Fiction is a lifelong hobby and passion but promoting it always feels like some kind of grift? I'd be writing anyway. Treating it as a commodity is weird. But this is a real book that you can own, if you want #queer #gay #punk #snark #combat and #monsters

If don't want to use the 'zon, that's legit, just dm me.

If you're interested in #emergency, #trauma or #combat #medicine spend the seven minutes to watch.

Also highlights the work of the Superhuman clinic in #Lviv, working with amputees and the importance of quick evacuations.

Speaking at McAleese Defense Programs Conference, the vice chief of space operations General Michael Guetlein said the US is preparing to develop capabilities for off-planet warfare. Space Force needs to guarantee "space superiority," over China, Russia, and other nations, he opined.

History of the #Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit #removed from #Army #website

The history of the 442nd #RegimentalCombatTeam has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.

The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the #most #decorated #combat #unit in #history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation #JapaneseAmericans.

#DnD question: In 5e (2014) D&D, how do you keep players from getting bored and disengaged in combat when it's not their turn in the initiative order?

We run a teens group and keeping them engaged and focused on what's happening when it's not their turn is a challenge. (This happens with adult players, too.) #ttrpg #initiative #combat

🃏 Now THIS is how you properly put to good use a pack of Tarot cards!

🃏 Yesterday I had the pleasure of discovering "Battle of Tarot", a game created by @denmanrooke@makertube.net (@denmanrooke@social.coop) which is a "combat game" in the style of Cuttle or even the more modern Magic: The Gathering (and other TCGs) and Star Realms (and other deck builders like it).

🃏 So I invited @paulexandru.bsky.social over and started to play. This game is very tactical and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I especially enjoyed the fact that the Trump Cards (Major Arcana, for all you divination people out there) are special spells each with its own effect.

🃏 One of the challenges when it comes to combat games that use standard packs of cards is that you have to remember or always have a list at hand with all the special abilities of all the special cards. As opposed to combat games such as Magic: The Gathering where the cards are specially created and the people creating them can list their effects on them. This is a moderate minus, but not of Battle of Tarot per se, because as stated it's a characteristic of all such combat games.

🃏 Other than that, I do still have some questions regarding some rules (I'll make a list, although the How-To-Play video provided by the designer and rules FAQ should be enough, they do a great job), but I really enjoyed this game and will definitely play it some more soon. I'm very enthusiastic about it because I love the fact that people are still looking to innovate this very old pack of cards and I hope it will soon catch up with the standard pack of cards in terms of modern games for it.

🃏 Now, Denman Rooke designed this game with a pack of Rider-Waite in mind and I think it's because of the illustrations that line up with the theme of the game. However, if you don't have a Rider-Waite pack (or a de Marseille one), I think you can safely play with a normal 78 cards Tarot deck (such as French Tarot, Tarot Nouvelle). You'll just be missing out on the eye candy.

🃏 I also enjoy the layout of the rules manual. The rules for the game are free to download from the site battleoftarot.com/ and I highly recommend for you guys to take a look.
