A lot of times as a #GM we can be tempted to say no to a player. Why not say yes instead? Not only is this embracing the “yes, and” philosophy of improvisation, but it will lead to more fun for the players and for us too. I also discuss leveling in #Daggerheart compared with other games I’ve played. I compare 1st level Daggerheart characters with beginning characters in games like D&D, Pathfinder, Cypher System, and World of Darkness.

In this episode of my #RPG #podcast I discuss GM pitfalls to avoid in #Daggerheart and other RPGs.
I give some tips on how to prepare for more improvisational gaming sessions, and how to plan story beats without railroading the players.
I show how you can also use Fear to make an encounter as easy or difficult as you want, and it always feels above board and fair to the players, no matter how well or how badly things are going for their characters.

I return to my discussion of The Culture setting and explore the Culture’s economic systems. This leads to a discussion of our current day economics systems and government corruption. How do we move to our current corrupt systems to one like The Culture’s where there is true democracy and equality?

This week on my #podcast I return to my discussion of The Culture setting and explore the Culture’s origins and its structure of government, such as it is. I also touch on why galactic empires are impractical, unlikely, and probably a silly idea. We’ll also explore why rebellion against controlling powers is much easier in a space-living civilization than one limited to a single planet.

A lot of people these days seem to think that acupuncture is real medicine and backed by science. It's neither of those things.

Yet another reason we will NOT see long-term human habitation in low-g environments like the surface of Mars or the Moon anytime in the near future.
The only way humans will be able to live in low or zero-g long term is in structures that rotate to give 1 g of artificial gravity, and those will exist in orbit, not on the surfaces of planets.
So when Musk says there will be cities on Mars, he's either ignorant of the realities or just plain lying.

Don't listen to Republicans that will try to convince you this is bad for you, when in reality it's just bad for the wealthy corporations lining their pockets.

Adding an item you're interested in buying to an Amazon wishlist lets you to see if the price drops and by how much.
I've noticed Amazon will often say a product is on sale when it's the same price it always has been.
This item has been $13.95 for months, but now says it's 27% off, limited time deal.
This is designed to make you think you're getting a deal when you're not, and to create a false sense of urgency to buy the item while it's "on sale".
