So, a personal mission I want to write for Baroque and Palaces deals with Inquisition agents coming for David Hume when he was finishing his book in Paris (1734). In historical game design Is this a step too far?

Hmmmm.
The Baroque n’ Palaces book cover shows a group of musicians in a theatre house as it burns down around them.

I've ended the GoFundMe for Starbuck's hospital visit today.
Again, thank you to everyone who donated. It meant so much to know we have a community that surrounds us with love and lifts us up in moments like this.

I am in the middle of hammering out a time to record an AP of Cosmic Corsairs. So, stay tuned for that over the next few weeks.

The fine folks at @rookandrasp.bsky.social will be helping out with that.

Regardless of my AP, you should check out their awesome AP videos for all sorts of cool RPGs.

Hey friends,

I’ll be starting up a Go Fund Me for our pup, Starbuck. She’s been in the hospital now for almost 24 hours and we need help. This is our baby, adopted after we found her as a puppy and had been mauled.

Now she’s 8 and struggling. #help #gofundme #charity

Probably the silliest free promotional I’ve ever done, but everyone finds some nostalgic joy in temporary tattoos! I hope everyone finds some joy today! #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Things you'd learn if you read Baroque n' Palaces:

Venice was home to the buying of musical compositions and printing music, and composers would travel to sign deals; their compositions then performed on stages across Europe.

This was the proto-concept of a record label! Lean history thru gaming!

Parents who have to choose between feeding their family or seeing their kids off to school. This is the silent majority of the United States. Bent backs where every day is a struggle.

But games are about escaping reality, right?

The vast underbelly of our hidden blue-collar economy, working hours and shifts that deny them access to "normal store hours" or attending services at their places of faith. Thousands like me showed up at 2 am daily to go home at 1 pm or later if the next shift slept in.

Families hired to work for vendors, working 90+ hours a week together for the equivalent of one decent wage. The excuse was they were supposed to split the time, but the stores couldn't run without them all there...

I've often wondered if I should make a journaling game literally called, "My Time as a Fishmonger". I'd be at work by 2 am icing tables, cutting fish, checking stocks, and making orders, and the things I saw...
