More than a bit obsessed with the power dynamics in games of pretend.

I house six cats.
Six.

I don't have all the answers, or even all the questions.

@nprofile…wryx there is often joy in mano a mano manipulation.

@nprofile…wryx i'd rather have a Trautonium, if we're just daydreaming. I think they sound the most musical, I hate to say organic when it comes to music, so natural. Expressive. Subtle. Layered.

@nprofile…6urt at what age can you discuss Zeus?

Golden Sky Stories, but like it's super serious shit. Sophie's Choice serious.
These poor little animal people are having to contend with the harshest realities of humanity.
It'd make for an intetesting contrast.

To the five rpg folks who are still here,
Let me save you some time. Instead of "worldbuilding" build a tiny economy, and/or a very simple ecology... if you must.
Not everyone is Tolkien, even the man himself is no longer... himself.
Or try and make something, only vaguely resembling a story, without the whole notion of "worldbuilding"(whatever that is).

@nprofile…6urt my two quick questions are - how many Hit Points does a Toddler have or does it supplant the parties individual Hit Points with it's own?
What moves the party forward? What imparts pressure toward forward momentum?
In normal stupid fantasy roleplay, there is the promise of both treasure and self-improvement... kinda.

Folks that say Game of Thrones is savage, have likely never seen St. Elsewhere.

@nprofile…4vdp hmm... I think we get worse at playing pretend, the older we get, so I wouldn't have much to say really.
Make your little pretend sort-of-stories with your friendos, younger me.

@nprofile…4vdp and not to judge people too harshly for something that might in the moment feel wrong to you.
It's okay to take a break, and talk about anything sticky that was brought up while pretending.
The show need not go on.

@nprofile…4vdp eye-contact.
A willingness to stfu and let someone else talk.
A willingness to abandon your good idea, in favor of someone else's great idea.
