Why not just make it possible for people to live their lives the way they live it? feed all the kids at school a hot nutritious lunch even if their daddy rich and their momma good looking. Let everybody go to the doctor free at point of use because wealth taxes cover it. budget so the bus is free.

I lost a dear friend and colleague this year, Sue.
She was a wonderful human, a real force of nature. She was my “work mum” & she used to pick leaves out of my hair and look after me 🥲
I am helping to raise money for The Christie Charity, who looked after Sue💘

The official publication date is still next Tuesday, but there’s a good explanation for the ebook being out earlier, which I’ve now forgotten. Anyway, it’s e-available now.

I can totally see how being Jonathan Gullis can be challenging. Take breathing and walking at the same time, for example...

Also, you meet with your friends. You play a.acenario/campaign. You use the rules from the book or you homebrew your own. How's that 'ruined' by what other people are doing?
