It's interesting that video game design discourse and tabletop game design discourse rarely intersect. I know that actual designers themselves keep up, but the commentariat remain largely clueless.

GM'd some Fabula Ultima. Big fan of the metacurrency and narrative mechanics. Combat is just okay. I think I'll homebrew parts of it into Sword World 2.5.

Word on the street is Sword World is officially getting localized? Looks like I'll have to delay the campaign.

If Disney wanted to win back the Star Wars crowd, they'd rerelease the original theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy and do a Shadows of the Empire-style multimedia project at the same time. Just like SOTE did for the OT Special Editions and Prequiels.

Tabletop games that require the GM to "shoot the monk" have bad game design. It's fine in narrative-focused games and tables but awful in tactical ones.

![A digital drawing of a woman in a sci-fi outfit with a robotic arm. Her face is covered by a veil, she has a short cropped jacket, black body suit, ripped leggings with fish net underneath and wade covers over hiking boots. A small than scale silhouette of her mecha is projected in the background. In the right corner an illustration of her without a veil is shown she has pointed ears and fangs + patches that list multiple blood types.

I'm going to add dice pools to my Sword World games. Xd6 keep highest/lowest 2 for circumstances instead of flat modifiers. Rolling only 2d6 for literally everything *feels* monotonous.
