Well said... Thanks for spelling it out!

Help me find a book series like The Witcher or Assassin's Appentice, I need to forget this world right now! Go to town with recommendations! in c/chat@beehaw.org

The Malazan book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson would be my recommendation. Start from Gardens of the Moon and go ahead... It keeps getting better and better!

Same for me. I have been reading Linus (Torvalds) posts since decades and it really seemed out of character to me. I even clicked on the link but I admit that I haven't yet understood what is going on. I have decided that it's not for me...

What is an "Analogue pocket" for those of us ... Out of the loop?

There is an optional Ocr pass, from what I understand

One wonders how they market their services : "come to us, we are the best fake reviewers you can find on the web and these 5-star reviews prove it!"

Is this a fine place to talk about table top RPGs? (beehaw.org)
 

Hello! I hope I am not off topic, this is literally my first day here (ok, maybe I should wait and know the community a bit better but I 'll try to be slightly bolder...if it's not ok just let me know). I understand that by choice there are no super focused communities to avoid an excessive fragmentation. So I wonder: is this the good place to discuss about tabletop RPGs? Coop/solo modes, too.

I am thinking about Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, Gurps, Fate, ... And not only the usual super famous one!

I am a long time GM and sometimes player, both IRL and online, and currently I am playing a lot in solo mode (with the help of the mythic GM emulator).
