I earnestly think that the greatest actual representation of the dark side being more convenient but not more powerful comes from the #FantasyFlight Star wars #ttrpg - on the Force Die, more of the sides had Dark Side pips, but most of the Light Side pips had doubles.
One thing I found to be a really nice touch in the #FantasyFlight #StarWars #TTRPG was that the Force Die had an equal number of Light and Dark pips, but the Dark pips were spread across more faces, while the Light pips came in greater quantities. It really gave a mechanical expression to the idea that the Dark Side was quicker and easier, but not more powerful.
Anyone ever played Legacy of Dragonholt? Just borrowed it from our local library and don't know anything about it other than it has a 7 rating on #BoardGameGeek

We finally got Unfathomable by Fantasy Flight Games to the table with a friend we trust to mask consistently.
I liked it, but think I need to play it again to have a better sense of what actions to take at what times. Still, I always enjoy defeating creatures from the Cthulhu mythos with friends. 
Officially halfway through Descent: Legends of the Dark. Don't sleep on this game. It is so good. #Descent #Boardgames #FantasyFlight
I dug the Dungeonquest board game out of the dusty stacks of discarded games over at the family house. It has many issues, chief among those a senseless, overly complex combat resolution system.
Nico and I used to play it a decade ago.
We both agreed now was a good time to play it again, for shits and giggles.
It is in pristine condition.
Hi, I'm Tod, and I do #research at @runZeroInc. I also do #infosec stuff for fun at @AustinHackers. If I had to pick some focus areas of what I'm into, nerd-wise:
Teaching people how #hacking and #networking and #protocol analysis works
Coordinated #vulnerability disclosure
Counting things on networks
Election and voting systems
Medical systems and other exotic OT/IoT stacks
Open source offensive security tooling (like #Metasploit)
For non-tech things:
I have a wife with whom I enjoy a very #sexy attorney-client relationship.
I have a bunch of kids. Some of those kids are now adults. One of them is no longer an alive adult, and that sucks. For the rest, I am constantly trying to educate my kids in #GenX culture, and I lean on them to keep up with #Zoomer things.
I care about politics and social issues and liberal democracy and harm reduction and diversity of experience and equality of opportunity. Some of these cares are radical. Many are hypocritical. But, we all contain multitudes, after all.
I used to be a fed at #CISA (not a cop, not a regulator, not a spy, just a researcher). It was super dope. Unfortunately, feds in 2025 are going through A Thing. Be nice to your fed scientist pals, they do a lot of good work and don't get a lot of credit or money for it.
I live in #Austin, #Texas. I spend as much time at the #AlamoDrafthouse as I can, responsibly -- I like craft beer and craft movies.
I perform, edit, and publish a #podcast with said attorney wife about #Lovecraft fiction which you can hear at https://podsothoth.club or follow at @podsothoth.
I play a lot of Lovecraft-themed games, mostly #FantasyFlight (Arkham Horror & Eldritch Horror, and also Call of #Cthulhu #RPG). I ran a tabletop #VTM game with some friends over pandemic lockdown, and it was fun. I've been involved in #TTRPGs and complicated #boardgames, off and on, for well over 30 years.
Oddly, I don't care about most video games. That is, except for the few I care a lot about (#Nethack, #Civilization, and #Portal).
That's it! That's my deal!
I love #boardgames and #ttrpg. I started playing #roleplayinggames when I was a kid with my older brother and have been running games for over 25 years at this point. My entry point wasn't #DnD like most people, but the old DC Heroes boxset, Marvel FASERIP, and #palladium TMNT. I also played a lot of #HERO system and #mutantsandmasterminds. Now I prefer #fatecore , #icons and other light narrative focused games. I'm currently playing in a fully remote #fantasyflight #StarWars game.
