Went to a local board game meetup, had a good time seeing good people but still haven’t asked one of them what life decisions led to him getting a Rick & Morty neck tattoo

Probably better to be non-judgemental and not ending up staring into that abyss

Spewing insults, pissing off all your neighbors, betraying your allies, backing out of treaties and accords, and generally screwing over the global environment?

The stand-by trick to distract my players when I'm extremely unprepared is just to toss an eccentric con artist merchant at them, they'll spend hours fascinated by novelty swords and oddly coloured polygons described in a quirky voice, which... probably explains why they're playing D&D in the first place.

They're chasing around a gang that they think controls hyperintelligent rats but the gang actually is the rats so I let them chase rats around for a while, get attacked by a recurring miniboss, have a couple social encounters and had them fight the wererat group they thought was the boss but were shocked to discover they were actually minions

they still don't know the rats are collectively the gang, also i made sture to tell them that rats were pissing in their clothes every night

My players have discovered a weird underground town beneath a military academy and no it's absolutely not a ripoff of the Eternal City from Elden Ring shut up

But they found some bodies undergoing alchemical mutations and a weird lab and some instructions on how to alchemically infuse metal with unknown substances. They're all very much like "hey what the gently caress is this Dead Space poo poo"

They're about to uncover the Main Encounter for the chapter, which is the dwarf using alchemy/metallurgy in an attempt to resurrect an eldritch entity. If they solve some puzzles fast enough, they'll be able to interrupt the ritual instead of fighting a half-awakened cosmic dragon

I tried this once and my players went so in on the hammer-based pyramid scheme the guy was pitching they tried to sell hammers to the big bad on the grounds that he might buy enough to equip an entire army.

It's a fool-proof strategy, is what I'm saying

Started a project that probably won't get far, but we'll. I got the rules for MÖRK BOLL, but there's not much interest in it with my usual nerds (who don't like sports, even in tabletop game for, I guess), so gently caress it, I run a league on my lonesome.

Rolled up the team names, player names, and jersey numbers for two teams:

The Madwizard Rovers
96 - Pink Bob
777 - Football 666
14 - Ham Destiny
39 - Crab James
XX - Smooth Silk Smithy

The Dawn Wood
56 - Deadly Piggo
14 - Right-Handed Daemon
12 - Pointy Daryl
32 - Mum's Favourite Hat
18 - Ada, The Best Boller

Now I gotta decide what minis I'll use. The rules have normal medieval weapons, so I might use some Frostgrave minis I've had in the backlog for a while. Or convert some Blood Bowl minis.

I started Yakuza 4, but I'm kinda taking a break after finally beating kiwami 2 and speeding through 3. Also drat, if 3 is the weakest entry in the series, that's maybe high praise considering how much I appreciated 3.

Also, some members of PYF may be aware, but the Goonfund has been revived under new management (as voted on by the community) and is officially incorporated and is able to take donations from anyone and everyone. And of course, dispensing aid to those in need. If you're interested or belong to either of the two groups I just mentioned - maybe check out the thread or even just bookmark it for now.

lol I told people at a place I worked a while back that I wasn't gonna cross a picket line so if the machinists went on strike on and picketed, I would not cross it regardless of language about sympathy striking in our contract

we're in the negotiation phase right now with our national government and they're being absolute dicks and lowballing us, so pretty much every non-STEM humanities/social sciences university faculty in the country went on strike today. looks like we'll be having more coming up, because the current government is on some austerity bullshit. thank god we still have pretty strong trade unions here. our trade union in particular also has a history toppling governments when they get involved.

but yeah, i spent 5 years in the US as a teamster and i have literally never been treated better by an employer. unions rule.
