This past weekend I have once again had 3 TTRPG sessions in 3 days; in the Duet one I had yesterday I felt like I was doing some of my best DMing, and I'm organizing sessions at the library and possibly at another game café here in town.

Thinks are looking good.

We think of the TTRPG space as a hobby, but it's really a collection of related hobbies.
Some love playing. Others collecting. Others watching. Some prefer theory.
For some it's hating. The number of people whose sole focus is hating on a game or edition they don't play is incredible. Joy vampires

You can make whatever you want for the pleasure of making it.

Don't worry. Someone will look at it and say, "This is just what I was looking for."

Kids, you don’t know how easy you have it. In my day, when someone bent the rules so kids could have fun with D&D, you couldn’t instantly rage post on your phone.
No, you went home, fired up the Smith-Corona, hammered out a salty editorial, and mailed it to 8 confused subscribers two months later. 😅

I just had my 3rd TTRPG session in 3 days (one online in Pirate Borg as a player, one online in 5e as a DM and one in person in 5e as a DM for a Duet game with my wife) and they all went great! I'm definitely on a high right now!

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.

It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.
