The brown die is for POC, and I believe the pink die is supposed to stand for feminism. Couldn’t say what the purple one is for.

I was a little skeptical at first, but “Anxious Fry” does kinda sound like a horse 🤔

Not for lack of trying. Other presidents have absolutely defied Congress or the Supreme Court, filled the government with cronies, or otherwise completely abandoned common decency and the rule of law. If Trump is more destructive than any president before him, it will be because technology put more advanced tools of destruction at his disposal, not because he is somehow more evil or power hungry than anyone before him.

Yeah… and I don’t even think he’s our worst-ever President! It’s quite the shitshow, really.

Even if we allow for the concept that most presidents will inevitably commit some evils, and therefore do not simply label them all devils, we would still (at a pretty generous minimum) have to label around 1/3 of them as devils. Obviously Trump is bad and should be vigorously resisted, but it is not as though this country has never had leaders this reckless, this callous to human suffering, or this bigoted before. Future generations will find Trump noteworthy to be sure, but probably not singularly so.

If you find that TTRPG, please send me a link. Otherwise, well, it wouldn’t seem too hard to homebrew something really quick if you aren’t picky about systems

Yeah, I don’t know how to make those so I just accept the alternate reality you are proposing despite knowing it’s fictitious :/

Everything bagel? $5

Fucking over one of the worst villains of NYC history? Priceless

Sounds like you need to develop your imagination more

Oof. That’s definitely not how it should go.

But GMing isn’t something the rulebook is all that good at teaching people how to do, so stuff like this is quite common :(

I dislike FATE for exactly this reason - it breaks my immersion too much

Within the same campaign? Yes, I expect the statblock to be (reasonably) fixed.

But from one campaign to the next? Not necessarily, unless they’re explicitly set in the same setting.

I prefer the BLeeM method: try to kill them and then be amazed at how they, like cockroaches, survive anyways

What the player says determines what the character says - but the dice determine how they say it.

It’s just like everything else, the player chooses what to attack, but the dice say how it goes.

Naturally, the player’s choice of words could give them a boost or hinder them. Also, I wouldn’t let the player just “roll to seduce.” You gotta rp a little if you want a rp reward.

Mostly pictures of shelves

According to the article, yes. Part of the game includes setting the policies for the area of Mars you control and how those policies affect morale.

We practice Kitchen Table Balatro in this house. We all play Balatro together, every night.

Because we’re sharers

“their sins will always find them out”

If only that were true.

No gods will save us. The only justice in this world is that which we can enact with our own hands.

Honestly, that’s on theme for pirates

Of course, but it favors the RPer who just wants to be decent more than the minmaxer, since it encourages breadth not depth.
