Do you like TTRPGs? Do you hate the simpering weakness of the bootlickers at the NY Times? ME TOO! Why not send the $ they DO NOT deserve my way?
For an extra $5 you can even pick a theme (Desert) or element (Assassins) for my next blog of usable #TTRPG material for your table! #OSR

Hey, you should read this. Not just my TTRPG folks, but literally anyone who enjoys reading should read this.
It's not too long, but it packs a punch & ought to give you something to think about. This is one I'll definitely be coming back to.

As a writer in English writing about non-Anglo things, I personally avoid glossarising.
A glossary is another hurdle; added mental load. Authenticity lives in how well you communicate the shape of the world, not how extensive your terminology is.

Working on my final #TTRPG blog post of the year, going into fine details on my 2024 writing metrics 🎲
Suffice to say, I more than doubled my follower count, published much more, wrote far more words than I had thought, & was paid far less. In fact, I only had 46% the paid clients I had in 2023 😕
