Just ask yourself a question from time to time: Why is he doing what he is doing the way he is doing it?

My main problem is that it is hard to predict my schedule. I just had a depression episode, and for the last 10 days, nothing happened. Now I have to first do the overdue work for my other job, and only then can I get back to full-speed work on Spellgarden. It is frustrating.

I'm used to posting some ideas on my FB space and talking to people for days about them, but I don't see it here, even for the most popular designers.
I think I will first publish QS rules or at least an adventure, and then see if anybody is interested in it.

but only with two teenage groups (one being my children 😉), so an opinion of an adult and game designer would be invaluable!

I'm afraid it is still very much a work in progress. I can send you the current version if You are curious, but it is a docx without formatting or art, and some rules are not explained properly. Just pm me your email, I would be happy to send it to You. Right now, I'm doing some playtesting with it,

Maybe experiences vary. I got almost no engagement here when I post rules or ideas, very different from places like Reddit or Facebook in the past. Maybe people are generally not interested in the things I'm making right now. But I got in contact with some excellent artists and writers here.

I took as much other burden from her as I could. Just two months ago, I started taking pills for #ADHD, and suddenly I can hoover, clean, and sort my papers. Before that, for 15 years, I tried to just do as much as I could.

If she has #ADHD I don't know if there is a simple solution. If not, it takes time to change oneself, but you need to talk with her that this is a dealbreaker for you.
Honest communication is most important here. I was not able to change, so I started to do other things:shopping, cooking, childcare.

I was a person like that because of my #ADHD. I can ask my wife if You want, but not sure what the problem is? cleanliness? Smell? Are all the papers and important things put on flat surfaces all over the place? A lot of cardboard boxes with things?

No, I'm in Poland. Great work! And I love the layout, too.

It looks great! What format is it? A5? I was considering Colossus Wake some time ago, but posting is expensive. Maybe when I buy more than one, it will feel less prohibitive. 🙂

Interesting. I have a real problem finding a creative answer to a question, "what the undead spell looks like and how it behaves" for the Spellgarden RPG. Maybe I could find some inspiration inside?

I'm afraid it does not work that way. Have a nice day.

It objectively is ethnic cleansing and war crimes - and it is genocide by intent. It not yet happened, but the intent of Netanjahu and other far right politicians is already in the open. If you want to compare it to Germany - it is still 1941.

Look, I worked for the fundation that was collecting evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. I know what to look for. Scientists researching genocide studies had different opinions a year ago, but today they unanimously say it is genocide. Even Israelis like Raz Segal or Shmuel Lederman.

It was Israeli government that told about blockading Gaza from food, electricity, medicaments and water.
It was Israeli politicians that told in their parliament that all Palestinians need to be killed, including children.
comment in response to
post
And they are filming and posting those videos themselves, so you cannot even say it is "Palestinian propaganda".
It was Israeli soldiers that told about torture and rape of prisoners of war and civilians in Israeli prisons.
comment in response to
post
We are not talking about that. We are talking about Israeli soldiers joyfully destroying fine china, furniture, cloths (including female underwear), burning books, toys, houses while dancing, singing and blowing up schools and other buildings. I assure you that no female underwear is a weapon.

Maybe just misinformed. There is plenty of false statements about this conflict on the internet. No reason to be rude.
comment in response to
post
Look, even civilian property is protected: "Reprisals against protected persons and their property is prohibited" - and we have thousands of videos on tik tok posted by Israeli soldiers how they pillage and destroy private and public property of Palestinian civilians, water sources and homes.

Yeah, they would be scared to death how many "brown genes" they have...

And Sicily was Islamic country before it was Italian ;-) I know. That is why this argument is so silly.
comment in response to

Both Arabs and European Jews are Semites. Specifically, genetics shows that most European Jewish men are Semites, not necessarily Jewish women (at lest from Europe). Many Palestinians have similar genetics to Jews, they could be descendants of Jews converted to Islam or Christianity.

Again, this is not true. First - Palestinians did not use hospitals as military bases, not even Americans working there confirm this. Second, even if they were full of soldiers, they are still protected as any military hospital. It can only be shot a returning fire when you try to enter it.

Please, don't bring "ancient Israel" myth. It is like saying that half the UK and Spain should be given to Italians because once Romans lived there. Or Southern Poland to French because archeology confirms there were Celts living there.
It is idiotic argument.
comment in response to
post
Again, You cannot bomb a hospital. First war conventions were specifically made to protect field hospitals, prisoners and the wounded. The only case you can attack hospital is when soldiers want to enter it and there is fire from inside. And they still need to protect the personnel and the patients.

Almost all Israeli Presidents were either emigrants from Europe or children of emigrants from Europe. Even now many Israelis do not like "brown Jews" from Ethiopia and Middle East...
comment in response to
post
Of course they are. Medics are always protected, children are always protected, wounded in hospitals are always protected, prisoners of war are always protected, even soldiers without weapons are protected. Read the convention.
comment in response to

Of course it does. Ask any international lawyer, that is the basics. You cannot starve 2 million people because you pretend to fight 10000. You cannot bomb hospitals even if there are combatants there. You cannot even bomb MILITARY hospitals, where everybody could be in theory "a combatant".

Israel is not Ancient, it was established in 1948. Check your history books.

Israel is seeking war, not peace. Right now it is seeking war with Iran and it is doing it openly, even trying to pull USA into it.
You also should decide if it is war or anti terrorist operation, because you can do even LESS killing when it is anti terrorist operation.
comment in response to
post
Of course it is. Medics are even protected ON THE BATTLEFIELD, not only behind the front lines. This is why Americans were so mad that Japanese were targeting medics and ambulances during WW2.
IDF behave like Japanese during WW2 here. It cannot be defended.

Blockage of food distribution, destruction of hospitals, crop fields, orchards and other sources of food and water is strictly forbidden as a means of war by Geneva conventions and Israeli government admitted officially of doing those things.
They are war criminal by their own words.
comment in response to
post
Also obvious breakage of Fourth Geneva Convention, including targeting of hospitals, medics, water sources, using starvation as a means of war, torture of captives, collective penalties, pillage - all of this we know from ISRAELI sources, not Hamas. Including government own information.
