How have we not yet gotten a Swedish game called Juleskum? It’s perfect. It’s right there and it’s perfect.

There are days I wake up worried that I’m too much of an art nerd, too hoity-toity in my preferences, for my chosen field. But then I have coffee and remember I’m a New Yorker and no, it is the children who are wrong. Time to keep plugging away at raising the bar.

Yup!

Of course this dope ass book sale is happening a few days AFTER I leave New York

Pigeon what’re you doing here this isn’t New York go home

Yup!!

Landed in Sweden. New apartment is lovely, as is the new neighborhood. However, no logical place to set up my PC. The home planning begins!

Ah crap that’s right! You’d told me you were in Stockholm. I spaced, my bad. But yes I’ll absolutely see ya at Gothcon :)

Yup! Well I know her broadly from idiomdrottning but yeah that piece gets a lot of air time.

Ooooh good to know!

Some!! But it’s a job move. Joining the World of Darkness team. Still, it’ll be good to be near folks like @nohr.se and I’ve got a list of friends of friends I’ll need to look up.

Actually been in NYC the past few years!! But now to Stockholm :)

I may finally be “ready” to move. Practically. Mentally who knows. Whoever is next to me on the plane is in for a WILD ride.

Yeah but it’s the hope that kills you

I’m sorry, Toronto. This is insanely rough. As a Mets fan, you have my sympathy.

I mean I’d like to make money or even just break even. I thought all he managed was to sell a dollar for 50¢

You reach a point in packing and repacking where you look at every single object you own with disdain, and multiple times throughout my life this moment has occurred just past the point of realistically setting up a donation. It feels like a damn trap.

Disassembling a PC and packing the parts for travel is really fun because even when you think you’ve done everything right you have NO idea what may have broken until you arrive and set it back up

Haha thanks, both of those and also work on World of Darkness

Moving, Sweden

Note to self: the next time I’m moving for any reason, remember that it is better to ship early and live without things than ship “on time” and encounter issues. I suppose also a note to anyone else considering relocation.

I agree!! Especially the D&D film. I was sad it didn’t make enough money both because I would’ve enjoyed a sequel and because it’s rare that kind of translation comes off so well. I was rooting for it to be recognized as a success among non-gamers. That’s what’s really needed for future licensing.

Thanks, bud <3

Haha that'll DEFINITELY not be a public chat. I don't talk work in the open forum, and I'm circumspect about it even in private :P

Ohhhh yeah that's a VERY different beast in the other direction. Not one I've worked on much or ever really been a big player of if I'm being honest.

Haha thanks, bud <3 Always here for one of your ramblings.

As a reader or an analog game player, I can engage with the universe of 40K in a ridiculous number of ways. As a videogame player or, soon, a viewer? Much more limited. They've identified the core, accepted it, and said play in the margins so long as it doesn't screw up that core where it matters.

I think GW have done this better than anyone, really. They have countless things in-universe that are basically marginalia, across every comparatively low-revenue media. But their base games? They keep to a core. And their licensed endeavors? The big ones also keep to that core, and reinforce it.

I think it's a feature AND a bug, depending on if I'm looking at the medium itself or the difficulties with adaptation. Like I'm absolutely team mutability. TTRPGs are good *because* of it. But at the same time I think you need to hone in on some core, any core, when it comes to adaptation.
