We only had two conflicts in the town and neither of these escalated above talking. I think this was a reflection of my choice to create and run a very low sin/low supernatural town. Initiation conflicts worked fine. One player went blazing into a homestead with bad guys. Two talked their way...

Let's narrow the scope of this thread/discussion down to the specific blog post linked in OP. Happy to clarify/elaborate on the session we played and the town I created for the session (Willards Fork). Especially, let's not discuss play preferences in general in this thread. I added Vincent's...

But totally fair if you/God45 don’t want to play games that investigate such questions. If you are playing D&D murder hobos and the DM after a brutal fight asks, “what do you do with the orc children now that you have killed their parents?” then the DM is breaking the contract. You should...

A vague understanding is sufficient. The point of the game is that you place the players in a situation where the doctrine does not give a clear answer so you will have to apply your own judgment regardless.

Vincent's own words on why he pulled it from publication: "I pulled it from publication years ago because, in its small way, it whitewashes the genocide that my great-great-grandparents helped commit. The more I learned about it, I couldn't participate." He also posted this: "I don't really...

This weekend I ran a session of Dogs in the Vineyard with @mrund and three from his network. It was fun to revisit this old classic. It's still a great game. Nobody died! https://thoughtfuldane.com/2025/08/26/willards-fork-revisiting-dogs/

Endnu et eksempel på hvor vigtige en mølle kunne være og hermed også en eventyrside: I Rudkøbing på Langeland i Danmark var der risiko for hungersnød efter fire uger med vindstille da folk ikke kunne male korn til mel til deres rugbrød.

Just returned from Gdansk, I have to add that a water mill can be huge and of great economic and political importance to the city. From https://medievalheritage.eu/en/main-page/heritage/poland/gdansk-medieval-mills/ : "The Great Mill was built by the Teutonic Knights around the mid-14th century...

Today about playing Dragonbane with my kids. https://thoughtfuldane.com/2025/07/31/into-the-misty-vale/

Happy to take a look if it’s in English and with a reasonable page count.

Play Beyond Play +++ Man kan hitta Mohjang på Södermalm en liten promenad från Gamla Stan. Även om det inte går att komma in kan det vara skoj för barn som gillar Minecraft. Historiska har ibland aktiviteter för barn (vikingespel)

I scenariet Rollespilsweekend i Tranås (af undertegnede) optræder en alien ved navn Ea-Tee med slående lighed med Swedish Chef. Ea-Tee vil gerne have hjælp med at ringe hjem. En af naboerne er den ældre kvinde Bibbi. Hun har orange fletninger og bor i en villa med en masse skrammel i forhaven.
