Give the people what they want. Slop work by me here, but certainly revealing. Approached this from a combination of home games, teaching TTRPGs at university, writing adventures, running @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social, play testing, conventions, basically holistic of my experiences over 35+ years.

The below filled

one page. header reads "RPG DESIGNER THEORYSLOP ALIGNMENT CHARTS & SHEET." gray text under the header reads "You have 20 points to assign to each stat array, Pendragon-style. For tri- or otherwise multi-polar arrays, express the stats as ranges, e.g. “Gamist 1–7 / Dramatist 8–9 / Simulationist 10–20.”
subheaders followed by lines for writing read: "Designer: / Project: / Link:"
subheader reads "Binary Traits," followed by a list of silly game studies paired descriptors and space to write stats: "Ludologist / Narratologist // Game-as-Activity / Game-as-Object // Proceduralist / Anti-Proceduralist // Diegetic / Endogenous // Suitsian / Non-Suitsian // Closed Lusory Goal / Open Lusory Goal // Toy-Game / Meta-Game // Character-Locked / Authorial // Problem-Solving / Story-Telling // Rulebooks / Adventures."
subheader reads "Special Twinned Binary Traits (the Bartle Zone)," followed by gray text reading "Assign 20 points to each axis, but make a single roll when testing the combined traits." following is a two-axis chart, north-south reading "Social / Non-Social" and west-east reading "Aggressive / Passive."
in the second column, a subheader reads "Multi-Polar Traits" followed by shapes with stats at their corners: triangle, "Dramatist / Gamist / Simulationist"; square, "Agon / Alea / Mimicry / Ilinx"; hexagon, "Classic / OSR / Trad / Nordic larp / Neotrad / Storygames"; square, "Gamer / Actor / Socialite / Immersive."
a subheader reads "Skills," followed by a big list of 32 skills, with space for stats next to each: Academia, Acting, Art Direction, Blog, Cartography, Copyediting, Credit Rating, Day Jon, Game Studies, Graphic Design, Illustration, Layout, Line Editing, Livestream, Marketing, Networking, Operations, Organizing, Podcast, Printing, Production, Proofreading, Shitpost, Shortform Video, Social Media, Thirst Trap, Video Essay, Web Dev, Writ. (Adventure), Writing (Lore), Writing (Rules), Other: "
gray text reads "Sam Sorensen, September 2026"

Got the first wave of #TheExpanse #RPG in. The minis look good. Lot of cool bits & the bases are really well done. Bittersweet tbh regarding the books, I'll say more in a video. #TTRPG @greenroninpub.bsky.social

YUP! On @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social we are kicking off the Laconian occupation portion of #TheExpanse. A big question the university/R&D on the planet has is will its efforts be directed by this new government/empire? They know their research in astrodynamics will be of interest.

I promise, this is the last time I’ll do this this week. But I don’t have many other options—plus, it makes me want to keep fighting, despite the collapse of the freelance landscape. On Patreon or Ko-fi, feel free to leave a tip if you enjoy my threads, ship design story, and other sci-fi antics.🖖

About where I am with it. It feels like it could be anything, but The Expanse was just available. Also heard not Belter in it, despite playing a pair of Belter twin sisters. Very weird.

Abraxas' Precipice, The Expanse RPG Actual Play @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Ditto. The Telltale game had some issues, but it worked. Good pacing, tense stuff. This felt too much like an arcade shooter. Just not feeling it.

Abraxas' Precipice, The Expanse RPG Actual Play @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

It seems like a fine game, but just shouldn't have The Expanse label on it. The spirit is gone.

Abraxas' Precipice, The Expanse RPG Actual Play @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Played it and....it is not #TheExpanse It is a Mad Lib space action adventure that grabbed a Expanse sticker book There are legit laser wielding 40K style Space Marines in Terminator armor in the game. Lots of them.

Who is the best character from The Expanse? Bobbie Draper, Chrisjen Avasarala, Amos Burton, or Camina Drummer? I change my mind every five minutes for different reasons. There are no other correct possibilities, btw. (But I'll forgive you if you say Klaes Ashford)

When I introduced you on the charity episode of @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social I said, "I like your name because it is a command." As in "Be Dave Walters." So ended up going with a command phrasing of the name of our game. Which I think is pretty cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHQI...

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

And here was the peak geekdom: playing #TheExpanse Board Game with a cast member from The Expanse. Brought my copy & got in an epic game with Jacob (UN), Donna (OPA) & Brian (MCR). I managed to pull a late victory as Protogen as our efforts to place our people in key positions went unnoticed.

Got to play in a round of #TheExpanse #RPG at @orcacon.bsky.social Good time. Thought the GM, Liz, did a great. She even recognized me from @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social One player even showed up in a Sword shirt! Excellent taste.
