I don't go to gaming conventions but I am suddenly reminded of a convention I attended in Switzerland where I was in a game of Magna Veritaa in which we were angels who had been sent back to the crucifixion in order to prevent some demons from 'saving' Jesus.

I spent three hours screaming "NAIL HIM UP! NAIL THE BASTARD TO A TREE! I'LL DO IT MYSELF!!" until they asked us to pipe down.

Good times.

A mystery finally solved: Why are English pubs full of horse brasses?

It is funny that people get upset when I express scepticism about the advice meted out by RPG influencers.

I definitely feel like the guy who has taken an old friend aside and is going "Look... I know that last break-up was really rough on you but please try to realise that the lap-dancer isn't actually in love with you"

One thing that always gets me excited to play RPGs isknowing that the person running the game can barely be arsed to do so.

*So much* GMing advice nowadays frames being a GM as a massive hassle that you just want to get out of the way as quickly as possible.

This is a hobby... It is supposed to be pleasurable... It is supposed to be an opportunity to be creative and self-expressive.

If you see it as a terrible chore then go play 5-a-side football instead.
