Lol at me doing this for Himbos at the same time (I'm in layout!) as Adam doing this for Cybermetal.

Can't wait to play this!

The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.

One of the things I'm currently finding difficult about my job is the disconnection between what my curricular responsibilities are and where my artistic interests are. How are all the academics navigating this divide? Do other people just get to teach what they are passionate about?

Part of the joke I made was that 90% of game design is nouns. Are there games that are more resistant to re-nouning?

Played some Gallows Corner today and it does some interesting things but moreso brought up a conversation/thoughts about when something should be a game or just a setting/supplement. What are some examples of games that *can't* be ripped about?

Is it a bad idea to try and make a himbos tactics zine in time for breakout con?

Just because it's an obvious idea doesn't mean it's a bad idea!

Yeah it really pushes a lot of boundaries in ways that could totally not work for folks. I don't often like experimental lit but that one did it for me.

I have never done this tbh! It always looks sparse but I think there might be more gaps in people's schedules this time around. I know a lot of folks find success with boards games or mtg so there's no reason it shouldn't work! Also say hi if you see meeeee

Those breakout con games really filled up fast. I know it's 4 days now but it also feels like there are less offerings?

Any Unity pals used Microverse? I have unfortunately decided to make a wilderness game and don't want to become uninspired by the built in terrain tools.
