    Hahaha new

    This was going on when Morocco was still francos colony. This was going under the last king of Morocco. Current king has been having his go at repressive violence in that zone for at least 10 - 15 years now. Please

    “We know that atrocities frequently occur there, but the government in Morocco does not allow officials from the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights to visit the occupied lands,”

    I am getting sick and tired and disgusted by the so called human rights oriented west conveniently forgetting about these rights as soon as any international economic pressure is put up. This is a shame, and fuck us for buying their fish and financing arms.

    Fuck us or accepting the treatment of these people, of the Palestineans, of the refugees we kick back into the ocean, of the kashmir and other Indian minorities because we need a ‘strong partner against china’, fuck us for buying Chinese shit when we know about uyghurs, fuck us for Guantanamo bay and the Iraq war and sooo much more

    Fuck anyone who uses people as a bartering chip and fuck them double if then they have the audacity to turn around and claim it is for the greater good or that they still have morals or care about human rights. Fuck us, we are so self righteous, and this is so tiring

    Tabletop Role playing Games are games set in a conversation.
    you and your friends talk, telling a story and in doing so, observing the rules et of the chosen game.

    This is different from just collaborative storytelling because, when it is doubtful wether an action might succeed, you roll dice to decide. When to roll dice will be part of your chosen set of rules.

    Dnd and many other traditional TTRPGs divide roles: one person is a Narrator (dungeon master) while each other person plays one of the protagonists (player characters). There are also games that swap role of Narrator, let you play all by yourself without one or any other constellation. Dnd is a classic game with a Narrator.

    Now, if you and your friends decide to play, you will need reference to the rules. With help of these, you can craft the player characters, and the Narrator can think of a compelling story to drop these characters into. You then talk about the fictional situation and then the players controlling the protagonists decide how their characters react to the situations the narrator lays out. When something is easily done, ie opening an unlocked door, you just say that you do it. If something is hard and success is dubious, like rappelling over a ravine, you might be called to roll a dice. While playing dnd, this will typically be a 20 sided dice, and you will typically add some modifiers based on your character.
    your result will then tell you wether that action succeeded or failed. This changes the narrative, so you take some time to describe what happens and then move on with your conversation-story.
