I feel better that it's going to take like another week or so for me to actually take the physical copies of my Kickstarter to the post office

People were writing blog posts about names like two weeks ago, so I wrote one of my own This is mostly about the random name generators I made and the thought process behind them. seedlinggames.com/blogging/wor...

now that I think about it, I play both OSR and story games, and both have been similarly deadly unless the game explicitly doesn't have character death (I haven't actually played that much Mothership, I do tend to play more Cairn-type games though)

what should I use to host a wiki It will be small, visible on the internet, have a relatively small number of editors I would be willing to pay a small amount of money to have it be ad free I would prefer it not to be a ton of work to do

I am never doing a map like this ever again though (Quote this post with an old piece that you still like)
A map of a mountain in a vague ski map sort of way with shading done by density of trees, drawn as vertical lines

One big effect that being part of online ttrpg communities has had on me is running much fewer games, because I started worrying if I was doing a good enough job, something I never worried about when it was just me and some friends and some books, and it became a little stressful

I've played TTRPGs for a lot longer but I've been talking about them online and occasionally publishing things since 2020. It's been long enough to see people come and go but not nearly as long as some people. I've never been terribly successful but I have been around.

I made a website for converting CSVs into tables! (kinda) I was getting annoyed trying to import 810 rows into Affinity and figured this would have been more worth the time and effort instead. Use case is mostly for tables that are ungodly long. deer.stream/CSV2Tables/

I find the concept of playtesting something makes me very anxious and so I have to like trick myself into playtesting it. I have to write stuff up and tell myself I'll never publish it and then run it like a normal adventure.

a dark tunnel of brick, surrounded by foliage. a man emerges from the shadow, running away from the viewpoint.a tunnel formed of tree branches, many leafless a wooden post with a sculpted eye and brow upon it. behind that, plants and a wooden beam.a railway bridge, with plentiful ivy and interior staining.
