I've never been this far in working on a game and still not sure if I want it to be a, "roll skills to do things" kind of RPG or something else.

They kind of have a bit where one of their hosts doesn't enjoy solo RPGs but is very polite about it anyway. Only I don't think it's a bit. Makes a nice change of pace from other review podcasts.

1 Player Podcast did a fun review of one of my games, but if you follow me you've probably already heard a review of my games. So here's a link to an episode they did about a different game! They review all kinds of 1 player games, including RPGs and boardgames.

Chao's art packs are an incredible resource for anyone who wants to publish a game.

I concur with this sentiment.

RIFTS is a great education in how you can have mechanical complexity without meaningful tactical choice. The ultimate lesson is that if the balance can be so unoptimized, then it can probably also be optimized to yield more choice with less complexity.

So far, Fluxxer is doing everything Discord does, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Fluxer Fluxer is a free and open source instant messaging and VoIP platform built for friends, groups, and communities.

I'm trying out Fluxer as a Discord alternative. I just made the first TTRPG platform on the server. I have no idea how it will go but there's only one way to find out. Come join me if you'd like!

So far it feels extremely similar to Discord, in a good way.

Sometimes, but not always! These days I also have a short list of adventures I've run often that I know I'll be able to run well at a convention, even if I'm under pressure from a tough group or convention chaos.

Volunteer for a cause. It's easier to have a good time when the goal isn't just having fun.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Which means roses are moving away from us
Whereas violets are approaching.

(Paraphrasing an original by @superdracula.bsky.social a very long time ago on Twitter that I think about every year.)

Check out Nagalisitu or The Spared and the Spoiled by RPPR! The first is about rebuilding a fantasy culture, the second is a bitter satire about the US education system. Both would fit the bill!

Absolutely, I'm sure the profit margins are completely different. I still think it's worth remembering when thinking about the size of a company.
