I’ve been interested in Pauline theology for a while: first, for his emphasis on community organization against the norms of 1st century Greco-Roman politeia; second, his...

This is Part 1 because I didn't want to be late to my own party but I also don't like blogging for a topic in advance even if it's my idea. Feels like homework. And I like...Linked by the ring

My partner got me and herself really into Dandadan, which she described at one point as Mob Psycho for people who go to the club. It's so so so fucking good. Momo and her...

There's a really good post by Elmcat about prepping settlement-based adventures by designing neighborhood blocks and representing buildings (etc.) as people! But it also has a...Linked by the ring

Following Lich Van Winkle's post about dee-five-six, I wanted to post about a realization I had that I'm sure others know but thought would be nice to record: 2D6+X where we...

Wrote a minizine about A.I. because people outside of tech often ask me what the deal is and why I’m so anti-passionate about it. Printable version on Itch! 1. A.I. Revolution...Linked by the ring

This is partly my attempt to modularize more complex rules from Cinco! (I can’t decide how to type that) as opt-in rules for characters, as well as coming up with additional...

(Previous Post)I’m going to invoke the death of the author here before anyone else does (never mind). It’s easy to talk and argue about intent when discussing texts, especially...

One common complaint about feats or even class features is that they foreclose particular actions from characters in general by cloistering them within specific character...

I like fluxcrawls, but there's little choice involved as such. Instead of rolling for a random event or the quality of an event, check D20: on 9–, pick 1; on 10–19, pick 2; on...

Guess it's. Never. Really. Over!Although I thought it'd be neat, I didn't like the feel of rural hexes being both home- and work-places. Just felt difficult and...
