"Will you defend the queen?"
"I am as certain as certain can be," he said.
"Are you willing to bet your copy of _For the Queen_ on that?" they asked.
"Um, gosh, well," he felt hot and cold all at once.

You know how hyperbolic this is, yes? This sounds like the game-content-per-page faux objectivity during the time of the first OGL. How do you, Quinns, determine how long an RPG *should have been?* What do you think publishers get for making books longer? Seriously curious.

Quinns' wit, there, might not be worth the effects this'll have against games that *want* to be other sizes (and the people who make them). It reads like a wink that'll launch a hundred ships. Yet: Reading books is okay, actually, and RPGs are happily made in many sizes, which is great.

Not all RPGs are good at the same things, in the same ways, for the same purposes. Describe your experiences with a game, from product to play. Go ahead and make it about you. Rate it only when absolutely necessary. Rankings are tired, weak technology. We can do better. #TTRPG

The games you love? Celebrate them. Spend your words and your hours on the art you appreciate—spend less of those on the art that doesn't do it for you. Here's a game about it: Celebrate games without using the words "best" or "worst." Each celebration is worth 100pts. Each best/worst is –50pts.

Substituting market factors, sales numbers, publication scale, and similar product-based metrics are distinctly less relevant to RPGs where sales have highly limited relationships to participation and personal impact, anyway. Just as "box office" is novel trivia to have for cinephiles, e.g.

We simply do not have visibility and understanding of what is happening at so many game tables, involving so many different games. More profoundly, how do you measure the impact of a game on the participants? On what scale is "artistic impact" measured? What other media are measured thus?

This show, and the people who make it, are so good at what they do that we are intimidated by it and would not have it any other way. Mighty thanks and high fives to all the humans who have made Party of One what it is: Wondrous.

The Resurrectionists?

Heck yeah, Oz!

How much to find out how we'll live?

Adventurers, like us, believe a better world is possible. If, first, we imagine it.

We are so excited to see this new work in action next weekend!
