This makes me think of the journey I went on where I used to think I really wanted a setting- and theme-neutral system, but once I found ones I liked, realized that I actually wanted the exact opposite: systems that push you towards VERY specific settings and themes, and aren’t always extensible.

OMG THE CUTEST

this fact actually makes me more worried

um

Hey, would absolutely love to play with you, but also know there’s so many amazing folks out there, so saying that without any pressure! 💓

“Luna and her dwarf bagpipes” is the phrase I needed today

is there any other definition of joy beyond “sharing a solid cackle over a weird object with a good friend”

Ooh, that’s a great idea, thanks so much for sharing! The complete control is really appealing.

This is such helpful advice! I’m working on launching a store (in the future), do you have any suggestions on choosing a vendor/app? Everything seems like it’s either missing features and/or feels like it doesn’t match my values…

No, although I think that’d be interesting! The idea is that we need more outlets with Actual Play coverage and reviews, because there is so much creation, but little coverage. To oversimplify/summarize, many have pointed to the “everyone wants to be a creator, no one wants to watch/listen” problem.

That’s really valid; there’s a whole dimension of this that would be more useful at a large scale, which is absolutely needed but also hard to imagine there’s a way to get the long-term funding needed to provide the kind of infrastructure and staff required to provide good, ongoing coverage.
