i've been enjoying seeing people's [community profile] snowflake_challenge posts and i actually have stuff i wanna post for this day!

friends at the table is an actual play table top rpg podcast about critical worldbuilding, smart characterisation and fun interaction between good friends AND IT'S GREAT. i wrote a manifesto, pls read it and listen to the podcast (or check out their episode transcripts, which are currently incomplete but the work is ongoing).

here is a snippet where they talk about a main character from their COUNTER/weight arc, ibex, whom i love.

idk, man. i love friends at the table, and this bit captures a lot of why? it's slower-paced than, like, the adventure zone for example, but because they spend so much time on worldbuilding and character development and talk back and forth about what they want the story to be. and the worldbuilding is so good, and the characters are incredible, bizarre, fully-realised people.

also it's queer as all fuck, both casually and intentionally, and i love it. any time something happens and you're like "oh, that's kinda gay"? it is. it's always gay.

austin (the GM): it ended up driving things in a major way. remember, ibex is a seductress, on paper.

keith (a good boy): yeah!

austin: that is the unit type ibex was in stars without number. it was me going, "oh shit, how do i make a move for this faction this turn. okay, what if there's this cool guy, what if he goes 'i'm a fisher...man. i'm jesus. i'm space jesus.' let me do space communist jesus." and like, that ended up being a major character, it turns out.


i love austin walker with my whole entire heart. speaking of, here is a soundboard somebody made with thirty Things He Has Said, including, in tones of delight, "who's that big man?" and his classic heartfelt "aw, buddy". even if you have no idea who this man is, it will delight you.
