How I feel getting paired against @jdragsky.bsky.social in the first round of The Bloggies:

πŸ˜‚ My kids' box of kinetic sand now lives on top of the refrigerator. I think they've finally forgotten it exists.

πŸ˜‚ I've made so many design drafts that are like, "The game is a conversation. The Referee describes a situation and the Players respond. They may roll dice." But where's the game??

I think Mythic Bastionland is onto something where the game = the setting = the content + lots of Ref guidance.

My Dream RPG In search of mechanical-narrative coherence.

Been thinking about @explorersdesign.bsky.social's recent post ("Against Dominant Mechanics") and what we can strip away to maximize the RPG experience.

Yes, there's a backhoe in this.

The new Bastionland Podcast series is so good. I was daydreaming about my own "rule of three" and thought: why not make a blogpost about it? And why not make it thing?

Thanks for saying so. A Pattern Language is one of my favorite booksβ€” this vision of what life can be. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in my OSR feed. Such a great idea.

Please do! It might be obvious, but the patterns I reference at the bottom don’t exist yet. Something for me or others to write.

@sean.tuesdayknightgames.com I’m starting a small business (non-RPG) and your early blog posts are rattling in my head (β€œDon’t wake up fucked”). Also just read Good to Great, which talks about finding your golden metric - β€œprofit per X”. Can be anything. What might X be for a tabletop publisher?

@dgchapman.bsky.social Hey DG! I emailed you a work inquiry. Not sure if it went to spam. Came from yourseveredhand@gmail.com. I'm also on Discord @Sam_Seer.
