Turns out a guy I know from discord who I hadn't talked to since like, March of 2019, is part of an official Free League actual play of Forbidden Lands, which is cool. He also is always set to appear offline, but I saw that his avatar changed so I was like "Oh I guess he does still use this".
Ended up joining two new communities, so that's fun.
This past Sunday I corrected a player's pronunciation of "bon mot" as it's a major part of the character he's playing, and if he's going to say it a lot, he might as well say it right. He was like "Oh yeah it's probably french isn't it."
I pray to god this campaign doesn't contain a trebuchet because if that word ever comes up it's going to be a disaster.
There was a twitter thread about "What mechanics do you steal from other games to make your dnd game better?" and there were so many examples of people saying that D&D 5E is lackluster and bad, but instead of just, I dunno, playing a better game, they cobble together this mishmash of rules. It's so weird how many people really love this objectively bad product produced by a huge corporation.
The CRB for Coriolis: The Third Horizon is out of stock on both Amazon and a local game store the last three times I went. To me, this is fucked up.
Also I love how some games will still have like "What is an RPG" section in them, even though they are unlikely to be anyone's first RPG. I know it's just to hedge their bets, but like, if you're picking up a copy of certain RPGs, you're already an Advanced Gamer.
