Bloggies round 3. Another day, another vote! I am sad that "[An OSR Pattern] One, Two, or Three Exits" is out. We could have had an apocalyptic battle of PATTERN vs PATTERN… www.explorersdesign.com/bloggies-2026/

Two tables, with lines showing players only talking to the GM, or players all talking to each other

Bloggies round 2 voting is today. Star-Pattern survived round 1, so now I have to fight… ORCS? No one told me I was going to have to fight orcs. www.explorersdesign.com/bloggies-2026/

If you liked my "Star-Pattern: a Pitfall of GMing" post, it's in the running for a Bloggies award (in the Theory category). The first vote ends late tonight, but it's multiple round elimination, so I get to say "vote early, vote often" with a straight face. www.explorersdesign.com/bloggies-2026/

pattern of people talking at the table, either players talking to the GM or everyone talking to each other
