Obsidian is really helpful for running games. Why did no one tell me about this word processor sooner? And by sooner I mean *harder*, 'cos I pointedly ignored it when i confused it with Obsidian Portal, which I dislike greatly. Really, you gotta up your game people.

This is one of my grid maps. 6-mile x 6-mile grid that shows the northern area around Darsildorf - homebase for my

campaign. I have one of these for each nearby grid. This gives me all the info I need when in the grid.

Grid over a Tolkien style map (pretty sure this is a origin of fantasy map style, unless i missed something). 1square = 1league = 1/6 of a days foot speed. Wouldn't have any trouble using that in a game, even though the grid is an afterthought

Why mourn the PCs death? *IS IT* realistic to do a RP mourning moment? All formations are subject to dissolution, but the holy daemon lives to ride again. So chin up.

The logical conclusion and counter-reformation of the commercialisation of TTRPG crowdfunding is for (actual) small creators to start adding stretch goals like "£1,000,000: Don't stop making news things, renounce the world, and meditate in an undisclosed stupa for the rest of my days."

Made a basic Troika character generator to save some time on our open table megadungeon. Easily copy + pastable to a text document! I pondered making the inventory automatic but it's a lot of work for something I expect will be hand written somewhere anyway, right?

Constancy is its own value! At conventions we have encountered multiple "oh wow, I grew up playing troika!" 20yearolds and "i have internalised every letter of the book" teens. Now we wait for them to grow up into the new generation of 30yearold youtubers who decide the fate of us all.

Swyvers is so good. The group did a job stealing a sealed crate for a mobster one of the players caroused too hard and fell into debt with. Turns out the crate was sealed with royal insignia. Inside, armor decorated for the royal guards.

I think the reason I like blogs is cos they're very not part of the cult of the new. 6 figure flashes in the pan don't penetrate them. They're "mend and make do". Probs why they're commercially maligned, and still actually good.
