I don't get it

Actually, there was a big culture in rural areas to just fuck with cops for fun, and the best way to avoid being arrested is to be faster than the cops.

Enought people agreed with you that they were able to be parted from their money in great amounts

This is about as good as advice as "encourage conservatives to forage for mushrooms with Google Lens"

Yes. Its part of the penalty system. If the batter fails to hit a ball that they could have hit, they get a strike, and they get three strikes before they have to go to the back of the line and let the next batter swing: if 3 batters strike out, the teams switch. If the pitcher throws so poorly that the batter would not have been able to hit the ball without lunging for it, the pitcher gets a "ball". Four balls means the batter walks to first base (and everyone else walks to the next base). Unlike batting, pitchers do not rotate when they accumulate three balls, because pitching is so physically demanding that switching them out is already a regular process.

Easy enough that I had to read your comment a few times to read it with the non-aggro tone you intended lol

The hard part is when there's a community built around a game system with its own traditions and rituals. That's never in the books. This is only an issue with bigger systems like V:tM, Pathfinder, and Shadowrun, but you just need to learn to play them from other people just like you learned to play D&D.

My old irl group had a lot of diversity in the games we ran. My personal favorite was Trail of Cthulhu

Everything is correct except the last line, but only because I have poured a tremendous amount of effort into it (and I still slip up sometimes). Making the person I'm talking to not feel judged or condescended to is actually my most well-developed skill, very important for the education field.

My character is 17 (actually 23 due to dimesional fuckery), has published a math textbook, and is trying really hard to not murder people anymore. He's also firmly on the blue and orange morality spectrum, loves teaching literally anything at any time, and is disgusted by the concept of the afterlife. Fun guy. Wonder what a therapist would make of him

A national tragedy happened this morning

Seriously, do they just let anyone drive that thing? What an idiot of a driver.

Had a cool idea for an ttrpg about growing up in a hunter-gatherer culture in a stone-age fantasy setting. The coolest part of idea, for me as the writer/designer, would be to have a section on "rituals" where I describe their technologies as magical rituals, not just a series of materials and steps. For example, instead of saying "you can get a +1 bonus on knapping checks by heat-treating your toolstone" it would be described as blessing the toolstone with fire, which leads into the idea of magic rock that has been fire-blessed by volcano spirits (obsidian).

I am vaguely aware of other technologies, such as extracting glue from animal hide and a tree fungus that smolders for fucking forever when lit, but my knowledge of these is limited. I need a more thorough knowledge of how exactly the pre-agriculture hominids did these things if I want to wax poetic about it.
