How long do we really want to think about that die roll?

A mash up of thoughts and postulated ideas as I inch my way towards doing something with this stubborn Sci Fi idea I have.

Focus on game design. The advantage of a clear vision

A quick post Ottocon talk. Things could have gone better in the AAIE game I ran but all in all I think everyone had fun.

Some lessons learned.

A lot of D&D podcasts are talking about the new psionic class in the latest unearthed Arcana. I have opinions about psionic classes. So today I share a rare D&D 5ed adjacent pod with the fine listening group.

Some very rapid fire thoughts on Exploration as a foundation for a TTRPG experience.

We can’t completely ignore logistics and book keeping … can we?

Some thoughts on Rules As written. Should RAW play be a design goal ?

“The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.”

Gary Gygax

Every good setting needs a core idea. A nascent sci fi setting idea …

On the road with a mix of TTRPG topics.

Mostly prepping for Otto-Con… and a few digressions along the way.

A wide range of thoughts on a design approach that represents one of my blind spots.

A conversation I had about D&D and why this is not aD&D pod cast even though in all honesty that would serve me better.

And so much more.
