@SandyofCthulhu I think I detect some bias. Ravenloft was Gothic Horror. It was so successful because the setting overwhelmed the mechanics and made it an actual horror experience rather than a gold/treasure grind. It actually pulled you *out* of the D&D part and into itself.

Sandy Petersen 🪔@SandyofCthulhu·
I see Ravenloft as a huge success. It was such a really unusual campaign setting. In conversations with GMs what I hear is that people steal cities or adventures or ideas from Al-Qadim or Forgotten Realms or Dark Sun and insert them into their homebrew. But they play Ravenloft fully. Yeah, it’s easier to make Call of Cthulhu scary than D&D but that’s not really Ravenloft’s fault. The things that hinder D&D cf. Call of Cthulhu - with reference to scariness only - are threefold. 1) D&D’s jargon throws you out of the game more. Experience points, levels, saving throws aren’t bad in themselves but they make you think about the game system instead of the world. Call of Cthulhu might say “check your Sanity” but that’s not as distancing as “make your Wisdom saving throws CR 14”. IMO. 2) D&D has a wide assortment of unnatural things on the side of good. Magic items, spells, good-aligned monsters. In Call of Cthulhu if you see magic, it’s ominous. Magic items = cursed items. Spooky and sinister. 3) Call of Cthulhu’s setting is easier to imagine yourself in. It’s more like the real world. This lets the players slide mentally into the campaign more smoothly. None of this makes Ravenloft bad. And for sure there’s mucho overlap between the scariest Ravenloft adventure and a moderate Call of Cthulhu one. But if your goal is “horror adventures” as opposed to “heroic adventures in a horrific setting”, then Call of Cthulhu is worth a shot.

What do you think, @SandyofCthulhu? Why was Call of Cthulhu better than Ravenloft?

Man posts in local Facebook group, moving to area. Asks which Catholic parishes have thriving community, would be best for single man to attend- “is successful + seeking wife soon” + same faith is priority. Entire comment section berating him. “Church isn’t for dating!”

@its_The_Dr I once thought of many options for this, but as I got older it's clear there were only 2 worth consideration Islam and Marxism. Given population it seems Islam would be the way to go. But without Marxism, the West could have shrugged of the Islamic wave with ease. Marxism 100%

@redeemed_zoomer @wokal_distance She was the cover for an evil attempted dictatorship. The OG Karen. Cruel, shallow, determined to force those weaker to bow. AKA, a modern lefty.

I'm watching the Harry potter movies with my son, and I can't express to you the degree to which this woman is the perfect embodiment of the spirit which has infected our culture.

Senator Mike Lee confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Thune CAN cancel recess & the Senate can continue working with a simple majority quorum if democrats choose to go on paid vacation for Easter. This is huge!

@Jellenne I said months ago that if these whining women had to show their birth certificate to win a free stanley cup, they'd have it.

I suspect that if you had to prove citizenship to win a car or a fancy trip magically it could be done. Even if you just got married, moved states, were overseas for years, and had to order a copy of your birth certificate. People would make that happen.

3x Trump Voter here. I was shocked by the president’s comments on Robert Mueller’s passing. I will not be voting for him in 2028.
