Archive Delving - Dungeons & Dilemmas

This past week featured some classic TTRPG discourse - notable not just for the eternal recurrence of topic, but that the leading luminary in the actual play/streaming space (Brennan Lee Mulligan) seemed to be wading in. I've largely stopped paying as much attention to this debate (in no small part because it's usually localized to Twitter, which I don't enjoy being on) but I do think it's fun to think, read, and talk about. I'm inching closer to writing the first part of that manifesto I've been threatening, and even if I recover my faculties and divert from that particular madness, I think it would at least be fun to write something about it. At the very least, I think it would be fun to make my friends read it.

Anyway, that's part of why I missed my usual window for a weekly delve, and why I think I'm reaching for something that advertises itself as philosophical. Today I'm reading Jesse Burneko's Dungeons & Dilemmas!

Archive Delving - Moonsailors

I'm back for another delve into the archive! I've been wrapped up with writing for NEW BLOOD and Daybreak on the Battlefield, as well as scheduling playtests, which has been eating up my ttrpg energy. But I've saved up enough to do a quick little read-through of Moonsailors, an offering from ZineQuest 2.

Review: ARCANA (for Heart: The City Beneath)

Work on NEW BLOOD continues! While I'm thinking about designing for Heart, I've been wanting to read as much as I can. Today, I'...
