Exactly. When you play a game you don’t just play rules or a system you also play people and ideas and media and society. System is blurry, games are blurry, play is blurry. All theory can provide is a lens. Long live play. Long live Sonic the Hedgehog.

two pages of the book. the first has a column of text that slowly splits into two columns of text with slight differences, describing how the characters' stories will start as one story, then diverge more & more. the second page has an explanation of blackout poetry & an example poem that reads "it looks like this"

I've been talking about this with some people, and I really think this might happen, and I'm going to do my part as well to make it so. 2026 the year of anthologies and magazines and building communities through making things together.

Plotweaverβ„’ is a new RPG system and setting from Brotherwise Games that invites players to explore the Tapestry, a universe where every story is true.

Characters might focus on the tale of a single world, or travel the threads of reality to explore endless worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, and more.

Communication is key!

While it may not feel great, telling your team you forsee being late on a deadline ASAP is HUGE for making everyone's life easier. Tasks can be juggled around, others may be able to pick up the slack.

But none of that can happen if you don't communicate.

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.
