Exploring other #TTRPG's
I'm not normally a fan of "no knock" warrants, but now I'm thinking a few of them might just be the gift we need this Holiday Season.

I'd suggest starting at a big, white house currently occupied by a known felon.

Join MCG at 2026 conventions!

We have a great slate of conventions lined up for 2026, and demand for MCG games at these events is super high—we run hundreds of games every year, and virtually all of them sell out.

We’d love to have you GM with us!

How about Clone Wars / Rebels but between Episodes IV and V?

Though I'd rather explore other time periods and characters at this point, there could be some cool stories to tell there.

Might be time to move from Firefox to a new browser since their doubling down on A.I.

I just want to access the internet. I don't want to be tracked and packaged up for sale. I don't want A.I. help, I've been doing this on my own for a while now, I'm good.

Why is this so hard? Wait, let me gue$$.

Why the fuck did I just have to enter my date of birth in order to access Bluesky via the app?

The Braves sign Bichette, he grows his hair out and has a career year, Olson hits 50+ HR, Acuña goes 40/40, everyone else kills it, and the Braves win the World Series.

Book it, done.

No D&D until next year, but I won't stop prepping! 😎

Instead of incessantly whining about something, try making a change.

This message brought to you by conversations I'm overhearing at work.

Remember that episode in Andor where the evil Empire used a sniper to shoot their own troops at a protest in order to start a conflict and "justified" a massacre on Ghorman?

I'm glad that would never happen in real life...

Yearly reminder that retail workers are human beings trying to get through the hardest part of the year at work. The Christmas season is hell to work through in retail.

So, please, show them respect and kindness.

If you look at old Dragon magazine letter columns and forums people have been debating the value of "crunch" for decades. That debate has for the most part been about "play styles", and people on either side of the divide treated complexity as a playstyle preference.

You like what you like
I don’t know if it’s just me taking final form as old guy but there does seem to be a trend to make things as easy as possible at the expense of everything else.

An old blog post on a topic near and dear to me - complexity in TTRPGs.

IMO too many people disparage games for complexity, they are missing out

One thing I'm learning today is that all of the letters characters find with incriminating evidence about the bad guys and their secret plans and organizations is apparently completely plausable, including signing them and using plain language! Who knew?!

The Mystara Gazetteers were something special. Each book took a nation from the Known World and made it breathe, maps, politics, history, culture, even holidays. They turned the setting from a backdrop into a living world. #DnD #Mystara #OSR #RPG
