I wish I could say I learned through this just through my own insight and wisdom, but the truth is I smashed myself against the rocks several times and had my need for expression and love for design outweigh that need for validation. But I have learned some things i can share...
As someone who is new in this space, I definitely struggle with searching for validation in TTRPGs. Obviously it's bad for my mental health, but any tips that helped you learn that lesson?

I have learned my lessons about searching for validation within the TTRPG space (TL;DR don't!!!) , but I can say that being at PaxU made me feel connected and that i had a small but definitive lane. Its incredible to be able to meet up with all my old friends & see ppl excited about games I made.

Spending my thanksgiving alone so I decided to keep occupied and that turned into making a mini EP??? It’s somewhere in the realm of spoken word or alt rap if that interests anyone.

The playtest was very fun and interesting! Cannot wait to start running this for people!
Very excited to do my first test of the gallery game in a few hours. I have something I am eager to try. Combining the "open script" style of Wildfire Trilogy with pbta influenced "moves" that are based on using one or more elements from a work of visual art.

As a reminder, it's an @itch.io Creator Day! That means anything you buy from my store there; like Mutants in the Now and its expansions, plus all my small early games like Space Adventure Hero or MELWAFF... have 100% of their profits go to me! Take a look!
