I am talking about Musks Electric Cars, Solar Panels for Houses planned, the Hyper Loop, Space-Flight, Mars-Base stuff . . Am i missing something? O.o If anything, Musk looks to me like somebody who is preparing for/trying to lessen the impact of no more fossil fuels and global warming apocalypse? ...

But the fomori who are created by actual fucking conversion therapy centers, called Normalites, made from people who sought out an actual gay cure? That's super problematic to me, to the extent that I just mentally excise the whole gay (now transgender in the W20 books) cure part, and in so far as ...

Today was a press conference with Umarov (Chechen minister) and Studio101 (Russian games publisher and developer and localizers of V20). It was magical. Umarov has declared white wolf nazis engaging in the genocide of the Chechen people and blamed games like v5 for suicide bombers. He was initially ...

Chechnya is considering suing Paradox Interactive for libel. Tomorrow there'll be a press conference with the Chechen Minister of Truth and three guys from Studio101 - Russian distributors of V20. Because V5 has no official distribution in Russia. I think V5 might be the first ttrpg to cause an inte...

Paradox thought they were buying themselves a option on role playing games by being able to revive a dominant franchise. Not at all. White Wolf was acquired under Fredrik Wester, a Paradox CEO who stepped down in February. White Wolf was his baby and he, and his close friend Martin Erricson aka Whi...

It's probably worth looking at the IRL 'wizards' as well. Ordo Templi Orientis has about 2k people worldwide . The population of each individual city O.T.O. is present in is far too small to support internal politics beyond anime club level, but O.T.O. as a whole is big enough to have spats over cul...

Lying and conniving. At a base 10 you can generally lie about having taken an extra helping at dinner or convince peasants you weren’t spying on them. At a base 13 you are a fairly practiced liar and can lie about most anything without too much of a tell. At a base 16 you can conceal your tells ver...

Double lol wut. Khelgar has way more in common with Amiri than with Harrim. Harrim... I have no fucking clue how you connected him , a nihilist struggling with cultural isolation and alcoholism, to a brash thrill-seeker that wants to become a monk purely because he thinks they're all about punching...

And... CRPG characters being remembered only for their stats? You're on your own on that. CRPGs are generally piss-easy, to the point where most of them can be beaten solo even if not designed for it. Their stats aren't important at all. I mean, just look at this: Jaheira was only memorable because...

This is so insanely off base that I have to wonder if we played the same game. Valerie? Oh no, my beauty means I have to hate people because they don't know no means no, oh wait, now I have a scar, everything's fine now. Oh wait, divine retribution, whoops. Valerie got forced into being a paladin of...

And when you find out the when, you have to wonder about the where . . Most of europe seems to be moving to the right as well, with germany smack dab in the center of it all, trying to not do that . . but elections here seem to indicate germany also sliding further right . .

YHaving now satisfactorily* established that we could add a paragraph to explain how shoehorning in True Faith isn't automatically cultural appropriation depending on how you do it, you then still haven't answered why we should want to include it at all. What does it add to vampire stories if you c...

fueled by the belief of the Person performing them. I think this is where people lose you. This is all very Mage the Ascension/Unknown Armies style postmodernism. Actual Christians and Shintoists will of course tell you that belief has nothing to do with anything - Christian ancestor spirits object...
