If you interested in my #RPGSEA tabletop adventure game, Dimawari, then here's a tease. I also talk about why I removed initiative rolls in it.

Originally wanted to release playtest in January but instead chose to blog and tease the details first.

I put more work into this than anyone in their right mind would, and I blame/credit the good folks at @rangedtouch.bsky.social for putting the thought into my head.

A closeup of Bilbo’s face as the Bag End doorbell rings loudly. View from the front door of Bag End, two dwarves are standing on the stoop announcing themselves “Bifur and Bofur, at your service master hobbit”. Medium closeup of a perplexed Bilbo, his thoughts so scattered all he can stammer out is “Bofur??” Bofur responds “Yes, Mr Baggins…” Bofur doing a crotch chop yelling “BOFUR DEEZ NUTS”
