Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

ttrpg look much more like a toy then a game: you can play with it the way you want, can change the rules and don’t necessarily have to win!

“Well, well! I heard Ahab mutter, ‘Here someone thrusts these cards into these old hands of mine; swears I must play them, and no others.’ And damn me Ahab, but thou actest right; live in the game, and die in it!” -- Moby Dick, Herman Melville.

Metaphors. Some people say 'simple RPGs are better' with a quote from like, a sculptor. That's fine if you want an RPG like a sculpture. RPGs are also like vehicles. I like sports cars. I'll have bucket seats, massive engines, radios, leather interior, the whole deal. I don't want a pogo stick.

Here's how it works. For me. --- 1. Buy a new game. 2. Let's write some backstory on a little corner of this universe. 3. Whole new setting emerges. 4. Want to use it in other games, carve out mechanics, make it system-agnostic.

Awesome to see some CoC adventures from my neck of the woods. Oregon is such an untapped mill of creepy weirdness, and no, I'm not talking about sasquatch, though that's one small part.

Working on a thing for a setting. Mecha pilots are like knights, right? So who would be the patron saints of mecha pilots? I'm thinking a couple saints is probably OK. "The Chivalric Order of Armored Cavalry of St. Blah and St. Blah." A mouthful, but it sounds dumb enough to be genuine.

Gee, I wonder why neighbors in Salem freaked out about the proposed datacenter and brought a guillotine to a meeting. Maybe it's because it could make existing water problems much worse. www.salemreporter.com/2026/08/05/v... Even thinking about this was a boneheaded move by city council.

Once a month my gaming group has a booze and bad movie night. Everyone gets a chance to choose a movie in turn. Lately we have themes. First it was "mummies" (I was saved because we decided that hopping vampires count). This time around it's superheroes.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

* Fellowship of the Mood Ring What groovy things do your elf eyes see, baby. * Fellowship of the Ring World I think adding Puppeteers and Kzinti to the party may have been a bad idea. * Fellow Ship of the Ring Mordor might want to watch out if the Interesting Times Gang gets involved.

Got a good idea for a better introductory adventure for MELD. On the one hand, I want to write more lady villains. Equal opportunity evil. At the same time, "Weird creepy dude who gets obsessive evil about thing no one else is" feels so right and natural. I mean, * gestures vaguely all around *

A writer wakes up in the middle of the night gripped, possessed. The idea haunts them, they have to write it down. True creativity is a bolt from the blue, we're the conduit. No creative person will ever wake up in the night thinking, "I just thought of a really good prompt." NEVER

My dad used to substitute teach. I never talked to my parents about RPG publishing, and growing up, they didn't understand RPGs and weren't too supportive or impressed with 'em. A kid came to Dad and asked if he was related to the author. He came to me and asked. They were proud, which was nice. :)

Unfollowing, as well as blocking and muting, hold absolutely no moral values; being unfollowed/blocked/muted does not mean you did or say anything bad or wrong Equally, anyone who use these tools should not be demonized for curating their online space, regardless of the reason

AI is not inevitable. AI is not necessarily "the future." It's not going away, but it need not be ubiquitous. Imagine a future where datacenters are abandoned like malls and office buildings, where we struggle to find a use for these decaying structures, relics of a bygone time.

Google+. The game design community there was superb. There was drama, but on the whole, great. And no, it was not a ghost town. It was a bustling town center mall. So of course Google killed it. Right now Discord comes close, but not the same.

Inarguably my favorite part of writing adventures is naming NPCs. Meet your new Starfleet fleet commander, Admiral Ribbentropp Zimbardo. No, he won't turn evil like the last one, why would you even ask that?
