It’s hard to argue against the notion that RPGs are based in colonization when so many modules, campaigns, and entire settings are firmly rooted in settler colonialism.

They haven’t said. Toon Deluxe was 210 pages. At a complete guess it’ll be around that.

That’s not how that works. It’s a common myth people have about horror games when they don’t play horror games.

Some people have the most intense feelings about the dumbest possible things.

Guess that means Miracle on 34th Street ain’t a real Christmas movie either. It was released in June. Whoops.

Dropping them into dissonant contexts is also a lot of fun. Cranky old George Carlin as a librarian. “I get no respect” Rodney Dangerfield as a petty noble. Ace Ventura as a dwarf miner.
