Thinking about Inheritance, which I sold to a friend a year ago. Hope it's in a good home, gets lots of walks and outside time, not too many snacks.

I read this a while back but Ram has me interested in going back to it.

The scarring from those flame wars is a mile thick. Nobody can say anything to us that'll even make us flinch.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

So, so many of the small creators whose work I've critiqued *act like children* so it's no surprise they just get and want, pats.

You can always tell the ones committed to improving their craft, and not just scoring attaboys.

A reminder during These Unprecedented Times that IGRC and IRGC are very, very different things.

An absurd deal for my favorite-favorite FitD game. Honestly folks, don't sleep on this.

Bananas aren't even fruit!

Checkmate haters.

If you only ever eat bananas maybe try other fruits before deciding bananas are best for everything.

Nonsense, those are all great fruits.

My worst fruits: red delicious apple (disgusting, mealy), dragon fruit (if unlined white paper was a fruit), and pomegranates (worst work:fun ratio).

(Physical tabletop RPGs and board games specifically, although but video game backlog is also depressing when all I really want to do is okay No Man's Sky forever.)

I absolutely hit this point this year. Crowdfunding backlash, out of space on my shelves, FOMO every single time I play anything for everything I'm not playing at that moment, taste pendulum swinging away from my interests.

It'll be nice to dig into what's already here.

My chest is bursting with love for you! Yes you.

Coming soon: Play Unsafe An all-new edition of Graham Walmsley's classic book about playing tabletop roleplaying games.

Remember, if the Play Unsafe Kickstarter reaches 300 followers, it will make no practical difference but give me a moment's satisfaction!

Can you help give me that moment? Or do you just like round numbers too? Am I doing this right?

It's amazing that so many people have followed the Kickstarter for Play Unsafe, my book about play, storytelling and TTRPGs, in the first 24 hours.

Go and follow it if you haven't already. And please spread the word, it helps!
