The fact that you can totally: - rent your body for modeling - rent your body for physical labor - rent your brain for "skilled" labor But it's illegal or "immoral" to: - rent your body for modeling - rent your body for physical labor - rent your brain for "skilled" labor if you add the words "while naked" to it ...is fucking ridiculous. #SexWorkIsWork #FuckPuritanicalBullshit #FuckThePatriarchy #StopSexShaming
The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are *so* much more entertaining if you imagine them as a moderately dysfunctional D&D group.
At folx suggestion/request, I set up a GoFundMe in response to BuyMeACoffee/Stripe banning me and stopping my payments. According to BuyMeACoffee, they'll refund all my supporters within...a month. Fuck puritanical conservative capitalism and its "values". Hopefully #GoFundMe will treat me better. https://gofund.me/3ff7116d1
I just woke up this morning to an email saying my BuyMeACoffee account was suspended for adult content. Merry Christmas. I'm going to appeal it. I've never taken payment for any adult content, nor have I posted any, or made reference to any on my BuyMeACoffee page. Yay puritanical capitalism!

Hey #Tabletop #RPG folx! I have an #AskFedi for ya! GMs: What is your top tip for running good games (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)? Players: What's something your GM has done to make the game awesome that you wish more GMs would do (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)? --- I'll start (with one of each). As a GM, I use the 3-act play / 5-room dungeon style as often as possible. It keeps things tight, makes for satisfying progression, and can be scaled to work for almost anything. As a player, I was shocked the first time a GM of mine rolled some dice and said "you hit, and it takes Blorp out of the fight, what does that look like?". Every GM I'd had previously would've just said "you kill Blorp". That one question has made playing characters *feel* so much more epic.
I made a thing again! Thoughts? Questions? "Breaking News" β€” A lighthearted GMless 1-page RPG for 2 to 6 B-list supers and the press that covers them. This is a "yes, and" game. Each player represents a reporter and either a super hero or villain. Reportersβ€”unbeknownst to the public are the trickster gods of this worldβ€”working together to increase the network's ratings. Villains commit crimes, and heroes stop them. Every turn should aim to make the game more fun and the news more exciting. 1. Each person gets three cardsβ€”write a superpower on each card, then put 'em in a hat. 2. Draw three powers and write entertaining limitations for them. Put 'em back in the hat. 3. Draw two powers. 4. Declare hero or villain. If one side is outnumbered, the smaller side gets a bonus: β€’ 2:1 - get +1 to rolls or an extra power β€’ 3:1 or worse - get both 5. Write the names of your characters on a card and stand it in front of you. Characters should always be referenced by name. Powers "just work" (within their limits). Powers should always be referenced by their name and limitation. Contested actions are settled with d6sβ€”highest roll determines outcome (ties go to defender). Non-contested actions are d6 vs static difficulty (ties maintain status quo): β€’ 1-2: easy β€’ 3-4: difficult β€’ 5-6: "impossible" Non-contested difficulties and the truth of reporter statements should be generally agreed upon by the table. A turn consists of a fact-establishing observation by your reporter and/or a cinematic action by your super. The game starts when the villains decide on a crime and a reporter goes live with breaking news about it. Turns pass to the opposing super who acted least recently. Game ends when reporters agree it would be better for ratings to cover the Great British Bake Off. This is a "Saturday morning cartoon" game; nobody important dies (unless they want to)β€”they just limp off to fight another day. --- Example powers, limitations: - Telekinesis, but only works on burger. - Invisibility, but only when no one is looking. - Phase through objects, but clothes don't. - Laser vision, but terrible eyesight. - Super speed, but horrible motion sickness. - Shapeshifting, but maintain mass. Example crimes / targets: 1. Rob / Bank 2. Hijack / Train 3. Destroy / Tech Startup 4. Kidnap / Celebrity 5. Disgrace / Politician 6. Vandalize / Landmark Example liveplay: Alice: "Hello PNW-TV 12! We're coming to you live, where we've just learned that Captain Softserveβ€”whose freeze ray is regularly out of orderβ€”has teamed up with the Burger Masterβ€”the teen who can telekinetically control burger with their mind, and they're in the process of hijacking the 1-line to Cap Hill! I believe we actually have someone from PNW-TV 12 *on* the train now! Over to you Bob; what's going on down there?" Bob: "Thanks Alice! It's true, I am on the train now, and things are crazy hereβ€”" *CRASH* "Oh my! The hero SpeedLimit, the motion-sick speedster, has just caught up with the train and jumped in through a window!" SpeedLimit: "Don't worry folx, I'll make sure you get there...on time πŸ˜‰β€”" [rolls a 2] 🀒 *hurkβ€”* Carol: "β€”Aaand we're cutting back in the studio where a psychic has phoned in to tell us they see a raised drawbridge in our train's future." #TTRPG #1PageRPG #MicroRPG
