"I could never." "And yet we must."

Not that it's easy in the first place but it has been making sleeping on the streets more anxiety-inducing given I also have breathing/congestion issues in the first place. And seeing how few people are wearing masks (which they should be doing regardless) is WILD.

So this was also my first thought, it should be noted that Jiavani and Erika are both non-binary/gender non-conforming! Mostly because I know you'll appreciate it. Also we should watch the old Paranoia game show Ally hosted some time

this rhyming scheme and tempo is all kinds of fucked and I am here for it 😭

There is a tendency for elitism in the space due to historical context created by the fascism that is etiquette & class-division, it is the worst portion of a thing I am otherwise a stark defender of and passionate lover towards. BUT You literally need every person equally to make this shit work!!

My love for orchestras/concert-bands is immeasurable if only, IF ONLY for how they are impossibly beautiful, wordless representations of how large numbers of otherwise seemingly disparate individuals can not only collaborate but cooperate for the betterment of all. EVERY part important & necessary.

The cannons aren't even the best part but they're a perfect hook and excellent payoff for all that tension building while matching the intended motif. The bell tower too!! May be one of the dorkiest posts I've ever written and not at all what anyone follows me for lmao probs my fave performance:

Matt is one of the loveliest to chat with who will bully you into respecting yourself if necessary and it's why I respect them

I'd love to see more design approaches in the "diceless" / deterministic field that aren't Token-based, usually Belonging Outside Belonging games. Noting against those games but the design space could definitely use more variance (heh) in this particular way and is aching for weird innovation.

There's barely even a training sequence from the Tune Squad and it fucking rules!! They know what you came to see and took the most obvious route of getting there without devaluing the characters or performances. Also they basically explain NOTHING, a side effect of cartoons that I hold dear.

Oh and when I am not suffering from the ceaseless wave of distress caused by being houseless, unemployed, and actively harassed by shitty people I help organize teaching lessons over at Titterpig.academy and sometimes appear in Actual Play shows (typically for charity)

Yo I'm a dick-equipped dyke (trans/girlflux lesbian) that makes weird-ass TTRPGs and related materials including a system-forward blog, compact adventures, and an contemporesque quasi-setting issued out via modular micro-RPGs You can find all my stuff under ImaginationSimulations on itch!

comment in response to post
Do all you care about is a sequence of fictional events communicated to you in a straightforward fashion Because that's what it feels like and if so, dear god please stop having opinions on art.
comment in response to post

If you think Texas is universally bad then you have no idea how many Texans are very much not the privileged image you have built up in your mind based on a stereotype. That's why a hate crime happened there. It couldn't have happened if the victims themselves were not also Texans.

I actually REALLY love the idea of paying writers a (seemingly) more than fair wage to get wider exposure to lesser-known indie RPGs! I can also hold in my head the seemingly contradictory concern of gross business practices possibly tainting it. Wouldn't want one my games being used as a store ad
comment in response to post
Fun is also super abstract and generalized. I think play is rapidly approaching that placement as well and it is sorta losing all value of an actual word's purpose, not evolving but trying to be all-encompassing. I find game design rewarding! I would never compare it to actually playing a game.

Thanks bud! You are as well :D

except me. I actually was born this amazing and perfect.

I feel like if anyone our mutual bud @highgainsad.bsky.social would be behind organizing this 👀
