" The dice will smooth out wrinkles, but I need to know how to narrate the success or fail, otherwise, any persuasion will be you saying "aw, c'mon!" And that gets a bit boring, unless you're on a hot streak and everyone crumples to your plea
Hey everyone! Let's try to get some more activity in here. I was wondering what kind of rulers you have all created. I realize most medieval settings will probably have a monarch rule the lands, but this does not have to be the case. So, what kind of governing systems have you created in your worlds?...
I wouldn't say creative, but a soulless corporatocracy is our current ruling group. On an interstellar scale, it's all about minerals and stealing knowledge from others.
