https://video.sadmin.io/videos/watch/4dca197b-2c0a-4aea-accb-42811488c5a0 This week: aliases that actually work, why unreal media (Scanner Darkly, StarCraft) survives scrutiny better than “realistic” films, Ghostbusters’ public non-reaction problem, and the tiny anachronisms that shatter immersion. Campaign drama: Elite Banana’s exit, killing vs. antagonist conversion. Running racial/crime material without the usual dance. Modeling NPCs as ~70% self-interest plus smaller doses of race, faith, and ideology. Chaosium’s Shub-Niggurath rename as magical thinking. Paizo’s DriveThruRPG dump and the White Wolf death spiral from real publishing into expensive POD. Long practical digression on AI force multipliers for niche media (sprite pipelines via image→3D→Blender, local voice cloning for radio drama). Then the mechanics fight between IDDQD and Gaymers: Nat 20 auto-success cargo cult vs. dice pools, teenage rules-lawyer war stories that somehow became canon, and why rigid “roll on the money table” systems kill the point of playing a thief.
