This was how my last corporate job was too

That is so fucking cool!

One of the biggest things I’ve been working on that I think is gonna be super fun is a spell resolution oracle of sorts.

Something to help tables play GMless if they want. It’s still in development right now but I’m excited to see where it goes!

Dark Pattern is what I always learned as well. As like the overarching term for the category.

You’re right though that it doesn’t sound negative enough

There’s a reason tea is the second most consumed drink worldwide, after water.

Its sort of striking to me how incredibly strong the pacing is. I don't think its something I had super actively thought about previous times I'd watched it.

Things move at a great pace while still having enough time for the characters. How the arcs play out and interact is really good too.
