the reason i think it could dovetail is that dungeons, left unchecked for too long, could sprawl into each other the same way boils agglomerate into carbuncles. the results could be weird hybrid ecologies that eventually merge as one dungeon's fauna outcompete the other's

this would dovetail with a setting idea i had where "dungeons" are basically abscesses on the earth's surface. gold is inimical to nature and the dungeon ecology is a kind of immune reaction. in a sense, adventurers are doing a service by lancing the boil... but they do keep the gold, don't they

you gotta get some of That Good Chalk. you know the stuff. it's illegal because it works too good

sorry but i've got the maximalist opposite take: you should live on a little ambulating scale that carries you everywhere, constantly assessing your weight. imagine a hoverboard that hates you.

you are literally the only other person i've seen mention strike! on this website

you being on team 4ever makes so much sense

say what you will about the sabbat path of caine but at least it's an ethos

i mean there is a gaming police force, but hasbro only uses them for m:tg

x-crawl gets an HR department

d&d is the lingua franca of tabletop gaming (and much like the real lingua franca, it is a hideous chimera of indefensible assumptions)

As an addenda:

I have been told that NSR is a thing that exists, and that an NSR is when an OSR is a "Story Game" and or has pronouns in it. A "story game" is like what if a TTRPG was a Walking Simulator. At the risk of expressing an opnion that will get me killed: I think walking simulators rock.
