PondertheGoose @wondergoose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026TTRPG writing, where you can get a lot of play out of one sentence, is the inverse of scientific writing, where a lot of time goes into one sentence. Anyways, I’m looking forward to a week of experiments so I can write “this trend holds under xyz conditions” 230
