HEY! Guess what day is today? It’s our birthday day! Exactly two years ago, the #Nonbinary Wiki (or its current version, anyway) was born. And we are so proud of what the project has achieved!

Two years ago, in 2017, someone asked on Reddit if somebody knew what had happened to the old Nonbinary.org Wiki. Apparently, it had been down for some days, but, fortunately, the Wayback Machine had a partial copy of its pages. And so, the new wiki was born, hosted on Miraheze.

I want to play against someone who might beat me...

something that's really annoying is that I spent years in chess club.

And I always felt like I wasn't very good at chess, because I was one of the worst at it.

But now, I rarely meet anyone who is anywhere near as good at chess as me, and on the occassion where someone asks to play chess with me, I almost always win decisively and they almost always feel bad about losing.

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | Bernice Summerfield

I was a bit worried after listening to Oh No It Isn't!... I wondered if buying these dramas was a mistake.

But the second one turned out to be good, and I hope the rest are good too...

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | Bernice Summerfield

I've now listened to the first 2 dramas.

[ Oh No It Isn't! ] — I didn't like it much... it''s centred around Bernice falling into a world of pantomime, which means it's very silly and not very sci-fi.

[ Beyond the Sun ] — really good! I loved the characters, and I loved the explorations into the different worldviews they had.

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | nazis

I wish the cover of Just War had less nazi symbols on it.
In the story, they're unambiguously the bad guys (from everything I know about it), but....

it's still really weird to buy a product that literally has nazi stuff right on the front of it.

recommendations for other tabletop Story Games

My first suggestion is to try out other games in general! D&D is really complex which makes it seem like it would be a lot of effort to learn another one, but that's often not the case.

Dungeon World is a good choice — it's D&D, but it's more flexible and less complex.

If you want something different, here are some favourites of mine:
* Apocalypse World
* FATE
* Fiasco
* Hillfolk
* Hobospy
* Lady Blackbird
* Microscope

controversial opinion about popular Tabletop RPG

Thinking again about how much I dislike D&D

Not because it's a bad game, but because I think a lot of people who would othwerwise absolutely love Story Games are introduced to D&D first, and are put off by the fact that it gets in the way of telling stories more than it helps
