Por ahí esto ya delata mi edad pero la complejidad que le ponen a cada discord es inabarcable, simplifiquen, no es cómodo de usar.

Qué aburrido es escribir listas de nombres, pero también tiene un componente rutinario que hace fácil avanzar. Diseñar procedimientos o reglas es en comparación mucho más proclive a bloqueos creativos.

Speaking of reaction rolls, I really enjoyed reading this post at the Simulacrum blog about the history of reaction rolls through the editions. The history is actually hilarious because it sort of encapsulates the vibe of each edition. osrsimulacrum.blogspot.com/2020/09/acro...
Across the Editions — The Reaction Table
Old-school Renaissance / OSR theory and design.

It’s been on my mind for two days now, so I think I need to type up my response to The OSR Onion.
First, it’s a very good article that illustrates what I think a lot of people find appealing about OSR design, so please read it in good faith. (1/16)

The OSR Onion
The OSR may be best understood as a layered approach to design centered around a specific way of writing, refereeing, and playing adventures.

Been watching this develop. It’s pretty amazing.
I think it helps highlight how the old-school scene (by blogs) is ~6 different groups of people who may/may not be communicating.
Harder to see, but present, is the temporal aspect of the old-school scene growth & change

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready
Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map
What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

I feel like @linkskywalker.bsky.social's Flux Space concept deserves just as much praise as the Overloaded Encounter Die - so I blogged about it, again.

You’ve Met Me At A Very Flux Time: More Flux Dungeon Thoughts
I’ve written about Flux Spaces before; Nick LS Whelan’s idea of capturing somewhat abstract spaces, which (in my opinion) really capture a sense of scale that a lot of dungeons fail to …

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

Terminada! Lo valió, tiene cosas mejorables, pero es muy loable que haya producciones de buen nivel de sci-fi (o new weird, como quieran llamarle) en la argentina.
Ahora viene ese dulce momento de decidir cuál será el siguiente libro...

Update, ya pasé el primer tercio y la verdad vale la pena, me agrada que se imaginen futuros, incluso distópicos, desde nuestro país, y la escritura es buena.
Gema o estafa? Le tengo dudas al new weird todavía...

En el primer video que hice planteo traer una teoria aplicada al cuento para nuestras partidas. Sigue pareciendome interesante. Es importante para la potencia narrativa y la sensación general al final de la sesión que contemos 2 historias.

La sesión de ayer de UVG, Planicies Ultravioletas, estuvo excelente. Tengo una relación de amor odio con este juego, que no es en absoluto claro y fácil de usar como material de juego, pero con una campaña de 19 sesiones a cuestas, la historia compartida pesa más. Así me siento:
