Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed

Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away

No other language but its own

Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield personifies resistance as a villainous creature that drains the life out of your motivation to start and finish work. It’s a must read for anyone who has ever struggled with it.

Personally I would expect sections like this to be very dry, no theme, all mechanics. These are things you might want to reference while playing and if I have to interpret while playing it’s drag.

How to play Dwarven Dice
How to play Dwarven Dice YouTube video by Nick Culpin

Rough cut video on how to play Dwarven Dice, a game I made about 5-6 years ago. Prototype from the game crafter.

Dwarven Dice is a player versus player, set collection game for 3-5 players that plays in about 30min.

You have a new product and have verified market fit. Sign ups begin, a dozen a week, provide a credit card, add their team, use it a few days, and then crickets. Total drop off. You call them, no issues with service. What do you do?
