  • My interpretation was that setting the soundtrack is a minor tone choise, you’re still going through the movie the GM has made for you. But if the GM is willing, the players may ignore or demolish all the plot points turning the planned Ocean’s 11 to Fast and Furious, or Taken, or Top Gun, or Armageddon except the PCs are the meteorite. Or skip the whole movie and make up their own stage play musical set on the next town over.

    EDIT: Everything devolving to Benny Hill still applies, unless there is an actual agreement of the tone everyone should try and uphold.


  • The GM has the power to present a heist, but unless the GM is really railroady, the players have the power to make it a ransom, a demolition job or just ignore everything and join the circus.

    One shots, like the few Mörk Borg ones I have recently played, have a higher chance of people doing what the scenario expects, but when a character is given a trait that they only eat named things, the player starts asking and collecting every NPCs name.


  • For the search you need to know the instance someone is on, I have had the issue of knowing someone is using mastodon or compatible service and even their username, but not the inatance they’re on because I don’t know them personally.

    The one largeish local instance that shut down recently had the covenant in the server description, until one day it wasn’t and the server shut down in a month.

    Switching servers leaves a lot behind. You can only force your followers to be switched to the new account and export and reimport your own follows. But everything you had posted gets left behind. You can download the whole archive for yourself, but can not currently republish it from the new account.

    Still it’s the best social media I have used this far and am expecting it became garbage in a few years now that it is getting popular, because they always do. But let’s have fun while it lasts.
