I see that Draw Steel is crowdfunding for 2026, & they are having backer-only polls. As someone who decided not to back, it is interesting that my opinion isn't being sought. Only those that already have bought in have opinions that matter. Seems like not the way to go to broaden your base. #ttrpg

MASH disappearing off streaming at this point in history is like its own bad omen

YEET'S 2026 BINGO CARD! Follow along all year!
I see all these 2026 gaming goals posts, and wow are they exciting. Me? I'm lucky if I get to play:
● more than 1 RPG a year,
● something other than D&D or a D&D clone,
● more than biweekly,
● as a player instead of the GM.
2026? All I want is some joy in my hobby.

Doing map completion for the 3rd time in Guild Wars 2. Current progress is 62%.
Done with Ascalon. I like some of the zones, but the starter zones there are large and desolate at times.

If you’re naming me in the same breath as TTRPG studies then you should be following and listening to and citing Professor Torner who has done more for analog game infrastructure than any one person can comprehend. (Any number of us shine from reflecting Evan’s light)
Indeed. The purchaseable *product* we call the TTRPG begins in the 1970s with Western Gunfight, Chainmail, and D&D.
Yet role-playing "parlor games," simulations, and similar are centuries old and draw from a well that resembles all the positive stuff about D&D.
Parlor games were feminized...

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Hey #TTRPG GMs. I have an idea for a Victorian horror fantasy game, like Shadowrun meets Call of Cthulhu with a splash of steampunk. More pulp than gritty. What RPG system would you use to run that?
I already know about Cypher and FATE. Looking for other suggestions.
