Issue 3 of The Dispatch for #Over/Under.

Taking the weekend off to do other things was no doubt necessary, but I can't help but feel like we missed A LOT of goings-on.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing -- I hadn't seen this. I think I disagree with parts (or at least have a different set of personal tastes; will draft a more detailed comment on the post) but I really like the idea of endnotes for rulebooks.

Re: constant glancing, I think the key is to only use them for stuff that doesn't need to be read at first pass, like combat stats and specific treasure contents

Yeah, definitely not a one-size fits all solution. Fwiw despite the grandiose claims in the post my stance is more that footnotes used well could be a useful tool, but they definitely don't belong in every game/adventure

So You Want to Write Iambic Pentameter In which I share the dirty secrets of the world's least useful skill

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

Will add it to the list! I recently picked up this one, which is apparently only footnotes πŸ˜†
