A Step Forward: My Own Domain!

[Edited 8-5-19] I figure I should edit this post for anyone still finding this old site, but I have moved a second time. My new-new website is anarchydice.wordpress.com . I found it wasn't worth the extra cost and hassle of running a dedicated site so I stepped down to a free wordpress site. All my old posts should be imported there, notwithstanding the occasional broken image or link. Sometime Friday night, I hit an astounding 10,000 views! While it may not be much, I am encouraged to keep at this blogging thing. Stepping up to the challenge, I am launching my own website, anarchydice.com . Head over there and resubscribe with that handy little 'W' button in the upper left tab. My new logo! Thank you so much for patronizing my humble blog, and I hope you found something written here valuable. There are grand plans in the works, and I feel that its time I start investing in my own domain and website. As big thank you, I'll be doing a third blog post a week on ...

House Rules Evolved: Language and Fluency

While I am waiting for this month's Mythoard and slacking off on working on my rationalist monster series, I got sidetracked. I have been thinking on a few of my houserules and the way I have been using them at the table. Let me take a whack at fleshing them out, slimming them down, and making them more fun. This post is going to go over my language and fluency hack. The Original Language and Fluency Houserule Languages are fluid, living beings that bleed into one another. We can see this everyday all throughout the world, from Portuguese conversing with Spaniards, to Japanese appropriating all manner of words. I wanted to create a system that copies this, to replace the usual system in D&D. D&D has a binary system of know-it-or-you-don't, check the box, style of fluency. This doesn't map to the differing levels of proficiency that real world people and presumably their monster counterparts would have. Other games I've played in have had complex s...

About anarchy outreach

Not too long ago I went out to lunch with a long time friend and after catching up we talked about a little philosophy. He was interested in anarchist philosophy that I had been reading but had a lot of hesitation about the idea of a society without a government. This being my first time trying to convince someone of anarchy who wasn't already predisposed to the idea, I had a good deal of trouble and it ended up being slightly awkward. I approached it in a way of trying to clear away his objections to the idea of an anarchist society one by one, but got stuck on trying to convince him how defense would work in a free society. I got flustered and did not effectively explain how a free society could provide for defense. After thinking about the approach I ended up taking, I would like to try a different tact in the future. Instead of trying to convince him directly that anarchy is the best system, I think I should have approached the problem by showing him, first of all, that go...
