i love imagining scenarios where morty and summer meet rick and minnie when they were their age, whether through time travel, parallel universe, age regression, or some other sci fi nonsense.

god bless him mortys trying hard to relate to his teenage grandmother from the late 70s

I couldn't reblog with a video but as a follow-up to this: Weird Al gets called out part 2 on Donny and Marie.

I don't feel like I should have to say this but if you're considering going to Death Valley to experience some of the highest temperatures we have ever experienced (temperatures are estimated to potentially hit the 130°F/54°C this weekend) as if it's some sort of tourist thrill you are genuinely one of the dumbest people ever and this may be a form of heat induced natural selection. Please stay safe and cool and hydrated for your own safety and health if you are experiencing temperatures that high. Do NOT leave your house without water, sunglasses, and sunscreen on. The heat and sun can do numbers on the body and protecting yourself is important! No one is immune to heat stroke and skin cancer

I hope you are having a very autism over hadestown :)

Hadestown was sooooooooooooooooooo.

Everything. Truly was.

I spent the whole play mouthing along to the songs ajdkfkgkhkh

Also Spent the whole car ride back analyzing and explaining the plot to my folks, correcting my dad on Greek mythology and expanding on that, and tell mom how to pronounce Persephone's name for the 15th time

WHAT TIME WE HAVE LEFT

a tragedy for 3+ players including GM. phones (or paper) required for notes.

play begins by an approximate length of the session (e.g. “about an hour”). the GM privately sets a timer in that range. do not start it yet. when this timer goes off, the game ends, and the world ends. 

together, the group agrees on a setting and any safety tools. then players create characters. note the following:

name 

description

what you want

why you can’t have it

the GM begins by describing the scene and NPCs, and setting an in-universe time limit. usually, this is the same as the real-life one. start the timer.

players and the GM act out scenes as the PCs attempt to achieve their “what you want”. when a situation’s outcome is unclear, play roshambo. if a character is the obstacle, play against them (for NPCs, GM chooses who). otherwise, play against the GM. players may choose to lose at will, but the GM may not. the person who wins describes the outcome of the action, and play continues.

when the timer goes off, the world ends. the GM describes how, and works with the players to describe each PC’s death.

Tumblr 200-Word RPGs 2023

Last November, we did an informal game jam for folks who wanted to write something for Writing Month, but would prefer to write fewer than fifty thousand words of it. You can find the complete list of participants for that event in this post here. There's also an off-Tumblr archive of entries whose authors gave permission for them to be preserved here, if any of those links turn out to be broken.

Last year's collaboration went over well enough that I thought we might dust it off again this year. To be clear, this is just for fun – it's not a curated jam, and nobody's judging winners or handing out prizes..

If you'd like to throw your hat in, just follow these steps:

Step 1: If you're unfamiliar with 200-word RPGs, read a bunch of last year's entries (linked above) or browse the 200 Word RPG Challege archives at https://200wordrpg.github.io/ to get your brain-meats properly configured.

Step 2: Write your own 200-word RPG. If you're not sure whether you have 200 words or not (and with RPGs it can genuinely be difficult to tell!), you can use the word counter at https://200wordrpg.github.io/wordcount to check.

Step 3: Reblog this post and append your 200-word RPG.

Step 4 (optional): Please indicate in your post whether you're okay with having your 200-word RPG archived off-site for posterity – if you don't say anything one way or the other, I'll assume the answer is "no".

(As before, as a courtesy to anyone who's creeping the notes, please restrict non-200-word-RPG commentary to replies and tags until November 2023 is over – let's make the actual games easy to find!)

Homestead Greys In Star Trek DS9

I recently started watching Deep Space 9 and it brought the biggest smile to my face to see Sisko wearing a Homestead Greys hat.

The Homestead Grays were a Pittsburgh-based Negro league baseball team that played in the Negro National League from 1922 to 1948…

The Homestead Grays were one of the most successful Negro league baseball teams, winning multiple championships in the Negro National League. The Homestead Grays weren’t inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame UNTIL 2006 (almost 60 years later!). The teams primary owner was inducted 60 years after his death. They were one of the best baseball teams PERIOD… They won nine straight league titles 1937-48. So seeing one of the characters in a show from the 90’s represent this team years before the baseball hall of fame even did made me so happy… The record stats from the Homestead Greys weren’t put into consideration into baseball history until this year! The Homestead Greys had some of the best baseball players of all time on their team.

As someone from Pittsburgh seeing this team represented in something as impactful as Star Trek made me so happy. Whoever did the costuming for Star Trek Deep Space 9, excellent job.

EDIT: I’ve read some of the tags and from my understanding it seems like it was Avery Brooke’s idea to include the Homestead Greys cap in DS9. Atm I am unable to confirm that. Either way, that’s so fucking cool and really has added a lot to the show for me!!

[empress-lillith]

Fuck I reached 30 tags I guess that got us rambling

For full context I guess read those first cuz I'm not putting all that here again

We got started on mythology and bitch were not close to being done

What I was about to put in another tag was:

I'm interested but I'm not gonna read scientific papers on mythology sorry Africa and Oceania...

European is just the easiest to come by and most relatable mythology. Being. A filthy European.

Although I'd love to hear more shit about mythologies that are more exotic to us

And no. I don't mean japanese. That's barely exotic at this point.

No I'm not reading journey to the west again either.

I could go on for so long honestly I fucking love mythology with a passion I wish I had more energy and patience to get deeper into it

But yeah no I'm not sitting down reading research papers or ancient texts that aged horribly for hundreds of hours

At least not with these mental illnesses I'm not

i made a character uquiz. i 100% promise you that you will get a character you know AND like

[zemnarihah]

i got pulled over and i have to go to court i think
