Also the final of Wimbledon, but that's much less interesting. It starts in ten minutes and I'll be live-posting the whole event

Top shortage and DM shortage parallels

Brandon Sanderson withdrawal got me like:
"Now these ashes have grown cold, we open the old book.

Playing TTRPGs: Goofing, gabbing, fun with friends

Designing TTRPGs: I have locked myself in the tower and will only leave for bread and water. My hands cramp with the toil of my labor. Will I see daylight this year? It is unknown.

I like it when late stage cosmre stuff is weird and janky, like an awaked steelmind. I like it less when it's all just flattened into batteries and appliances, like a jar of dor.

I shake my head a little when I see someone starting the cosmere with Way of Kings.
Mistborn is a story about assassin Jesus and his apostles of crime.

I was thirteen when I watched @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social run 4e for the Robot Chicken guys. I began my yearning then. I think now I might finally have the right group to play with.

I get sad about "rulings, not rules" sometimes. I love rules so much. Tell me a procedure that results in an experience.
