That’s not why I was on the podcast, but as anyone who has read my A is for Artificial post knows, I have ... read more.
AMONG CATS AND BOOKS – Sun, 13 September, 11:19 PM
Dungeons and fucking dragons has sucked all joy and wonder out of magic and ruined it for games forever. Not only have you this class based restriction bullshit, but every fucking spell is a standardized mechanic. You can just do. You're expected to just do it. Hell, sometimes even asking HOW you c... read more.

Nathan AndersonSomehow, in attempting to fix the image in this post, blogger 1) wiped my draft when I tried to undo some wonky formatting 2) autosaved the wiped version 3) didn't autosave when I reversed that change, put all the text back, and exited the draft.

Answwering my own questions from last week: What happens when you fall? You suffer a two yard fall - as if a standing person's head (up in hex 2 from the ground) went to the floor (up in hex 0 from the ground.) What happens when you lose consciousness? You fall. See above. If the spell is still ... read more.

I. Spotlight Over on Rascal, I wrote about Band of Blades, which might be my favorite game, not because it’s the best but because I can basically talk about my entire relationship with games through it. While I didn’t cover my entire life, I did write what is called a ‘braided essay’, meaning there’... read more.

My Bronze Age D&D setting needs a language list, especially as language features in game lots. Players are paid for books and inscriptions collected by the academy and i have a chart for players to mark fragments of the language. 10 inscrption (tick) = one book = one box (big cross).
