Wandering Adventure Party

@CactuarJoe pizza is a model of non-carceral justice

@Taskerland my gut instinct from the dnd next playtests has always been that mearls had two internal thoughts when makign 5e:

1. pathfinder has two audiences. one is build freaks, the other is "people who didn't like 4e". we only need to win back the people who didn't like 4e
2. cut off the nascent OSR at its head to avoid the "next" pathfinder from emerging down the line

@Taskerland this is why it's on the backburner. i have to wait for the pendulum swing. can't be pre-emptively correct just yet

me: man why did i stop writing articles
also me: OH YEAH

@Taskerland or in filipino, where it was released as SKY RANGER GAVIN

@Taskerland oh im only posting about Gavan because they announced a reboot literally yesterday

@Taskerland i think the only one from before i was born i've been watching recently was kamen rider black

SHE'S JUST LIKE ME FR FR

@Printdevil i will at some point explain the "vampires only don't appear on cameras which have mirrors in them, which is why the Leica M8 is disgustingly popular among vampire photographers" bit

@Printdevil they're actually connected phenomena and that's canon now

vampires tend to all die out and then re-emerge every couple hundred years as an immune response "to what?" great question

i do think the funniest thing about bloodsuckers is that i established the conceit of the oldest vamps being at-most 400 years old and immediately ignored it to have elizavet start coping about her crush on a long-dead roman courtesan

@Printdevil @RogerBW @Taskerland Brimstone Club has 100% co-opted the Templar Castle that was turned into a Big Tescos

@Printdevil @Taskerland the key difference is, i think, that i grew up two doors down from a crack den and was almost eaten by a snake as a baby and my first girlfriend and i got banned for life from a macdonalds for nicking the straws and blowing the wrappers at each other while screaming MAN DOWN MAN DOWN when someone got hit by one so bloodsuckers is more about reveling in that kind of New Town Shitness

@Taskerland look, you get a bunch of catholic white boys to write a book about the parts of big cities they're deathly afraid about and you pretty much never get anything that ages well

but hoo boy does Achilli have Thoughts about "female impersonators" that he expresses repeatedly through Revised

@Taskerland wait until you see what he has to say about trans women!!!

@Taskerland @Printdevil @RogerBW yet more reasons why i need to finish the bloodsuckers novella

@Taskerland Justin Achili strikes me as a miserable cunt and the entire Revised era is him shouting that people are playing the game wrong

...so naturally he was placed in charge of revamping Werewolf 5th and Hunter 5th after White Wolf caught a terminal case of "swedish nazis"

@Printdevil WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THIS WASN'T AN EDIT

@Taskerland @Printdevil to be fair when you break it down into novels MOST of that is procurement pals. but i could write a 4000 word singles club fic once a week until the end of time tbh
