I'm running an RPG club this year at my school. My plan is to take on a small group, train them to run their own games, then open up the club to more people. It's impossible to do this without imparting my own take on what good GMing or facilitating is.

Different context, but even in elementary school I'm struggling with this. Even harder when I see other teachers using AI for different things in the classroom, or getting students to use it. So many missed learning opportunities. Sends a mixed message about expectations around AI use as well.

Grasping for a bland, soul-sucking corporate health care name for a project and they are all taken. Commcare, Dignitas, Aurora Health, Honor Health, Decision Health, all names I came up with and thought "that sounds sufficiently bad" and all are real.

Thanks for the shout @itsquinns.bsky.social! “Should be the first solo TTRPG you buy after Thousand Year Old Vampire” — floored!!
The first is 2023's Project ECCO by Elliot Davis, which I find super thrilling and rewarding. I think it should be the first solo TTRPG you buy after Thousand Year Old Vampire. It's a time travel game you play in a DAY PLANNER! What a phenomenal idea.
