I got to 'Q' in my game which feels like an accomplishment. I'm refactoring the code to make it more organized since the first pass was just a quick and dirty version. Then I'll be adding a backend component to keep track of best overall scores and best overall words (for now). Then I'll start adding features and game modes. Battle of Words

I also brought up the game on my phone and was surprised that it worked pretty well. I haven't spend any time at all trying to make it work with a phone. Kudos to the people behind the React Material-UI library.

If you want to play a command line version of solitaire for some reason you can get one here:

Posting my answer to a "what would you do?" question about Vampire the Masquerade because doing so on the official forum might get me banned:

I'd burn my character sheet. The storyteller having NPCs throw middle school hissyfits over who pays too much attention to whom sounds like a strong indication of a dreadful game, whether said NPC is actually a millennia-old puppet master or merely a garden variety supernatural predator that someone is telling bold-faced lies about. She faces a nightly battle to control the beast within and drink only what she needs from her prey rather than leaving a trail of bodies, but her big concern is if Charity thinks Belladonna Horowitz is cool and wants to hang out with her? Pass.

Ha!

Man, I haven't played anything WoD in ages. I think they've released several different rulesets since the last time I played (It was Revised edition, I think?)

Vampire is two editions past that now, I think most everything else is at the 20th Anniversary edition stage (4th for the main three lines, 3rd for the others).

I pretty much jumped ship when they blew up the old WoD and introduced new games with new systems and metaplot. I remember them deciding all Mages were from Atlantis or some craziness like that and never bothered buying any of the books after that.

One of these days I'll get around to running the 1999-set Mage chronicle where the villain is trying to use all the End of the Millennium hysteria to try to usher in the actual Apocalypse.

I'd stopped playing due to gaming group diaspora by the time Revised rolled out, but I kept following the books until that New World of Darkness revamp. No bueno.

The most recent version of V:tM is a trash fire in terms of mechanics AND content. They leaned heavy into the edgelord aspects.

Oof. I remember it being edgelordy enough, back in the day. It seemed like there were 9 Sabbat players for every Camarilla.

I also remember the few people who did play Camarilla were always Toreadors or Malkavians (who were always cartoon crazy).
