Very enjoyable read! Nice to see the appreciation for the cleanness of presentation; it's the one edition that feels like it clicks with my brain, largely for that reason

(Skill challenges are a neat concept but needed some development; I would totally steal ideas from Blades in the Dark here)

This finale legitimately went so hard

Genuinely begging RPG writers to give more of a shit (read: any of a shit) about the actual craft and art of writing.

Yes, get into poetry, for the love of god.

This maybe? Was really interesting to hear it about white rice

Girl Frame confidently stomps its way into a niche mecha genre Ast-Hound-ing

"Messy lesbians, toxic power dynamics, giant robots fighting eldritch horrors, oppression, and hard choices."

Impressions of Isabelle Ruebsaat's Girl Frame, with some insights from the designer herself.

Genuinely so cool that in a landscape of open world games there was a story set in a pressure cooker of a city

Yeah NYC is legit a special place, I did a contract for a couple weeks in Flushing back in 2017 or so, and it was just magnificent

God bless America

Harrowhark Nonagesimus was ahead of the curve

Instead of Daylight Saving they should just fall back an additional hour every Sunday for six months of the year.

The username "Curubethion" comes from my LOTR Plaza days, where I played as a Gondorian ranger. Can't recall why he had an elven name, but there might have been associations with elves that his parents had.

A long time ago, I did a freeform LOTR RP on a forum where I played Curmaar (best I can remember the name), a Haradrim parkour martial artist who was found near death by the Forbidden Pool, and eventually switched loyalties to the Free Peoples. Might have had an amnesia plot too? Peak OC stuff.

Oh here's a very specific one:

"Bell curves are less swingy" is a heuristic and a bit misleading. It will start to help you understand how mechanics can create a specific game feel, but to continue advancing you need to understand when it is inaccurate

Bump in the night is great not only because it asks "what if batman fought a Dracula", there's also a raw authenticity to it as the hosts will pause to come up with answers that are satisfying and/or rad as hell in the moment
