I've been playing a decent bit of this with Spencer in PbP and it's been a blast.
I'm working on a big GILA playtest update to come out at the start of December.
It will have the updated rules, a starting adventure, and a starting region to practice hexcrawl mechanics.
Hopefully folks will try it and give feedback before the release in January!

Sometimes I worry that I might suffer from fomo a little too easily, but then I remember that I don't start literal physical fights with folks over a novelty shaped drinks cup, so...

Washing machine delivered and installed; I have been released!

Itchio is claiming to have paid me 7 days ago (after nearly the longest delay I've had so far), and yet I have not received any money into my PayPal account.
Thing is (and I have no proof sadly — like a screenshot etc) I swear I have checked between now and 7 days ago and it still said pending.

Every year, I want to go to dragonmeet and every year something comes up to stop me, but I have to say unemployment is the cruelest way the universe has stopped me so far.
Don't wanna know what 2026 is gonna do to stop me...

I don't feel excited about TRPGs anymore and I don't know if I'm depressed or have just moved on?
I'm enjoying other things still, which... usually depression's like a mass not-enjoying-things-anymore thing right?
I just find TRPGs really tiring. Playing, writing, whatever.

My washing machine must have heard me talking about how it's a bit old now and at risk of breaking because the fucking drum fell off or something whilst being used today, spewing rubber fumes and smoke into the house.
It is black Friday though... Might not be the worst time to have happened.

Difficult to admit this, but today is the first day I've left my house in over a month. Maybe closer to two.
Not even to go to the corner shop.
Barely even to walk up my front garden.

I've tried like 5 times to write a solo game that's basically Shadow of the Colossus and never found something that's quite got that juice.
Tonight's 'woke-up-at-a-weird-time-of-the-night' game design has led to attempt number 6.
