I'm working on some conversion guidelines between games right now and in the first part of it I have to go "So OK, here's the funny thing, games are different, you can't do this with numbers, so here's some ideas on how to kind of jury-rig it."
I sure hope these still end up useful 😅

When people say that "D&D is like a wargame," and they mean because position is very important in its combat system, that's fine. When they say "D&D is like a wargame," and they mean that the combat rules are very detailed, I can tell they don't play wargames.

Preparing to run @zedecksiew.bsky.social’s A Perfect Wife tonight, made these character cards with some “backstory” questions to help connect the players to Desa Damai. Super excited for this game. (Excuse my handwriting)

Ok, @lumpley.bsky.social & I have been very up-front over the years on our sales data & etc, so here's a thing, & thanks Will, for bringing it up. Starting a career in #ttrpgs means making games. it means writing in a goggle doc or notebook, trying mechanics with a friend, finding 3 folks to play.
I don't really see any false vision of success — virtually anybody who talks about it is very up front, and people who ask about "starting a career in games" get told very plainly that the only way to have money while working in RPGs is to start with money.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

All morning I thought I'd failed, because my engine died at a red light and the examiner gave me a hiding for clumsy gear-shifts and clutch-work.
But then I got my test slip.
I passed! Omg I passed!

Today I will be taking a driving test.
Never learned to drive as a teen---and over the years it just got harder and harder to learn. Driving became one of my biggest mental blocks.
Couldn't sleep, last night. I feel like I did in school, developing a tummy ache before an exam.
Hope I don't crash.
