I'm working on a trick-taking solitaire game using only a standard French 52+2 card deck, where you don't have to worry about a deal being unwinnable, and I think it's coming together nicely now :)

Poor Ulv has been so much more skittish since Stribog passed away. He'd always been easily scared, but Stribog was his older brother and Ulv took a lot of emotional support from him, and with Stribog gone it's really clear that Ulv doesn't have that anymore 💔

I've played way too much Hunt: Showdown to ever call Knives Out 3 by its correct name on the first try

Well! I've now chatted with the authors of both ultralight RPGs that heavily influenced me as a teenager (RISUS and Sherpa). Neat!

Whoa! I read FUDGE and Sherpa so long apart from each other that I never realized it was the same guy!

I picked up Sword of Cepheus yesterday, and dang, I can't wait to play it! This big Traveller kick I've been on lately has been very fruitful :)

First session of Traveller went well! Very much a rules taster where we had some jumps, RP, and combat, and once I learned where most of the relevant tables were it was pretty fast to run. I'm excited to run more!

Scientists have found zero reasons not to put Santa Claus in your Traveller game. That's just facts.

No wonder I haven't been able to find anything about the old game Meritball that I used to play with my friends growing up, apparently its actual name is Suicide! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_(game)

Today, at twelve years of age, Stribog's song ended, and his breath returned to the sky. I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge, little buddy.

Oookay, I thought The Secret Teachings of All Ages would be fine even though it was written from a believer's perspective instead of a historian's, but now he's directly crediting ideas as having originated in Atlantis. Hmm.

I found it tonight that my friends' cat "Cleo" is actually named "CLEarance Offer." Amazing.

Session zero of Traveller went well! Everyone really enjoyed the character creation minigame, myself included (I used it to make an NPC at the same time as the players). Now to prepare for next week and seeing how the game proper runs at the table :D

Surprisingly long wait at the library for this one! Also, surprisingly hard to find a book that covers esotericism from a historical perspective instead of a believer one.
...these two facts might be related.

I was never around in the scene in the 80s/90s, but I _was_ in the scene in the 2000s, and hoooo boy those Gygaxisms were still present even then in many corners of the hobby
1/ In terms of comparative examples, when anybody brings up the "man of his time" defense of Gygax, I always think of Palladium and the infamous early insanity table.
For those unaware, Palladium took an outdated version of the DSM as inspiration and included "homosexuality" as an insanity.
