It's actually kind of striking how tightly wedded most major genres of tabletop RPGs are to the decades when they were popularised.

Trad fantasy tabletop RPGs – even those that aren't positioned as revivalist – are so intent on emulating the sword and sorcery literature of the 1970s that the only reason they don't come off as quaintly nostalgic is because nobody reads sword and sorcery anymore.

Cyberpunk tabletop RPGs are, at this point, essentially an exercise in retrofuturism, endlessly polishing a vision of what people in the 1980s thought the year 2015 would look like.

Urban fantasy tabletop RPGs might include smartphones and electric cars in their equipment tables and mention 9/11 in their lore chapters, but culturally and aesthetically, most of them are taking place in a world where the 1990s never ended.

I don't mean this as a criticism – I'm just fascinated with how this tendency is so strong that, for example, a brand new urban fantasy RPG written in the year 2024 is liable to end up being a 1990s period piece at heart even when that was 100% not the author's intention, simply through the inertia of the medium's well-established tropes.

I'm mostly curious what the characteristic tabletop RPG genre of the 2020s is going to end up being thirty or forty years from now, and I hope I live long enough to find out!

Things I Loved About Fleabag (2016):

The careful balance of spiralling and sincerity that keeps you rooting for resolution and relief, despite the show intentionally framing itself around grief

The way that it is clear based on the way that they talk about her that Fleabag is a great deal like her mother (her off-colour jokes, her charisma, even hints of difficult friendships through the Godmother) but they don't have anyone make that comparison until the last episode of S2, with, "You are the way you are because of [your mother]" and the look of surprise on Fleabag's face when she hears it

"Don't make me an optimist; you will ruin my life," being such a telling line, because as you fall in love with the Priest, and Fleabag, you want to believe that things will work themselves out

The love in Claire's line to Fleabag, "The only person I'd run through an airport for is you," and the delightful contrary optimism of her deciding to go to the airport anyway

The revelation that Boo had offered to take Fleabag's love for her mother, intertwining both losses

The way that the Priest not only breaks through the carefully constructed narrative relationship that Fleabag has with the viewer, but also himself directly looks toward the audience on a separate beat as he tries to understand her more ("You don't like answering questions, do you?")

The entire sequence of the last few scenes, "Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope," to "I love you." "It'll pass," to Fleabag walking around with a statue that is, in some ways now, a physical representation of the love she is carrying around. Because while the show is about grief, and love, it doesn't feel like it is asking you to overcome those things, but to learn to live with them while moving forward

the OTHER relationship I want to know about is Rune's dad and mom tbh. lady justice has a million lovers lady priestess has a million children everyone in this fucking island is acting like rabbits in heat and then there's late Lord Sun. he had ONE partner as far as we know and That's It. never remarried, never even tried to have more than one possible heir. barely told his son about her. does Rune even know what his own mom looks like? do you think he ever wonders if he got his eyes, his nose from her? her mannerisms? something, anything to tie her to him that isn't a single cameo necklace?

my hunch is that when Rune eventually goes into that damn tower we keep being reminded about we'll know but I like to speculate in the meantime. in my head either a) dadsun did genuinely love her and her death destroyed him to the point he isolated himself and embraced the weakness of both lacking possible alliances and having only one heir rather than marry again, or b) Some Suspicious Shit went down with her death/She Did Said Suspicious Shit before dying and he was wary of letting someone occupy a position as close as his private life/court as a spouse

or alternatively, c) he's ashamed because he in some way did her SO wrong it made THIS look like a playfight

Sonic in the games is how an 8yo sees a 15yo, and Sonic in the movie series is how a 38yo sees a 15yo. Correct?
