Last night I dreamt about being stuck in the Midwest after going out there to do work and organize. I survived floods and blizzards and still in the face of that had resigned to stay and continue the work.

That sounds really similar to the harm system in Matryoshka actually.

Like there are 7 points of harm anyone can take and as they pass certain thresholds they can receive wounds both physical and otherwise that may cause negative modifiers to subsequent rolls on certain stats or even just in general.

Like in the campaign I am in my character almost got themselves killed in a monomaniacal attempt to communicate and study a psychic entity and wound up just letting them literally live rent free in his head.

I really like the way it’s handled in Matryoshka (a homebrew variant of Powered By The Apocalypse). There is a harm mechanic and there is a lot of leeway in how the DM dishes it out both to NPCs and PCs.

I generally prefer its focus on collaborative storytelling over straight up tactics and minutia of stats and attack ranges etc.

Check out the Red Game Table podcast if you’re interested in a ttrpg that is basically cosmic horror x-files in the eastern bloc during the cold war.

I’ve only been active on Hexbear really since the cth sub got banned and we built that space, but I really like how federation has gone and the influx of new slop and occasional lost libs/chuds.

I recommend primewire.mx

I don’t know about how high the resolution goes but it has been my favorite streaming site for a while

I can make a mean stir fry. Basically anything on a grill or stovetop
