I'm not sure where i have found this post ( @Xenograg @kyonshi probably among link in some of your finds ) but I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel TEN YEARS after this idea came up to blogosphere. If that's not the perfect example of OSR perpetual archeology then I don't know what is.

Because my OSRish alignments/gods have their saints and aspects and stuff. And all of them may be (probably are) in conflict.

@kyonshi @vdonnut IMO, those are incompatible. I am still trying to figure out what that means for my games. YMMV.

@kyonshi @vdonnut I seek to role-play a polytheism where priests are concerned with rites. They can also do/be other things, but religion is...simple(r).

I sometimes struggle with blogging. The blogs that interest me are ttrpg advice blogs, written by much smarter people than myself. I have my own blog which I enjoy using, but I often feel that I should also be producing ttrpg advice. However, while I think about ttrpgs a lot, I play very infrequently and don't have that much to say about it!
I instead usually write about my campaign. I'm trying to give myself permission to do so, even if the posts aren't useful to others. It's just for fun!

Xenograg,
@Xenograg@dice.camp avatar

@nickdrawthing my blog is mostly excerpts from books, films, TV, et. al.—other people’s words. I have started blogging “original content” but am still self-conscious about it.

I remind myself to not overthink. Just do it. Your audience is you. Anyone else is a bonus.

It's been a minute; let's do this again:

If you are a Tabletop RPG nerd and have less than, say, 500 followers (or think you have less than 500 that are actually active):

  1. Write a post to introduce yourself and your particular nerdery, if you haven't already got one pinned.

  2. Reply in the comments with a link to or copy of that post.

  3. Share, check back to find people you want to follow, all that.

So, there are licenses for driving a car, which call for a test and can be revoked if someone commits (most) crimes related to misuse or dangerous use of a car.

There are licenses to practice law, which call for a test and can be revoked if someone commits (most) crimes related to twisting, abusing, or violating one's legal position.

I have never heard of a business license being revoked for reasons like this... and reasons are multiplying like mold on our economy and society.

@ramsey @malin @pteryx AFAIK, such licenses are the concern of each US state.

@Xenograg I'm really not sure what prompted me to follow you or if it was a reciprocal follow after you started following me (which begs the question: why?), but I really enjoy your posts! Keeping nerding out on the nerd stuff. I don't play D&D any more (sadly, no TTRPGs currently), but recently started listing to Swift as a middle finger to MAGA, and wish we did SRE well (or really anything well) at $employer. Anyway, hat tip!

@ramsey @omnicolor I became a when "Blank Space" was released. Late by some measurements, but in time to be faithful through the tear-her-down years.

One of the things that the players seem to be slowly discovering is that magic is something that anyone can do, they just need to figure out their own passion to unlock it.

Some may dance. Others write in weird codes. A few concoct and drink potions. There are those who pledge themselves to gods or oaths. Painters. Herbalists. Teknologists! Anyone.

And soon... they'll learn more

Here's the amended AC table post-UA.

"Whaaa?..." I hear you exclaim?

"What is this elfin chain, or bronze plate, or field plate of which you speak?"

New armor types! What could possibly be better?!
