Anybody here in PSL?

I last applied 5 years ago and stopped trying after hearing nothing, and just got a text reaching out about joining, which I thought would be an email if anything so just feels odd

Kitty Mega!

All my studies for commercial grade toilets is in vain since place I’m working at just uses residential toilets

I recently started using Crayola Crayons instead of solder. I think the colors make the connections look better, and they seem to hold just as well!

I promise to stop making Deltarune references now

How does anyone make money on chocolate bars? they’re the winrar of food.

@CrawlMarks@hexbear.net re: the last tabletop post “I am not sure what you would miss out. Like, just make an auspex roll DC 15.” i think the idea is that - going with the VtM example specifically - something like a dice pool system can allow for greater granularity of results, which can be important in a game where the Skill System is a much more central part of the resolution mechanic. also less important but still relevant, counting successes has a bit of a different gameflow to doing table arithmetic vs a DC, neither better or worse but just bring different vibes. and also also, on a pure monkey brain level for some folks “roll many dice fun” is the vibe, for others “d20 cool i like rolling d20” is more their jam.

i’d also add that the Tinkerer’s Way isn’t for everyone so the design at the table aspect can be frustrating for a lot of GMs, some prefer something that works better as an immediate pick up and play product (im obviously a tinkerer so this isnt me lol to the point my little bundle of house rules turned into its own work-in-progress system). but yeah outside the realm of 5e hegemony in the indie RPG space, i think we are very much in the “opinionated system that does one hyperspecific thing very well as a product-right-out-of-the-box” era as opposed to a games-as-toolboxes generic system era. (though many if not most of these opinionated systems start as hacks/forks of preexisting ones so idk, it’s also kinda secretly a games-as-toolboxes kind of thing)

Cats :3

looks like i won’t be the only one meowing in this megathread :3
