iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

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.

Interesting that I only value that external validation. What if I listened to future me coming back in time to save present me?

Trying to crack an egg is the closest you can get to going back in time to save yourself

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 also had a Hamilton phase in 2016, but it feels very weird to see all these girlies on dating apps who still make it their whole personality

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.

A simple framework for forging bonds between your characters.

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...

A Person-Shaped Hole

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

A dream of mine is to do a public art project with chalk, like the “Good Luck Spot” art piece. It’d be great to have more spaces where that kind of public artistic expression is encouraged.

I’m having a little trouble envisioning how to use this mechanically? I guess it’s more qualitative that instead of a reaction the individual has maybe heard of the PCs, or in case of a blank entry has not heard of them. But I’m not sure how that interfaces is with the reaction roll.

What sorts of projects bring you joy? Are there ways you can take that back into your everyday work? I’m trying to answer these questions for myself too.

I've got about $5800 to go before I can get my diabetic care back. If you want to help literally SAVE MY LIFE, and you like my articles, please share them around in the hopes people will tip me for my articles. I actually need more than that but that's when I can get started.

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?...

Decided today I’m gonna run my first ever (parlour) LARP in about 3 weeks! Stoked! Anyone know good tips for how a GM can get involved in play while still running the game?
