And you end up channel surfing your way into the middle of Shawshank Redemption and you get drawn into the rest of it. I don’t even know if that movie has a beginning.

When we took 4-month-old Eleanor to her first doctors appointment we knew we made the right call when the doctors called her name and a 90-year old woman stood in response.

Good prompts and random tables that can push a campaign. Think score tables in BitD or random encounters in new zones for Year Zero games. Not only do they let me, as a GM, jump into a game with zero prep, but it lets the story surprise and delight me as well!

A Couple of Drakes mentioned something similar recently. People think winning awards and having successful Kickstarters means $$$

Listen, you have the power to fix this oversight. Just sayin’.

Forbidden Lands is very fun. Sometimes I wish it were slightly less lethal. But only sometimes.

Also you hurt me so good with Burning Wheel.

Background and goals, and how it fits with the starting situation and the other characters. Everything else (class, stats, etc) comes from that.

For real we need to bring back stockings for men, Revolution-era style.

I remember when 5e started it was specifically called out that they over did it in the past and they were going to have a very slow release schedule.

I’m partial to The Boundless. Evokes freedom and potential and the open ocean.

I understand that too bleak thing. I love Carolina Death Crawl but can only play it at most once a year because damn.

My local group prefers more laid back games without such dark themes, so sadly I won’t get these to the table.

This is a tough one as my ADHD brain’s hyperfocus bounces from system to system. Currently I’m reading through Brinkwood, Red Markets, and Spire (I go through themes). For unknowable reasons I’m currently drawn to games of fighting regimes and late stage capitalism.

That game’s on my Christmas list! My local group loves Battle Royale and the like. They’d eat this up.

Spreading the word, providing community copies on Itch, copious and continuous cheerleading. You are great support!

But it’s pretty obvious you’re not bankrolling anyone and I’m embarrassed for those that ask.
