Teach Concentrically: When you teach a game, you want to introduce the core tenets of the play experience, and then build upon that knowledge concentrically, so that every new piece of information feels easy to integrate but continues to expand upon a sense of complex interdependence that cannot be โ€œcollapsedโ€ or โ€œresolvedโ€ except perhaps through play.

Wrote this as part of a game design consultation follow-up report, and I'm feeling really happy with how these words fit together.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: gym setting. One guy sees another guy across the gym with huge muscles. He remarks, โ€œwhoa! That dude is yolked!โ€ Panel 2: a girl working out next to him says, โ€œugh, why do guys even want to get that big?โ€ Panel 3: the extremely jacked guy is walking away with a slight smile. He is imagining himself dapping up a group of huge gorillas who are all happy and smiling, accepting him as one of their own.

Teaching a 2-hour intro to tabletop game design class at Gettysburg Library tonight. It will, of course, include the Worst Dungeon Crawl Game Ever exercise that's gone over quite well in the past. But this time we are making our own cards.

When asked "Why play solo RPGs?", I try to hit:

- Flexibility: play anytime
- Creativity: build your own worlds, characters, stories
- Skills: learn systems, practice GMing
- Focus: center on one character
- Immersion: explore personal experiences and emotions
- Community: share your stories

We Contain Solitudes by Seven Crows Games A 2 player TTRPG about troubled souls trapped in a time loop that plays out in prose and soliloquies.

You should play We Contain Solitudes this weekend.
While it isn't like, romantic or anything, it's certainly intimate, in the way that a focused two person conversation is. More so given how the game works, but I'll leave that for you to discover in play.

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.
