SOTM 2026 - TV Studio - Bienvenue / Welcome
This week: aliases that actually work, why unreal media (Scanner Darkly, StarCraft) survives scrutiny better than “realistic” films, Ghostbusters’ public non-reaction problem, and the tiny anachronisms that shatter immersion. Campaign drama: Elite Banana’s exit, killing vs. antagonist conversion. Running racial/crime material without the usual dance. Modeling NPCs as ~70% self-interest plus smaller doses of race, faith, and ideology. Chaosium’s Shub-Niggurath rename as magical thinking. Paizo’s DriveThruRPG dump and the White Wolf death spiral from real publishing into expensive POD. Long practical digression on AI force multipliers for niche media (sprite pipelines via image→3D→Blender, local voice cloning for radio drama). Then the mechanics fight between IDDQD and Gaymers: Nat 20 auto-success cargo cult vs. dice pools, teenage rules-lawyer war stories that somehow became canon, and why rigid “roll on the money table” systems kill the point of playing a thief.

This week, we discuss Hyperborea News, an LLM agent that scrapes 4chan/X for edgy alt articles—sparks talk on AI journalism, board culture, and schizo-gnoticer style (Grok delivers). Then deep RPG dive: matching systems to player choices, older D&D/VTM depth vs modern slop, Critical Role critiques, DIY homebrew, mixing old settings with better engines, and the anti-fragile hobby.
