The hack of the AI influencers puts me in mind of how genuinely optimistic cyberpunk was. Even when it posited a tremendously dark world, it presumed people WANTED something better, and would not tolerate the worst, most inhumane activities. If only we knew.

For the ttrpg sicko and/or 70s road/90s post-western movie fan: Trouble For Hire! No GM, no prep, take on the different roles of the story as you play out the weird, violent and bizarre adventures of Rueben Carlos Ruiz. My pick for "game more people should know!"

On some level, every RPG design is an argument for how things could be better. Few things motivate design like seeing another game and being inspired by what it could be, but is not. So you make this beautiful argument with your soul, and the overwhelming response is *always* to keep playing D&D

Damn. We just lost Rob Wieland. I’ve appreciated his Forbes RPG reviews, played in one of his games and have chatted with him at GameHole Con. I was looking forward to bumping into him at GHC this week. Rest in peace brother.
