Social grace, emotional restraint, and **poise** create the center of _Good Society_, a Jane Austen roleplaying game. One player can act in a facilitator role, the closest this game has to a GM, but this role isn’t required. Play is diceless, supported by custom cards. Players create webs of connections to secondary characters. I missed this original Kickstarter, but they appear… poised… to kickstart a second edition soon.

Good Society - Storybrewers Roleplaying I still haven't managed to play this one, despite having all of the expansions and continually praising its various mechanics from the outside, looking longingly in.

Ich freue mich schon auf den Rollenspiel-Abend Samstag. Ich biete eine Runde #GoodSociety an, eine Jane Austen-Rollenspiel. Das habe ich schon mal geleitet und mir hat es super gefallen. Zum einen ist das Setting mal was ganz anderes, zum anderen sind die Mechaniken des Spiels cool. Sehr narrativ, sie Gruppe entscheidet selbst, was gespielt wird, und es ist einfach spannend, die Gouvernante bei einem Spaziergang im Park abzuhängen, um heimlich Händchen zu halten. Wer braucht dann noch Orks?

What are some podcasts that talk about indie games/pbta/story games and stuff?
I used to hear about things from the Jankcast (their old AW actual play really helped the game click for me) but they’ve been dead for ages and I haven’t replaced it in my listening.
I know there are a ton of OSR/D&D ones, but I want something that will talk about stuff like Good Society and Masks and Stonetop and stuff.

"Much contemporary left thought focuses on what is wrong with capitalism. Is capitalism bad because of its unjust distributive outcomes? Or is it bad because workers are dominated, subjected to arbitrary power? Or does the badness of capitalism have to do with the opacity of the market and the way it prevents valuable forms of collective agency?
While this debate about what is wrong or unjust in capitalism is important, the Left also needs to articulate a positive vision of a good society that could replace capitalism. After all, simply highlighting the problems of capitalism is unlikely to be enough to persuade people to embrace socialism. And while Karl Marx wrote that it was not for him to write “recipes for the cook-shops of the future,” “unless we write recipes for future kitchens, there’s no reason to think we’ll get food we like,” as G. A. Cohen put it.
In my forthcoming book, Flourishing Together: Karl Marx’s Vision of the Good Society, I put forward a novel interpretation of Marx’s vision of the good society. This interpretation defends the centrality of personal development and satisfying the needs of others to human flourishing. On this view, we realize ourselves through providing others with the goods and services others need for their flourishing. I argue that this interpretation is appealing, and that it could provide the Left with an attractive account of an alternative to capitalism.
However, Marx’s vision of the good society is often thought to be based on unrealistic assumptions, such as limitless abundance or an overcoming of the division of labor. My contention is that these assumptions are based on a misinterpretation of Marx’s position. To understand why Marx’s vision of the good society has been misinterpreted, we need to first understand the philosophical roots of this view."

@HeyeBodo Ich hatte viele tolle Spielrunden. Insbesondere #VelvetGlove war in mehreren Twoshots einfach jedes Mal ein Banger, dank tollem Spiel, toller Spielleiterin und tollen Mitspielenden.
Auch der #RollenspielLesekreis war immer wieder interessant. Hier hat mich vor allem #GoodSociety beeindruckt, als Spiel und als extrem gut strukturiertes, erklärtes und layoutetes Regelwerk.
Und für Plotbunny Games lief es auch gut!

Player (Kinfolk): *zurückhaltender* "He handled it as best as he could."

05 - RPG with great writing?
#GoodSociety might be the best-explained and most well-structured game I have ever read (especially at that length). Its great layout add to that.
#OurHaunt is best at not just explaining rules but also at demonstrating play culture. It just makes you feel accepted and supported all-around!
#BluebeardsBride is excellent at creating the desired vibe of the game and the GM role. So wonderfully creepily-complicit-making!

@Fuchskind Ich lese weiter in #GoodSociety, für den Lesekreis bei @plotbunnygames auf dem Discord heute Abend. Es ist eins der absolut best-erklärtesten und best-layoutetsten Rollenspiele, die ich je gelesen habe. 💖 Die Illus sind auch toll. (Gespielt hab ich es leider noch nicht, daher kann ich dazu noch nichts sagen.)

Habe jede Menge ungespielte Spiele, weil ich vieles auch nur zum Lesen kaufe.
Davon sehr gerne spielen möchte ich #ApocalypseKeys #Sleepaway #GoodSociety #MoonlightOnRosevilleBeach und ungezählte "kleinere" Spiele (meine Itch-Sammlung ist WIRKLICH groß, auch wenn ich nur die bewusst hinzugefügten Spiele zähle und keine kompletten Megabundles).

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 16: The game I'd most certainly want to own is #StorybrewerRoleplaying's #GoodSociety. I've never played it, but from what I've read, it's right up my lane. And #JaneAusten! Come on... A 2024 purchase goal perhaps? #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #RPGaDay

I made a two minute-ish clip reel thingy of some of the TTRPG performing stuff I am proud of having done in 2022.
Which also serves as peek at my ever-growing (always inexpensive) wig collection.

Finally figured out the Big Bad for #GoodSociety and I don't know all the details but I know the way to sort out all of them is to ask "What would Azula do?"
I'm psyched.

I have a Session 0 for #GoodSociety tonight and I feel like making a powerpoint would be overkill, but still keep wondering if I should make a powerpoint.
