D6 random manuscript encounters: 1️⃣Uh-oh! You need a pull table here 2️⃣Time to make a style decision (Roll again on punctuation table, PG XX) 3️⃣Past you: [WRITE SOMETHING COOL HERE] 4️⃣You Shift Keyed Too Close To the Sun 5️⃣This bit just rocks, actually 6️⃣You have entered the "holy fuck" zone. Good luck
A comment by me, reading: Uh oh! You've created the need for another pull table or two (Or a list that invites the GM to consider these questions during the other steps).

Of all the game OSTs I listen to while I work, Hollow Knight and Silksong feature the most often appearances. Sometimes it's nice to imagine I'm just chillin' with Quirrel in the City of Tears and writing while he broods.

Structuring your rulebook is functionally indistinguishable from structuring units and lessons as a teacher. Challenging your own implicit biases (Your knowledge of your game and TTRPGs/games in general) is essential to creating an accessible player experience in your game.

Bri and I wrote a little game called Missives from the Void for people to play in exchange for a free sticker and it's been the most charming thing in the world. A group of 3 children played it with us and watching them scavenger hunt for interesting items was the cutest thing I've seen all month
The cover of missives from the void, a scavenger hunt game about discarded itemsThe instructions for missives from the void, in which you tell stories about discarded objects in your vicinity at a market or convention. An interior space in the games pamphlet layout to draw and write

a photo of Lucas with his eyes closed and a black shirt with white text reading "SEPT 21". Lucas's left hand is held up making a fist as he solemnly remembers. A photo of Emily wearing a white shirt with black sharpie text in her handwriting reading "21st September" across the chest. Her left hand is raised above her head in a fist and she is smiling with her head cocked and eyes closed, embracing the celebration of the 21st.

back when @lucaszellers.bsky.social and I were house mates we would often get "September" by EW&F stuck in each other's heads and it would bug Lucas's partner so much that she banned us from singing it on any day that wasn't September 21st and so we made it a house holiday Happy 21st of September!!
