You’d think at this point I’d know the right things to say to a depressed/spiralling friend. I have been that friend often enough. Yet each time I am rendered helpless and fall back on old cliches.

The furnace breathes, the grates grasping, opening the spectrograph of self. The flowing air like a mournful ghost, the ratting gate a merging of human and atmosphere, the high pitched whine of some vibration travelling along the spine of the ductworks, like a finger running down your lover's back.

turning ideas into art, something real, just kinda sucks? but I am brand new to this. I am learning. So much easier to consume. I want to make this though. I'm afraid if I don't make this /right now/ I will change so much that I no longer want to say what I'm saying, because my life has changed.

highly recommend using stars/wishes after sex/intimacy. It's a great ritual for moving back into the mundane world, but leaves the invite open to cross the threshold another time. Plus just great communication!

what do you mean being more authentic means more people will dislike me?! I thought I would get all the benefits of more authentic connections w/o any of the downsides

I love putting together an outfit. The other day my friend said “some people are citizens of outfits world, some people have clothes.” It’s a good reminder that not everyone wants to optimize for that. It’s something that brings me joy, and that’s all that needs to be.

love this idea. This could also interact nicely with a person shaped hole, if the powerful character takes a narrative exit or dies. How will the remaining characters try to fill their shoes? www.mindstormpress.com/a-person-sha...

This is a really interesting take. I’d love to see what type of game design can make people more comfortable with wielding power, and how that feeds back to IRL spaces. I remember seeing a solarpunk game about characters “remembering” the deeds of their ancestors for how they solved complex issues.

Stonetop makes this choice explicit, with characters being tied back to the home village. Seeing how my players respond to high power magic items is something i’m looking forward to

Reflecting on my experience running an open-table megadungeon (from a module!), pursuing quantity over quality, might’ve not been the best for TTRPGs as an art? Does everything need to be artful? Then again, megagames can be art, and I didn’t do enough to frame the why. youtu.be/cNbnef_eXBM?...

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts.

City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

I’m wondering how to run an open table for Draw Steel. In some ways I’d need to OSR-ify my prep to decouple encounters from PCs. I think the design might clash also between pushing with Victories vs. heading back to a central point at the end of the session.

...absolutely incredible. Here's what Medieval Bologna would have looked like when all its towers were intact. Florence didn't have so many but did have dozens, so the richest part of the city center would have looked much like this. Much to the despair of the city fire brigade! 11/?

Photo of a model of Bologna, with so many earthy pink tall skinny towers sticking up from every block of the terra-cotta-roofed town that it looks like plant seeds starting to come up in spring. Around the edge you can see the city's moat and battlemented walls, looking tiny compared to the towers which rise to six or seven times the height of the three-story buildings around them.

Getting into Draw Steel, I’m reminded of the ways design goals for battlemaps differ subtly from dungeon design. I’m wondering how my time in the OSR will inform encounter design for DS.
