Gah. I've just visited a #SecondWorldWar group on Facebook, and the first two posts I saw were wrong.
One had a photo of a Sturmtiger claiming it was a Maus.
The other mentioned the Victoria Cross. It correctly mentioned that only one person won the VC twice during the war, but then listed how many VCs were awarded by country, and missed out New Zealand. Charles Upham, the man who won it twice, was a New Zealander.
#TTRPG memory
Our eldest had a 13th birthday during the pandemic lockdowns. So we organised an online #DoctorWho RPG for him and some friends.
They played Torchwood operatives, and at the start this woman appeared. She gave them some information, warned them not to harm the creature ("I know what you Torchwood people are like!"), then disappeared.
It was some minutes later that they realised they'd had a call with The Doctor. Their reactions were fantastic :)
@xankarn@worldwarshistory@histodons I can't wrap my head around the idea that any history is "done" and should no longer be talked about or studied 🤷♀️
Some time ago, I read a story about a GM running a pre-written #TTRPG adventure. This GM decided to tweak the adventure as written, by gender swapping every NPC. His (exclusively male) players found it odd that they only met one man. As the game went on, they became increasingly paranoid that the women were doing something to the men.
@AimeeMaroux@ttrpg others have commented that they set gender randomly. I think that's a good idea if you don't want to track like I do.
I've heard of men in other scenarios complain that women are over-represented when the proportion is a lot less than half 🙄 Sounds like your friend fell victim to that.
