Chekhov’s Boltgun.
Is that anything?
It sounds like a GM-less, 40k-inspired, micro-story game that should exist, but I don’t think I’m the one to write it.

Were I a musician, I would create a more modern medley of holiday songs, such as:
-Wax-Fucked Menorah
-I Hate Dreidel (“I’m A Chocolate Coin Socialist”)
-A New Haggadah (“This Nationalist Narrative Is Making Us Uncomfortable”)
-I Don’t Remember The Prayer For Wine (“But I’m Drinking Anyway”)

Related to conversations about fantasy adventure and colonialism: one thing that is very interesting about D&D's medievalism is that its default geography -- frontiers, large areas of wilderness, etc. -- is not particularly what medieval W. Europe was like.

You owe it to yourself to read through the entire thread.
The whole idea of needing faceless mooks to slaughter in a "Ghibli-inspired" game is, of course, completely stupid, since questioning the value of violence and conceiving of adventure heroes who don't just gun down hordes of foes is part of the whole Miyazaki ... deal.

Citation is encouragement. Every time somebody else acknowledges me this way, I feel like the work is worthwhile.
Citation is introspection. You are marking your trajectory, the ports you have called at, as a maker.
