I am currently reading Cryptomancer, a game with crystals to do kind of Internet things.

I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.

Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.

A free extract from the official core book of the RPG:

The Domestic is an introductory scenario designed for one player, based on Ben Aaronovitch’s short story of the same name. Choose to play as a magic-wielding police officer, nurse, or social worker in a game set in the world of Ben Aaronovitch’s hugely successful Rivers of London series.

Armed with this book, a pencil, and some roleplaying dice, you are ready to take on your first case for the Folly. No GM needed!

Depending on the context, I go full in:

Yes, nothing to hide and you are not the only one. Assurance companies have observed that people who masturbate are healthier. And based on your surf, you don't. So you have to pay more.

Now what do you want to do? Masturbate to pay less or ?

At least it's a different packaging, not owned by Hasbro, and it shows that something else exists.

Please an RPG not DnD. Try to break free from this monoculture.

I knew it! Feet are not real! Nobody is using such unit in real life!

Given that the average phone has 35 apps installed, keeping your phone private could soon cost around € 8,815 a year.

Nice argument they found.

I find this article more complex than it should. For me the logic is more basic:

You want to ban encryption? So no https so no banking online.

I am currently researching some oracles for new game. I know the Muses & Oracles but it's a French one. And I can't find the equivalent in English.

So on a larger question: Which Oracle would you recommend?

This is a new add-on for Vaesen. Did anybody bought it already?

I am really curious to know if this is the start of a recognition of a market niche of solo players.

And you trust the ower of the establishment, of the softwares, of the Internet, and the bank to not steal your data. Right. I wish you to be correctly assured. At least by your bank.

And don't forget, in case of data breach, change your palm.

Someone took the novel "The Java Script Café" from "Stealing the network: How to own an identity" (page 141) and made a business model for it.
