How History Is Fabricated

What is history? Is it a timeline of facts, or a story written by human authors? Why is there such certainty in created world's history if there is so much uncertainty in our own?
Here we look into the messy nature of how history is written.

Don't Read Shakespeare *

*this is a reupload with the music in the beginning restated. If you are watching this, please share it around so that we can get some traction on it. The way we teach Shakespeare defies reason. It is full of wonder, beauty, tragedy, and triumph and we destroy the potential for inspiration by shoving down kids throats the wrong way in school.

มุมมอง 7K7 หลายเดือนก่อน

Empire of the Petal Throne holds a prestigious place in the history of tabletop roleplaying games. The second game produced by TSR, and the second product published by the company, the significance is hard to overstate. However, there is a taint on the work by the secret life of the author. A secret that was hidden for over 30 years. Consultants: Sara the fat culture critic. www.youtube.com/@Sa...

Everyone is WRONG about Critical Race Theory

มุมมอง 41Kปีที่แล้ว

I've heard a lot of noise about critical race theory, but I've heard few correct takes on what it actually discusses or means. I don't want to just explain it to folks, but also provide the context for understanding where the concepts come from and how they can be applied.

Metagaming in Roleplaying Games

มุมมอง 11K2 ปีที่แล้ว

Metagaming in Roleplaying Games, like Dungeons and Dragons, is talked about in very specific and hard line terms, but most people don't realize the in depth details of it. It's always framed as an argument about whether a player knows something the character does not, but it is so much more. DnD hardliners are on all sides. I wanted to break through that and go into the nuance of metagaming as ...
