I think it's a great starting point. In fact, if you like it, you'll probably be into anything else he wrote.

Consistency is actually a major factor I consider when describing a TTRPG quality. I wrote about that and the other factors here: thoughtcrimegames.beehiiv.com/p/delivering...

I miss Space Academy. I still make the door-opening sound when I go into a room, sometimes.

When I was in 8th grade, the whole school gathered to watch The Omega Man in the auditorium. We also watched Hellfighters.

This episode has sparked a wonderful conversation on the Unwritten Discord and a deluge of appreciation for so many games with 🤯-design.
unwrittenearths.com will get you a link to the Discord if you were looking more comprehensive list or have a game to share that blew your mind.

Randomness in #TTRPGs is good. Especially when it is used for character and setting generation.

Fiasco
Gamma World 7th Edition
In A Wicked Age

Mike Pondsmith's Other Games Looking at the work minus the mirrorshades.

The career of Cyberpunk steward Mike Pondsmith gets weird and fascinating when we travel away from Night City and into the decade between 1985 and 1995.

This game was published in 1987

My Bounty Hunter character was captured and thrown in a cell. The GM said, "They took all your equpment"

Me: "Including my knife?"

GM: "Yes.

Me: "What about...my other knife?"

GM: Smiles and looks at my character sheet. "Yeah, they missed that."

Cut to a daring escape attempt.

Here's a bit of genius game design from the West End Star Wars RPG.

Each Character archetype had a list of equpment pre-loaded. Two items for the Bounty Hunter were

Another Knife

I'm gonna start a edition war about Nobilis.

It's gonna be me vs. maybe one other person. Kinda cozy.

If you see this, post a princess.

Fun fact: Kenu Reeves' path to stardom began when he defeated Koh the Face Stealer.

I wish more folks knew that crowdfunding really fucks with your brain in ways you cannot expect.

We have new creators do small projects 1st because it helps you learn what it’s like.

Weird chemicals, highs and lows, backer feedback loop. It’s a trip.

Thinking about #TTRPGs

People like Dancey are so tiring and boring. I won't be buying anything from AEG (or any company he's working with)!

If there is one thing I cannot stand with TTRPGs, it is when ppl try to turn their preferences and aesthetics into bullshit facts or bullshit theory: "this what i like, so this is what is good."

I am sorry, but your taste is likely not good enough to dictate that.
