iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Went out for a walk at dusk this evening, met some bats and some cows and saw this cool fucking cloud. Life can be beautiful.

A cloud moving across a clear dusk sky, the last of the light glancing off its underside, framed by the silhouettes of trees.

Currently thinking about my creative work up until now because actually the drive to be a one-person cottage industry that's expected to go toe to toe with the big guys in terms of content and production quality is all big one act of self-harm. And yet this often feels like the norm in indie TTRPGs.

"Agarthan Chud" would be a banger name for one of those pseudo-esoteric mail order magazines where a bunch of washed-up academics do a racism but magickal.

Sincerely, I think the future of CRPGs belongs to the indies. You got games like Banquet for Fools, Space Wreck, Avernum, Skald etc all iterating on the formula in really fun and novel ways. BG3 has sat in my Steam library for years, and every time I try to go back to my brain instantly checks out.

The culture you foster at the table and how you carry yourself around your friends is far more important than the design of the game you are playing.

Watching a Marathon stream to pass the time in my hotel room, and it's kind of incredible how quickly the PVP-bros seem to have deserted the game, and in their place, the alt-girls, lore nerds and grunglers have taken over, as is the way of all Bungie games.

In Perth today while my far better half runs an ultra across the Ochils, found a shop called Tabletop Barbershop and it is indeed a place where you can both get a haircut and beard-trim and ALSO buy some Warhammer. Incredible.

Hate to say it, but given it's typical for TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns to make many times their initial goal, plus usually a degree of patience and understanding from the community re delays, I'm kind of surprised there haven't been more rugpulls from hucksters like this. We're marks for this shit.

Personally I think if you're going to do a Frank Frazetta tribute painting, you should be prepared to render a squat middle-aged but toned man's ass in the most exquisite detail possible. This was imo an important part of Frazetta's artistic range.

Right, so, 3 countries can say "might have to call time on the UK lads" and get told to fuck off, but some English village full of racists gets the "we hear you 🙏" statement?

Delivering the result, Susannah Parden, vice chair of the parish council said: "We are Piddington the village that roars."

Following the result, council chair Tim McNally said: "This is an example of democracy in operation.

"We went into this village hall as the underdogs - we had a plucky idea.

"We have given a message to the world."

Responding to the village saying it had "roared", Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told BBC Breakfast: "I think they have – we have heard it, we are listening.

"I do really understand that when changes are made that affect your community it can be very distressing.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

You should check out my wildly historically inaccurate prehistoric adventure game! It’s called Year 100 Million B.C. and you can grab it for free here, rules are published under Creative Commons. I’m also secretly working on expanding the free edition with a little starting adventure.
