I didn't get it until I actually learned who Hassan even is. It's a good joke OP, dunno why you're getting downvoted.

Congrats on the wedding

Always glad to see your new comic, lvoe your series.

I heard Tolkien regretted making Orcs inherently evil and was thinking of replacing that with something else, but I cannot find which letter was that in.

I wish it was true that this is only "people who only play D&D" problem but I have also seen those argument with people who participate in rpg online communities or forums where they know and play other games. I've seen videos whining about orcs come from same channel with something like a 100 reviews of various different rpgs. Sadly I do not think this is only people who only play D&D who are the problem here.

not many modules for Mage, we did session of character awakenings and early interactions.

Maybe one day, let's see how well Mage chronicle goes.

My first Vampire character was a Malkavian inspired by Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium. He once horriffied entire Elysium, Prince included, by just picking up a cigarette and a lighter and taking a smoke to calm down

The image doesn't load for me.

What do you mean it can Excomunicate? Are mechs in lancer ordained and this is mecha pope?

Ah yes, devs can have huge range :)

I watched a review that made it sound like it's 5e based and only halfway through I realized reviewer just calls every "d20+ modifier" system "D&D-lite".

Tryign to take Caine is not Dark Fate, it's "Nature suffers fools briefly".

I played two PbtA games but neither was Apocalypse World. Which is weird sicne I ehard it holds up and has no controversies, unlike Dungeon World.

I sure did not learn anything about ttrpg development or even what cool indie games I could support from following them, because all they do is complain about D&D. If you are D&D hate blog a) jsut say so instead of pretending to be something else and b) you are a D&D blog. Being defined by hatred of the thing is still being defined by the thing.

they tried with Pillowfort and it crashed and burned

Is that better? I think referencing three terms very relevant to the setting and ones most people will likely hear if they ehard about the game, one of which partially shares name with the game, will clue most people.

Correct. Rich Africans are Ngoma, because their current plan to uplift Africa is to push as many Ngoma Mages and African Sleepers into science and bussiness.

That was about Knights of the Temple of Solomon a.k.a. Knight Templars. Which in Mage are actual Christian Mages. They were fired from technocracy for, according to them, criticising the corruption within organization. According to technocracy they were fired for the Crusades. The truth is likely both.

This is literally lore of RPG Mage: the Ascension. What did you think it was about?
