I usually consider myself a #ttrpg gamer, who also likes his #boardgames.

I'm also an IT professional with a love for old computers, hacker culture and #retrocomputing.

I enjoy #wuxia in film and literature, and also books in general.

I practice #xingyi and #WingChun .

I've been trekking through the books, and sure enough, same basic pattern as Space Master, where the adventures are at least 20-25% likely to be high-trust designs.

I've even revisited the one MERP book I had a copy of in the 80s: Perils on the Sea of Rhûn ... and the writing is a bit stiff, the organization a bit off. BUT: yep, still some HTT adventure to be had! I bounced off the writing as a kid. Almost did again.

I'm so sorry I didn't know you back-when, ICE. 😥

@SJohnRoss any you'd recommend to look at, in general?

@SJohnRoss @capybarbarian when you develop some favourites, I'd love to hear about them!

Anecdotally, it looks to me like the #TTRPG corner of the fediverse boosts and favs less often than your average, engaged account. Replies less, too, maybe. I'm not just talking about my posts. Most of the boosts I see via this account are about other topics—politics, as often as not. Maybe we got too accustomed to letting an algorithm do the work for us, but that's not how conversation spreads in the fediverse. I don't see how TTRPG fedi can grow if we don't cheer one another on more.

@Glupinickname @SJohnRoss @SymbolicCity good to know I'm not the only one missing some interactions then. Sometimes you get the "shouting into the void" feeling.

@Glupinickname @SJohnRoss @SymbolicCity I think I might still harbor the idealistic view there are less assholes around here. If for nothing less than that there are fewer people in total.

@SJohnRoss A win is a win, either way, indeed! @Glupinickname @SymbolicCity

@SymbolicCity I have, luckily, not seen much of them, so I get to keep my idealistic view. ;)
But, yeah let's not delude ourselves. @Glupinickname @SJohnRoss

The original 1997 Fallout is quaint, but not easy!

@SJohnRoss @chgowiz I have been trying to stay away from spoilers for Zork since I first tested in in the 1980-ies. Sometimes I take a stab at it again, but never get far.

It's generally how I attempt those kind of games, I drop it for a while when I get to a puzzle I can not crack. A year or five later I try it again, having forgotten how I got as far as I did the last time.

Maybe I should just read some hints?

@chgowiz @SJohnRoss my only experience of MMO games are MUDs and apart from a quick re-visit a couple of years ago, it all happened in the early nineties. I barely remember I did it.

hey spell casters, dungeon delvers, and adventurers

what's your favorite d&d class, any edition? #dnd #ttrpg

AndreasDavour ,
@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@craigofinspiration I find I am attracted to the ranger, but for no game mechanical reason.

AndreasDavour ,
@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @craigofinspiration maybe there's a reason I also find druids to be kind of cool. I have never played one, though.

@chgowiz my wife plants a plenty at her lot, but it seems like getting something to grow is another matter entirely. I am impressed when someone makes something grown and produce. I guess I am really far removed from my farming forefathers!

AndreasDavour ,
@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@chgowiz really! That's impressive. Considering how people back in the days did this for a living, keyboard cowboys like me probably seriously underestimate what it takes to farm enough to live by...

I'm not much of a wine guy (more of a whiskey and gin guy), so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Merlot is the winiest of wines.

AndreasDavour ,
@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@BrianBinh it is one component of a classic Bordeaux blend, so it probably remind many people of some of the classic feel of a red wine.

AndreasDavour ,
@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@BrianBinh I personally approve thinking along those lines, even though I have a personal preference for the wines from Jura, which tend to be of the white variety. But, I totally dig your line of thinking!

I swear, every time I boot into Windows, it does an update that reactivates some bullshit that gives me grief in Linux.

This time: It auto-re-enabled "Fastboot", locking my backup drive to Linux until I went back in, hunted it down, changed it back.

Such utter nonsense.

@LeviKornelsen there's a lesson there.
