  • “Mental health support” is largely a way for people who are damaged by capitalism and fascism to simply cope with capitalism and fascism. I have personally benefitted greatly from therapy and anti-depressants, it’s saved my life. But it’s only brought me to the stage where I recognize I have to fight capitalism to be happy, rather than living under capitalism.

    The goal of these institutions is to get workers back to work instead of killing themselves and others or more seriously questioning their environment. Beyond that, it alienates people from communities. Instead of talking with your friends and family and neighbors and strangers about your mental health, you pay someone to listen to you. These institutions break down communities by making mental health a commodity, sold by therapists and bought by people struggling under capitalism.


  • Sounds interesting, but yeah bloat is another thing I’m worried about. Combat already grinds everything to a halt when you have to roll dice and add modifiers and check ACs and DCs and change HP and keep track of spell slots.

    Deadlands has a similar system where you can declare a multi-action at the start of the turn, and take penalties to each action you do. Seems like an interesting concept, but if it just amounts to a player missing twice in one turn instead of once, then it doesn’t add much.

    That’s another big problem I have a with combat, a failed roll just does nothing. You miss, try again next round. It’s boring for the DM and so frustrating for the player.
