Many people have said to me: "Idra, I like playing Classic Traveller, but I hate being a grizzled ex-marine or battle-hardened scout. I wish I could play as a nerd-priest from Herman Hesse's most boring novel." idraluna-archives.bearblog.dev/two-classic-...

"how can we incentivize public transport usage" make it free "but who will pay for it" the taxpayer "but won't that make people have less money" not if they use public transport "but doesn't that punish motorists" that is the incentive yeah

It’s still not at all obvious to me that there’s any use case where generative AI increases efficiency. I can see how it might produce more Product in some instances, and that Product might be “good enough” to pass muster, but its not clear to me that that corresponds to efficiency

Gonna start an OSR podcast that’s just me reading whole modules aloud and occasionally saying “Hmm, I’m not sure how this would work in actual play”

Good trap

I think people in the 2110s will look back on videos like this the way we look back on like Tomato Soup Cake. I am so excited to watch this

Wassily Kandinsky : Red Sun and Ship, 1925

Character creation reduces player agency I will die on this hill

Every mechanic is rules-bright if the theme of my game is that my game has rules

What a beautiful game! Look at the colours used here - magical work! :D

One method of prep I've been thinking about committing to is doing all prep as normal--maps, keys, tables, etc.--but then leaving all that at home when I sit down to play

These jellyfish larvae: * . * . * . * . * * . * . * * . *

You're watching a leptocephalus ("slim-head"), the larval stage of an eel. Wait for the unrolling! You can see why early naturalists thought they were their own species, but this little guy will grow up into an adult eel, if he manages to stay concealed. (📷: Robert Stansfield, Blackwater Cozumel)

Seriously considering using the assault combat matrix in Marc Miller’s Verdun to resolve OD&D melee. It’s simple, it’s clear, it’s terrifying.

Anything can be boring if you’re brave enough.

Some thoughts on Nomic ahead of facilitating 24 hours of it this weekend with @scribblemhorror.bsky.social idraluna-archives.bearblog.dev/doing-a-cool...

The literacy in TTRPGs discourse reminds me once again that everyone should play Nomic. And hey by the way, did you know there's a 24-hr Nomic game happening this weekend? Wow!

Despite not having nearly enough Troika! experience to justify it, I made a supplement: idraluna-archives.itch.io/warhoon
