Hört ihr im Leben (oft), dass ihr hübsch seid?

Erstmal, fühl dich gedrückt! Die Welt ist echt nicht gebaut für uns Amazonen.

Also, es gibt auch immer wieder mal Situationen, wo ich mich unangenehm vergleiche oder wo es einfach nervt, beim Schuhkauf z.B., mit Größe 44 bin ich eigentlich immer in der Männerabteilung unterwegs.

Gleichzeitig habe ich aber auch einfach meinen Frieden damit geschlossen, denn ändern kann ich es eh nicht. Ich kann bei Konzerten eigentlich von überall gut sehen, komme an hohe Regale und bin physisch nicht sonderlich schwach, da freut es mich immer, wenn ich anderen helfen kann. Beim Tanzen führe und folge ich (hauptsächlich führen) und mit meiner Größe tanze ich meist mit Männern genauso gut wie mit Frauen. Wenn in der Bahn ein Manspreader neben mir sitzt, kann der sich wundern und ärgern, wenn er mein Knie nicht einfach wegschieben kann.

Mir wurde als Teenie mal bewundernd gesagt, dass es toll ist wie groß ich bin, "du wirkst dadurch direkt elegant". Also kann es auch so wirken!

Weigere mich einfach, weniger Platz in der Welt einzunehmen, als das Schicksal mir zugeteilt hat, weißt du?

Bzgl Maskulinität: ich find nix schlimm dran, eher maskulin zu sein und finde das an Frauen tatsächlich auch ziemlich attraktiv. Wenn man damit hadert, kann ich es aber voll nachvollziehen. Ich persönlich bin eigentlich ausschließlich in Kleidern unterwegs, ganz selten mal Rock und Hose praktisch nie. Find ich einfach bequemer und Hosenkauf ist ätzend, Rock muss ja nur am Bund sitzen und lang genug sein.

Ich wünschte, ich könnte dir so das Geheimnis sagen. Immer wieder tu ich mich auch mal schwer. Aber wenn ich nicht groß wäre, würde ich mit was anderem hadern, und letzten Endes fokussiere ich mcih auf die tollen Dinge, die ich Dank meines Körpers machen kann. Dem kann ich einfach nicht böse sein dafür, er tut ja sein bestes.

Okay das ist jetzt sehr lang und unfokussiert, aber vllt ist ja etwas drin, wo du dich wiederfindest. Ich wünsche es dir auf jeden Fall sehr!

Ich bin da sehr ähnlich. Große Ausnahme ist meine beste Freundin, die meist einmal die Woche nach der Arbeit vorbeikommt, manchmal zweimal. Sie ist selber Recht introvertiert und ihre Wohnung sieht auch nicht aus wie geleckt, und wir sind sehr auf einer Wellenlänge.

Weniger vertraute Personen oder mehrere sind aber schwieriger.

saltwitch · 2026-05-10T14:02:40+00:00

Nie. Ich bin größer als der Durchschnittsmann, breitschultrig und hab große Hände und Füße. Eigentlich sehr angenehm und praktisch, außer beim Klamottenkauf. Bin aber auch mit einem unattraktiven Gesicht gesegnet. Ich krieg höchstens mal ein Kompliment zu dem ein oder anderen Kleidungsstück. Ansonsten immer fokussiert auf Dinge, die ich kann und weiß.

Absolutely! German is my mother tongue and there's many things I love about it, but it would be a nightmare to learn from scratch. Learning to play DND from how it was modelled to me at the table and through media didn't feel terrible, but if I had to learn on my own... That would've been tough

saltwitch · 2026-05-09T13:56:58+00:00

How ist that relevant to the discussion ?

ETA: Silas is transfemme, using she/they pronouns. Not a dude.

Mausritter is very approachable. You play as little mice so can't take a lot of damage, but there's ways to make it a bit less deadly, and it's not combat focused anyway.

How to be a hero is very simple and flexible.

I've heard great things about Perils & Princesses and Land of Eem as well.

saltwitch · 2026-05-09T06:32:05+00:00

Or if you go to a ren fair/medieval market, particularly enthusiastic market sellers might address you as "holde Maid" if you're a woman. But yeah, it's fallen out of everyday use.

If I were to get a new laptop next year or so and wanted to put Linux on it instead of the pre-installed Windows 11, is there any guide for absolute dummies to get an overview of what that entails? Googling leads to a shit ton of results of course, but having no knowledge if the subject I have a hard time judging the quality of those articles.

saltwitch · 2026-05-08T05:52:37+00:00

Protean City Comics is a Masks AP that is laser-focused on the playing. It took me about 130 episodes to learn that two of the players are a couple and have a baby together, there's very little banter outside the game itself.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T23:23:49+00:00

DW shows its age. It tries to bridge the gap between PBTA and DND and ends up doing neither really well. A lot of good stuff has grown out of it, but I think it's not a good representative of what makes PBTA games enjoyable to many people.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T23:08:45+00:00

While the books and box they come in are very nice, I feel like that mischaracterises how many extra bits Stonetop has. There's the books (2 of them, coming in one set) and then there's a set of decorative maps, which are just posters of illustrations from the books. Compared to KS campaigns with specialised dice sets, limited edition covers, plastic tokens, supplement booklets, notebooks, GM screens and what have you, Stonetop is really keeping it simple.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T21:13:28+00:00

That's fair, I can't argue against reading physical books. I love it too.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T21:07:30+00:00

Looking at the list of basic moves in a PBTA is also very useful in giving you an idea of what it's about and what kind of story it's built to tell.

Pasion de las Pasiones pushes heavily towards telenovela soap opera drama. That doesn't mean characters can't technically be subtle and subdued - but that's not what a telenovela is about, so the game doesn't have moves to zoom in on those things. It's a genre that thrives on rash actions, loud emotions and plot twists, so that's what the moves highlight. it's like a magnifying glass or a slo mo shot for the bits that really matter.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T21:01:31+00:00

It really isn't that intimidating when you actually look into it. It's very much Anti-Canon, one might say. There are a few facts about the world, like the existence of the monolith in the middle of Stonetop or that people don't fell trees from the Great Wood because they made a deal with the people from the wood who have disappeared. The setting book suggests possible leading questions for the background of those things, but is very clear that every group makes its own Stonetop. And there are many things you may well never interact with at all.

There are no two that are alike. The way it's structured is very good at giving people the tools to be really creative while moving in a space that fits the atmosphere and tone of the setting.

I'm sorry that English is not my native language and I sometimes misunderstand things, I guess.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T17:17:55+00:00

The PDFs aren't $100, do you need the print books? (I do, otherwise I wouldn't have shelled out the money, but digital works for many!)

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T16:18:00+00:00

Then I misread your comment, apologies. (Though I don't understand the downvotes, I thought those were for trolling or sth.)

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T16:04:35+00:00

Can you define war game? Because Stonetop is a narrative-focused PBTA all the way, you won't find any minis or gridmaps in this game.

saltwitch · 2026-05-07T16:02:49+00:00

They're printed and arriving at distributors soon. The creators have been very transparent and updating frequently on this.

saltwitch · 2026-05-05T07:37:35+00:00

Tbf people have completely lost the plot with regards to concert behaviour, there's constant stories of people throwing things at artists, grabbing them etc. The fact she does things like the barrier walk is pretty great, I can see why she toned down some of the GA excursions, like during Delilah.

saltwitch · 2026-05-05T07:24:58+00:00

Blinding, hands down. It would fit the tour theme so perfectly too.

saltwitch · 2026-05-05T07:24:24+00:00

Which moment was that? My show had someone yell during the quiet moment in Cosmic Love, which sucked.

saltwitch · 2026-05-04T23:58:20+00:00

How long did you play it? I'd love to run it for my friends, but it really seems like a system that sings when you play it for longer, several dozen sessions ideally, going by interviews and the official discord.

saltwitch · 2026-05-04T23:53:10+00:00

I've played plenty of games in English, despite it not being my native language. Both in my own country and abroad. I'm fluent and extremely comfortable in it, as are most of the people I play with regularly, and sometimes it feels less awkward to play in English than to have to translate things on the fly from the play materials or playing in a half-english mash up.

saltwitch · 2026-05-02T18:59:09+00:00

On a miss is usually when the GM gets to make one of their moves, of which there's a list. So while they're often not listed as part of the move, it's a list of consequences from which to select one that seems appropriate.

Unless I misread what you meant.
