Repost from @theslowfactory and @falasteenrising:

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a decision deeming illegal the zionist entity’s settlements in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds, considering that they amount to “de facto annexation” and are a violation of the Geneva Convention.

The ICJ noted that the zionist entity has accelerated settlement construction in the occupied West Bank with 24,000 new units, thus violating international law and creating an untenable living situation for Palestinians.

The court called for the entity to stop all new settlement activities and for UN members not to recognize “israel’s” presence in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds.

The court highlighted the zionist entity’s exploitation of resources, prevention of entry of water to Palestinians, and transfer of settlers to Palestinian areas, noting that these contradict “international commitments.”

The ICJ viewed the zionist entity’s practices against Palestinians as possibly amounting to “discrimination and apartheid.”

Zionist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for annexing the entire West Bank after the decision, while “National Security Minister” Itamar Ben-Gvir called the decision anti-Semitic.

if you're holding very rich, extremely sheltered people to the standards you live by in your life you're always gonna be disappointed and im sorry about that but we have to stop letting celebrities decide our morals and ethics for us. even the coolest, most down to earth famous person you love lives in a totally different world than you do and the issues that you face daily do not matter to them. it's cruel but it's true. stop putting your faith in rich people to do the right thing no matter how much you like them. you will always be disappointed.

I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face

[popiellart]

can you elaborate on how you do dao style origins in your ttrpgs? I'm curious

I do 1-on-1 prologue sessions with each player before the group game start proper, not just a quick aside, but a whole separate session

since i mostly run World of Darkness, these prologue sessions tend to be the last day of the PC's normal life, which might sounds boring on the surface but actually gets shockingly riveting (esp with excellent roleplayers such as my players are)

i let them struggle with some mundane problems, i let them see glimpses of strange dark world under the surface of normalcy, i let them spend time with a couple NPCs, some of which will be returning, especially friends and loved ones, it gives them something to fight for and care for and hold on to!!

... And then I do the GM-ly thing and rip it all away from them 😊 The prologue sessions usually culminate in a character's entry into the World of Darkness proper, so, for example, for Vampire: the Masquerade, we finish the session with the player character getting murdered

the value-to-effort ratio is ridiculous from these. i'm not a very experienced GM, so i'm still learning how to maximize the potential, but my more experienced friend, @elegiacescapist, who is running a Sabbat V:tM game for myself and a couple of friends, easily squeezed veritable fuckmountains of value from our prologue sessions.

I'm talking putting in super-strong foundations for NPC relationships, power dynamics, exploitable traumas and character building moments, hints of secrets and plots to come, the events in them got a bunch of art and writing from players, etc.

it's not strictly DA:O style, per se, but it's the same principle - letting you create and embody your character, but making it so that they have tangible place in the world they occupy

Openly advocating for genocide and ethnic cleansing who and what the fuck gives these people the right????

Actually, I've decided the most unrealistic thing in All For The Game/The Sunshine Court isn't the mafia, it's the apparent absence of the draconian NCAA gifting rules. None of that would have happened if Wymack got suspended for buying his players a sandwich.

For those unaware: the NCAA imposes incredibly strict regulations on student-athletes to maintain the illusion that they are unpaid amateurs and prevent colleges from "hiring" the best players via outsized scholarships. Kevin's supposed millions in sponsorships would have been completely disallowed until like 2 years ago (profiting off your image was banned). But also, coaches and players are completely disallowed from anything which even looks like payment or accepting a gift. Buying food for your players? BANNED! Buying Neil clothes because he has literally 1 shirt? BANNED! Plane tickets across the country? PROBABLY NOT! Everything Wymack does is spitting in the NCAA's face and daring them to suspend him.

[black-quadrant]

sign of the times when you can honestly say you'd prefer the fandom you're in stay small rather than grow, even at the cost of new fanmade content, because fandom space has become so predominantly hostile.
