The Iliad rules actually

[personal profile] sparklywalls 2021-06-10 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I read it in my teens and have only read parts of it since. Same with The Odyssey, where I used a couple of sections of that for my undergraduate thesis.

I don't think I could do either in one whole go again because it's not exactly like reading a book in the sense we're used to.

I love the Iliad, though the Odyssey is my favorite. Actually, I love all the ancient epic poems. The Aeneid is great, Gilgamesh is fascinating, and the Ramayana is really fun. And Beowulf is awesome, though that one is Medieval, not ancient.

Did the Catalog of Ships kill your momentum? 'Cause it did mine.

I never got to read that! I only got the Classics of Ancient Greek Literature in college (maybe we touched on Antigone in high school once? The rest were mythology in middle school and half of that was of my own vvolition/Xena the WB show lol).

The Odyssey was...I skimmed it. But The Epic of Gilgamesh I LOVE. I can't explain why liked that one so much. I like to recite the opening/ending lines as I commute to work and look over my city/neighborhood lol.

I had to read this for a class and thought it was super boring.

I read the Bible in church when I was bored with the sermon so I could criticize the preacher in my head, so I was acclimated to digression, rhetorical devices, and epic structure by the time I got to greek epic.

For some reason I can't do lord of the rings tho, and it bothers me since epic structure is what he studied and taught and derived his story from.

[Extreme Meatpunks Forever, Dream Askew]

Transcript by OP

[personal profile] fscom 2021-06-10 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I get pretty annoyed by these kinds of games because I feel like they make 'queer' into an aesthetic or a subculture when to me, queer should just be an identity. The way they write about queer people feels alienating and puts me off entirely.

I say this as someone who loves TTRPGs, is queer and who has identified as queer for years -- the kinds of 'queer communities' and 'queers' these settings cater to simply doesn't include people like me, or a lot of my acquaintances and friends.

It's a secret because Jesus H. Christ, I do NOT want to start wank or get involved with the 'queer TTRPG fandom' that... I guess, as a queer TTRPG fan, I'm not actually a part of, apparently.

I have no idea about Extreme Meatpunks Forever, but I can definitely second Dream Askew turning me off. It was multiple things that threw me off, it's hard to really say what exactly. But I'm a relatively introverted person and pretty damn ace, and I guess that level of extroverted sexuality (with fetish gear listed as one of the recommended options for character creation) didn't resound with me. It's okay if fetish as a gender identity rather than just being something that you're into on the side is your thing, but it's not something I'm familiar with in IRL communities.

Also as an aside, how does one play a story without combat? I'm not really used to the concept of sitting down and having a TTRPG session without dice rolls like Dream Askew had.

There's such a low barrier to entry for TTRPGs as opposed to video games and movies and such that I'm happy for choice. 95% of it isn't for me but I'm glad people have plenty of options.

But also there isn't a game out that really ties itself to any of my identities (that I've seen) so I can't relate to that specific annoyance. And it is annoying when something is *supposed* to be for you but *isn't*.

I kept reading this as "This never changes my mind about my taxes" and didn't get it.

Anyway, stand by your takes, OP!

I've never actually seen this show, but just from this image, he does give me the vibes of someone who would really appreciate a cooked meal like that and thank you for it.

I hope someone writes a fic for you like this.

Best or most interesting worldbuilding

[personal profile] philstar22 2021-06-10 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Inspired by the Star Wars lore videos I've been watching on Youtube lately. What media do you think has the best or most interesting worldbuilding. Use whatever criteria you want. Just tell us about media that has worldbuilding you think works really well.
