sucks when you're watching a ttrpg youtuber who has genuinely useful advice, but is so consistently, needlessly mean and condescending about it--not played up as part of a character, just radiating 'do it this way you stupid fucking idiot 🙄' at the screen--that you stop watching anyway

ttrpg idea: in a game that revolves around murder mysteries in a small town or similar, have a playbook that's oriented toward charisma, respectability, getting things done through connections and small talk, etc But. when their stress track fills up they start enacting Random Violence

short version of my opinion re: ttrpg incentives discourse is a previously expressed opinion of mine, which is that a lot of games/supplements feel like *leavings* of a creative process while advertising themselves as a tool to *enable* creativity, and it is Extremely Frustrating

ttrpg idea: game set in a final fantasy style world where each of the PCs is on a journey to become a summoner for One Very Specific Godlike Being each. what actually happens when they succeed is up in the air
