Good time for an intro!
I write ABOUT #ttrpg at Cannibal Halfling Gaming:
cannibalhalflinggaming.com
And I write games myself - it's statistically likely that there will be a giant robot involved, but it's not *always* the case:

System Hack: Colony Sim Cortex Base Building
If any one topic is ‘the core’ of this System Hack, this would be it. Base building is the underlying gameplay loop of RimWorld and it is also a topic du jour in RPG circles, with the (admittedly poorly detailed) stronghold building from the D&D days of yore coming back into focus as more gamers want broader storyline opportunities. For our purposes, of course, if we’re making a colony sim we need to make a colony.

You might not ever pay all your bills off your art, but you might make stuff you love that other folks love enough to pay for, and that might make the day job & parenting & health issues & etc etc more bearable. I hope it does. I believe you can do it.

This is the first post of fiction on New Wonk Media! A short story about DIE, the future, and an unfortunate time loop.
Nat and the Dice
This piece of fiction is inspired by a recent game of DIE, which I detailed on Cannibal Halfling. Like much of my DIE fiction, it focuses on the character's lives outside of 'The Great Game'. Unlike my previous fiction, though, this one directly references something that happened in the game, and references DIE itself. Inside Nat’s bedroom was one of the windows facing the front of the comfortable home she shared with her parents and significantly younger brother.

I've been looking at When The Walls Fall and Star Crossed for for #NaGaDeMon.
WTWF has too many prompts for me to go 1:1 and is too broad, Star Crossed is too failure-coded.
Bits of those two, and maybe a dash of Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, might be the ingredients for a good cocktail though.
