Good time for an intro!
I write ABOUT #ttrpg at Cannibal Halfling Gaming:

And I write games myself - it's statistically likely that there will be a giant robot involved, but it's not *always* the case:

I've been banging the drum about this Solo TTRPG bundle I'm in for selfish reasons. But as we get into the final days I wanted to spotlight a few games from some of my Bundlemates (is...that a thing?) to share the love.
You can find them all here. Let's ride! 🧵

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I coped with not being at Unplugged pretty well, I think. Mandelbrot Set arriving on Friday was particularly fortuitous.

If any one topic is ‘the core’ of this System Hack, this would be it. Base building is the underlying gameplay loop of RimWorld and it is also a topic du jour in RPG circles, with the (admittedly poorly detailed) stronghold building from the D&D days of yore coming back into focus as more gamers want broader storyline opportunities. For our purposes, of course, if we’re making a colony sim we need to make a colony.
