A #SaturdaySnippet for y'all! I've more been editing this week than writing, but here's a little look at how #PoweredNovel is coming along. One of my favorite exchanges I've written :)

Along the same lines as 'meaningful choices,' I think players want agency (both over themselves and the world). & I think they want to inhabit a universe where effort and cleverness are consistently rewarded.

i have ascended to the next level of DM-hood. one of my players reported "actually feeling melancholy" about what their character is going through

AI doesn’t have intelligence and isn’t sentient! Stop it!! We can’t even treat living beings (humans or animals) with empathy and respect. Maybe work on that first.
