None of those games need sequels, and neither did Hades. I get why they did, because it was the first time they weren’t veering on bankruptcy and could use a bigger safety net, but doubling down on this lack of creativity is hardly what I expect from Supergiant.

I can’t recall if it was on the second or third year of high school, but it was a single Biology class. The teacher was comfortable with it, but she was very clearly biased towards abstinence and insisted the only way to be 100% sure was to just not have sex.

Despite that, she still talked about basics of sex and genitalia, a few common STDs, and basic preventive measures, both for pregnancy and STDs - even if they weren’t particularly effective. Both coitus interruptus and sodomy (we had a loooot of fun repeating that word for a week or so) were mentioned as ways to avoid pregnancy, but condoms and IUDs were the real recommendations.

As a class, we weren’t too rowdy, though there was a kid or two that made a few too many jokes - and the teacher cut them off fairly quickly. I also recall she handled pamphlets with each of the methods talked during class and their approximate efficacy.

This was in 2005-ish and I’m Brazilian.

Also of note this was the second time, the first attempt happened in middle school (and in a different school altogether) and we had to do a presentation on STDs and the like. The teacher decided to cancel at the last minute because we were clearly too embarrassed to actually talk about the subject in front of our classmates.

I realize the hypocrisy of saying this, as the person who started the conversation, but yes, its considered very rude to point someone out as an egg in a genuine fashion, for multiple reasons but including outing against their will, the idea that they might already transitioned in their own way, the idea of trying to define someone without their consent, etc.

No, he makes occasional art that feels egg-y

Every day it gets harder for Shen to beat the allegations

I recommend everyone hit up the Trove, get HakuNeko or a similar app and start making offline backups. Its not going to get easier from now on. KissManga and Mangafox still have suitable uploads for plenty of those series, but we don’t know for how long.

I wasn’t expecting quality from modern Bungie but this is definitely an unexpected low

I was obviously talking about COVID.

Not all games use that type of system. Masks, for example, along with a few other PbtAs give players Exp/Potential when they fail a roll. That’s an incentive for trying riskier actions, as well as not power-gaming and only use the attributes/labels you excel at since failure has its own reward - besides being fun.

When you’re trying to think about how to distribute/grant exp, its not just about how characters are growing, but also why. Sure, you can have that TES-like system where you need to train Lockpicking, but how many opportunities will a GM have to present enough situations where a player can lockpick for Exp? Imagine every time someone played Skyrim and forged a hundred daggers because they needed to level up blacksmithing and how that would translate to a ttrpg (or not, since its a particularly bad system by itself)

I believe RPGs often benefit from narrative exp, and to use your Burglar example, they could have exp triggers that involve deception, forgery, stealing, etc. So whenever they lie to someone for self-profit, use their skills for ill gain, steal without clear necessity and such, they’d gain Burglar exp, and eventually perfect those moves or learn new ones.

Not trying to be too dismissive, but anyone in 2019 who guessed what the world would be like in the future was terribly mistaken, at this point I’m just hoping things don’t get too hot.

Thank you! Fuck you! A villain has arrived!

I read them as a couple, though now I’m not sure the artist intended that way

Amazing!

My issue with horny RPGs is that if you can find people to play with that are into whatever kink the book is catering to, why would you bother to play at all? Just have sex.

Because the point is role playing. You might as well ask what’s the point of any kink, fetish or sexual situation that isn’t two married adults having sex for the purpose of procreation. Building up trust and eroticism is the point for a lot of people, even in plain porn¹

¹all porn media has a story, even if people like to joke that its pointless, but that’s a bigger topic for a very different conversation

I did a read on FATAL’s book in a Discord VC not long ago, and it just keeps going and going and going and going…the jokes about rolling for anal circumference actually do it justice. Would be hell to play, though, there’s definitely better horny RPGs to try any RPG is a horny RPG if you try hard enough

On an actual comment, mom could really be player 4 there, they clearly need someone to tank those hits

Pretty good, I’ll keep an eye on it
