Old. Funny but repeated too often. I don’t like DnD but even if they once gave stats to Cthulhu, I wouldn’t name a game to be better. Why one? On which criteria?

Also: I like World of Darkness. I have Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changelin, and many add ons. But let’s be honest (and troll a bit): Vampire the Masquerade is just a simulation of puberty. The system, when it was released, was awesome but it is way to crunchy for today’s standards.

If one should bash DnD, then do it with style with modern games: Blades in the Dark, Fate, Dungeon World, Ironsworn,… whatever from this century.

There’s another challenge available, without javascript.

I like Hope is Not a Plan but it is a bit depressing. I would like something to release the pressure of work. Something in the mood of Eat the Reich or Blades in the Dark/CBR+PNK. But I couldn’t find a good game. Corp Borg has been a bit disappointing.

It is the same thing. In our case it’s not attached to the seniority. The person ending their shifts replays its incident when there has been one, with the person who is taking the pager after them. We are deeper in the infrastructure so we don’t have customers but we roleplay stakeholders (lead/head, principals, developer). My favorite is the person who has experienced something wrong but it is only this person and bad luck :P

I don’t like the concept of wargames. We don’t need war to do this, nor conflict.

I see this more as an astronaut training: it has to be a solution, at least in the mind of the person proposing the situation. It also cultivates a spirit to always search for a way out of the invident.

One rule we adopted is that when the responder doesn’t know, they have to say it. Once it said, they need to say outloud what do they search. Then the focus shifts to the audience, they have to find 3 different ways to respond to what the responder is searching (to know or to do). It is hard and so far it balances well the dynamic (it is OK to not know, it is important to recognise we don’t know, and it is funny to share how we can hack our way through the system (the 3rd way is pretty hard and is in general a hack)).

I now realize that perhaps I could write a blog post on this.

• Managing Misfortune for Best Results
• Disaster Role Playing

In my domain (IT, with On-Call), there’s a practice called “Wheel of Misfortunes” or “Game hour”. This is in fact a short TTRPG session to simulate incident. This works very well. I am a paid DM 1h per week for my colleagues :)

Play your character like a stolen car.

It’s even in the rules.

Look also to one heir of PbtA: Blades in the Dark.I’m biaised, I like mist of this game (including Deep Cut).

I would add that you can run kubectl apply on directories and/or have multiple yaml structure in the same taml file (separated with —, it’s a yaml standard).

Stop replacing TTRPG by DnD and I would be fine 😜

The source I assume: challenges/metarefresh.

Support, pay, and get it :)

And what if the DM is a woman?

Could you test this? It wukd bring fact to the conversation instead of just doubt and workload.

It is still a bit maintained. When the backend provider broke, it has been updated. Nevertheless, the provider is still a company. I don’t have the experience to switch to peer.js to make is really open source and free.

Is it me or once again, DnD is the issue instead of the people?

Actually not really, like any governments but it hapoened to have some good decisions some times.

Neglecting little victories, little baby steps, is a way to demoralise everybody. Rome wasn’t built in a day. But they didn’t wait to have the plan ready either.

It is so French to be against things when they are not final nor perfect. “One idiot standing is better than 10 intellectuals sitting”. Abortion would never have been added to the constitution is it wouldn’t have been first a more little law before.

No, it’s not. They may not cancel M$ contract but one step at a time, one hand may challenge the other to sign it again. Yes, it’s called administration.

Nevertheless, for once, let’s recognise something is moving in the good direction. This country is rotted by sarcasm, nihilism, and unrealistic theorical positions. Just try to smile when there’s something good.
