Guess I should learn how to live
Because it won't go away
Someone's calling for me
Something's calling for me again

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.
So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

For our #WeekOfWorldbuilding, the first poll results are in! As such, I'm going to settle on sentient humanoid history as having been developing for approximately 3,000 years now.
With 3 major events, that would put at least 1 major event every 1,000 years - with minor events sprinkled between.

Poll results are in!
Winning with 7 votes, our sentient civilization is anywhere between 1,001 and 10,000 years old. As a result, we're going to have 3 major events, and 6 minor events, throughout the course of history so far.

Any day can become a good day, especially if you disappear into the forest and open up a tea shoppe and used bookstore that caters primarily to the wild folk of the wood.

We continue our #WeekofWorldbuilding with a look at Theology. How the universe came into existence should have already set you on the path toward what comes next, so let's codify that a bit.
But for anyone who's forgotten already, a primer on what we're working with from Cosmology yesterday.

Not all creation myths speak of harmony or careful design. Some tell of wars so vast that stars were kindling and planets no more than collateral. 1/?

Being brand ready means knowing that you'll need to be present in a number of spaces that have various restrictions on the imagery present.
This is why I always recommend a branding spray sheet where you present your brand identity ready for multiple formats, like this:

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries
- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.
