There is truly nothing wrong with disagreeing on matters of taste. In fact, peacefully disagreeing on matters of taste is a vital skill in the TTRPG space, one lots of people haven't cultivated.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

I ran a really fun encounter where the bad guy was immune to all player damage because they weren't high enough level (I think I called the feature "You Are Not Prepared". They actually appreciated that I told them upfront, so they didn't waste time fighting an end-boss too early

Learning how to make a "properly balanced encounter" in a TTRPG is also how you learn how to make a horrible imbalanced encounter for... story reasons #ttrpg #rpg #tabletopsky

Yeah! It's a great time. Very flexible from the GM side of things and very intelligible from the Player side. And the cards are an excellent tool for helping to remember what you can actually do, lmao I was worried they would feel gimmicky, but honestly, they do some interesting things with them

Or even a duet system (one GM and one Player) where its designed so the two trade roles after each dungeon/heist to build on the unanswered questions left by the other. Sort of an "exquisite corpse" of game design

Monthly reminder that I am available if you need an editor. I have two big projects coming, but still plenty of free time after leaving the AI-infested job. Here are some of the TTRPGs I've worked on. I've also been editing legal books for the last 5 years.

Final spotlight of a Daggerheart frame-location pair from Hope Springs Eternal: Poisoned Roots proposes an intense, claustrophobic, political, and personal campaign where beauty and rot coexist. Travel to the Gardens for a campaign where combat and party-based adventuring will not be the focus.
