I should make more Warframe shitposts/share my screenshots on here. Not just because my Bionicle/Warframe post cracked 150 notes, but more primarily because it's been fun.

Furby Ordis is a definite highlight, even tho I'm pretty sure it was a reply.

Cressida Blackwater, my beloved, you are so "Oh Ho Ho anime laugh" coded.

Want to color, but I don't have any colors.

This reminds me of the time they gave me the "you wake up and all electricity has stopped" writing prompt in school and I was like... Here's the harrowing tale of a world where all electricity stopped in the US, including the electrical impulses that make our hearts beat.

in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying

The existence of a pianist implies the possibility of an as-yet undiscovered fortist.

Where might we find this elusive fortist, and when we do, will we find that someone is "bent-down smorkin' it?"

In this essay I will...

The Librarians is so different from Leverage. See, The Librarians is about a team of 5 secret heroes consisting of a non-American thief with a hidden past, a quirky bisexual autistic-coded girl with trauma, a tough country guy played by Christian Kane, a sarcastic guy who provides technical support, and a leader who watches over the team like a parent. Also Noah Wyle is there.

I've seen (and heard about) a lot of Oxventure posts that are talking about how Oxventurers Guild was bad but Wyrdwood is good.

One - I hate to see two bad bitches pitted against each other.

Two - Speaking from experience, you can't be a table like Wyrdwood without having been a table like the Oxventurers Guild.

Did people not know the rules? Yes. Did people play suboptimally? Yes. Did Johnny bend rules and consequences to move things along? Yes. But people seem to forget that the first Oxventure campaign started with basically zero previous experience. We were watching people learning.

Yesterday I was talking with @randomthunk about this, and I compared watching Oxventure from beginning to present like reading The Dark Tower. Reading The Gunslinger and watching that story progress over seven books gave me confidence as a writer. You can start imperfect. You can make mistakes. You can be less than your best as you're getting your feet under you, and a willingness and enthusiasm to do that will take you to greatness. Plus, it's a story of an author evolving as much as it's a story of Roland Deschain going to the Tower.

I think many many other actual plays have given people unrealistic expectations, where Oxventure (as I've said before) brought me back to gaming. And as much as I think a person could come to Wyrdwood new and love it, the Oxventurers Guild campaign makes what comes next so much more meaningful. We've seen what each player does well across the original and side campaigns, and we got to see that because of the freedom the first campaign gave them. Now we get to see those natural talents paired with an understanding of the system (which we were already seeing in Blades and Deadlands, but now we have a 1 to 1 comparison).

In my first stint in gaming 20 years ago, I didn't have the freedom at my original table to learn and make mistakes. You got it right or you got mocked. I have good tables I love now because I began seeking out tables that reminded me of Oxventure: willing to go on tangents, willing to help each other, okay with fudging things on the fly if it preserved our good time. I'm a better player now because I had those experiences.

tl;dr your taste is your taste and some things are naturally gonna hit you better than others, but writing off the Oxventurers Guild because the mechanics weren't as tight is missing the entire point of how this group has evolved.

Wyrdwood is Good.

I already love the new characters.

The world that Johnny has created is the perfect blend of everything.

And I'm really looking forward to this Robin guy.
