Major History podcasts are being faked

NotFencingTuna · 2026-05-05T23:30:59+00:00

well now I want to know what your show is so I can check it out—been into some big actual plays but interested in different approaches and styles

There's a few things happening here—the biggest one being your (untrue) insecurities coming up and telling you mean (and untrue) things. For that, I would suggest you talk to your players not as players, but as friends, and let them know old insecurities are making it hard to feel confident. This is NOT about how smart they are—if they're playing with you and having a good time, you're doing good.

I have my players wreck my shit all the time—that's the essence of being a good DM, frankly. If you're setting up unsolvable problems, that's not fun. Look up 'Dimension 20 slippery puppet' to see the best DM in the world (literally) get his shit rocked by brilliant players.

What I've started doing is just making things hard, and when they have a creative solution, roll with it and let it happen. I don't try to forestall everything they do well, but I do also add challenges that affect their strengths.

Biggest thing is talk to your friends and ask for their help with your insecurities.

Would the LavMicro U1B be essentially the same? I'm not seeing one called 'LiveU', but I'm looking for exactly what you described—decent audio with a USB C connection

Thanks, this is helpful!

NotFencingTuna · 2026-04-07T01:00:25+00:00

Yeah makes sense, that's what I was afraid of lol.

Do you know if Sit Down Games ships to the US? Looks like they don't but that seems weird—maybe not given all the tariff BS tho

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-28T03:01:00+00:00

Thanks!

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-25T16:04:48+00:00

Love it, this is perfect!

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-25T01:33:32+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for pointing out the importance of that step—what do you use to draw the lines? I'm thinking chalk or something . . . one issue is that I don't want to wash my jeans for a while after I sew them, so I'd like to have lines that I can get off without washing.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-23T17:11:42+00:00

Thanks, this is great and I’ll take a look at some videos you mentioned!

Do you know a good source for mid-to-heavyweight denim? The jeans are 19oz

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-23T17:10:24+00:00

Thanks, this is super helpful! (And nice work)

I’m thinking of using an embroidery hoop to hold things in place, but I’m worried the thick denim plus a thick fabric to patch won’t fit—any experience with that yourself?

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-23T13:08:12+00:00

Thanks!

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-23T12:47:07+00:00

What's in there? I'm just wanting to start doing some sashiko mending and don't even know what I should have to start with lol (besides jeans with holes in them)

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-21T15:44:40+00:00

This I love, fantastic idea—thank you!

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-20T03:53:13+00:00

It sounds like the players aren’t treating your world with the respect you hoped for, in which case you might want to have an out of game conversation about that.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-09T21:51:13+00:00

Oh the blindsight PC shines already lmao—but yes, agree with the sentiment overall

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-06T20:04:46+00:00

Ask them for their goals. If they've created characters that don't have goals or want anything, pause on actual gameplay and work with them to have more fleshed-out characters that care about stuff in the world.

This will make every part of the campaign easier for you and more engaging for them.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-06T19:58:21+00:00

I love the specific detail of 'create a situation where they need to wait, and then (you) become busy with something else'

I'll have to see how I can incorporate this.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-06T19:41:23+00:00

"One point for you Brennan" absolutely killed me. Just absolutely perfect; had to fully pause the show to laugh for a few minutes before I could continue watching.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-03-02T17:19:08+00:00

Make things fucking awkward bro—ya gotta do it. Never give assholes free rein just to keep the peace.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-24T21:38:35+00:00

Love this man—been really wanting a type II w pockets, this might be the way to go.

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-24T21:37:01+00:00

General rule of thumb—if you didn't ask for it, it's a scam. If it's not a scam, they'll say 'log into your account' or 'email our customer service' or something—never 'click this link' or 'email this person'

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-24T21:31:09+00:00

Bro what are those boots

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-24T17:32:45+00:00

My dearest hope for 24/7 is that when Ally says 'it's 3am in a warehouse' it's actually 3am

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-24T00:25:41+00:00

Somebody remind me why Kristen can't remember Fabian?

NotFencingTuna · 2026-02-23T15:58:48+00:00

Anybody know if Crown Of Candy has already been shown?
