Space·Time Will Tell @Yoric@tabletop.social

You may have heard that #Microsoft is officially switching to a #browser based on #Google's #Chromium.

This means that, within a few months, for most users, Google will be in a position where they can decide what you can see on the web, how you can pay, and on which devices. Also, they already know who you are.

#Firefox is now the last browser standing attempting to prevent this #monopoly. Please try it. Please help your friends and family and coworkers try it.

Please Boost.

By the way, always #lookingforplayers in or around #Paris, #France :)

Will role-play/GM in French or English.

Time for an #introduction. Hi, I'm a guy/he from France. As a hobby, I'm
a Role-player (mostly GM), Storyteller, Improv actor. Also, GM-ing for children.

I'm quite on the narrative side.

I have recently published my first DriveThruRPG product and I'm working on two more. More self-promotion later :)

I just realized that it should be possible to use Blades in the Dark/Forged in the Dark for a pretty good X-Men-themed game.

Out of curiosity, anybody else from around Paris, France?

I have had the opportunity to play Stuffed Fables over the holidays. It's a great board game of tactics for kids (with at least one adult)!

The rules are a little bit opaque (one of the reasons for the presence of an adult), but the game is fun and the stories are cute!

Now that I have had time to try Blades in the Dark and read Scum & Villainy, I quietly ponder the idea of hacking the ruleset for my Doctor Who-ish Rogue Time Bureaucrats.

Possible crew playbooks:
- The Rescuers (do-gooders, collectors, ...)
- The System (fascists, anarchists, cultists, cybermen, ...)
- The Private Sector

Possible character playbooks: Continuum...
- Gardener (mastermind)
- Tinkerer
- Explorer
- Brawler (I should find a better name)
- Charmer (diplomat, ...)
- Know-it-all

Happy New Year everyone!

(yes, I know I'm late, but I'm only coming back online today)

Well, the first real test of my #kid-oriented #lego-based #coop #soccer #bloodbowl variant was a pretty good success :)

Final score: 1 for the humans, 1 for the AI.

Finally managed to run a game of Blades in the Dark!

The Whisper ended up with one level of Trauma. They are now looking for an alchemist rumored to be able to cure broken souls. We'll see where that leads...

So, if I understand correctly, when a player accepts a Devil's Bargain, you start the clock, and only later do you decide what it was for?

I like you. It's the kind of deviousness I've been practicing in ADRPG when I GMed :)

Still, since I happen to like Tarot-style improv decks (I even made a few), I might mix those two techniques.

Reading about witch trials in the Early Modern period. Quite interesting.

Apparently, the Catholic Church was very conflicted about witches. The official canon *often* held that #witchcraft was not #supernatural, not an #heresy, merely an error or con, and did not deserve to be pursued.

This belief was however often not shared by local abbots, bishops and later Protestants.

The #Inquisition investigated #witchcraft trials and declared them illegal.

Still, witches got burnt.
