First I got my deck for Prosper with Dragons! @prosperwithdragons.bsky.social

This deck arrived in the mail and we played two rounds (me and my two teenage children) that same afternoon. It's a cooperative game that reminded us a bit of Splendor, which is also a popular game in our house.

Tax billionaires, free public works, pay people enough that they have time to get involved in community, design around accessibility and not capitalism

Fiction, but I read this 10 years ago and took notes like it was an instruction manual. More gated communities, abject poverty/chaos outside of them, few jobs, company towns.

Tropic of Kansas by Christopher Brown is good for a surveillance state focus.

I love all these pieces so much, but I think my favorite detail is on the bathroom one, if you look REALLY closely, there's a family portrait of the guy and the dragon hanging over the toilet.
