Started painting some laser skeletons today! I don't know why its taken me so long to paint some necrons, they were one of the factions that drew me to the hobby. And of course I'd take the robot skeletons and make them into skeletons again.

Deep in the ttrpg philosophy today: Rules exist to guide and regulate player action. Each rule can inspire (letting players know this new action is available) and/or limit (telling a player what is not available). What then draws us to games with rules? Is it the inspiration or the limits?

Now that One Last Fight is getting into peoples' hands I am very excited to hear the kinds of stories they tell. I have yet to play two games with the same tone, genre, or setting. I've fought corpo Dracula, a cat who turned everything to meat, and a sentient meteor! What you got going?

In my continuing study into what makes a game "fun" I have discovered that the "fun"ness of a game is actually like, third in priorities. More important are "the people you play the game with" and "does the game align to the group dynamic."

I always think about this when it comes to wanting to play a new game. If you're the GM, that means you are learning that game on your own time and teaching that game to people who, even if they have access to the materials to learn, more often then not expect to be taught through play.

I have realized that emotes are like punctuation for non-sentences where you want to acknowledge the other person's input, but don't feel the need to add onto or encourage further discussion.

Every group who plays Elden Ring: Nightreign has the following: 1) The person who has played Elden Ring and maybe beaten it. 2) The person who has completed Elden Ring 100 times. 3) The person who has never personally interacted with a Fromsoft before.

Does anyone else get to a point pretty early on in a game design and realize "I *gotta* know what the character sheet looks like before I go any further"? Like, I need to know what I what mechanics players to have access to before I get too deep in the whole thing.
