Treating D&D as a monolith that can only be ONE THING™ is, in fact, strengthening Hasbro's stranglehold on the game

On real #sad days; I'd remember mom. She'd recall all the horrible things happening to kids my age across the world. How they're going to have to live on with those experiences in their pasts. Eventually I'd realize that being able to mope about was a luxury.

Flipping Bastard Whatabout'ed me!!!

Of the Empire
by Mary Oliver
Of The Empire by Mary Oliver We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

I have three types of TTRPG characters.

- There is a System and I will Destroy it.
- There is a System and I will Abuse it.
- Don't stop, never give up, hold your head high and reach for the top.

I have three types of TTRPG characters.

- Trans Girl Wish Fulfillment.
- Weiss Schnee but a different class.
- Disaster Lesbian who tries to be the party face.

Sometimes all three at once, lol XD

Building this craft game has been a fun test of what I've learned in a six month fever dream of a course. It still looks like cheeks but its a wip. Consuming books, random build quest and building in multiple weapon functions; all work!

Without a Dawn is coming out in less than three weeks! I'm pushing hard to gather enough wishlists for better exposure on Steam, so if this looks like something you'd play, consider adding to your wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you! 🤗💛

Guess I now have a proof of concept of In A Dark Place. You can accept craft jobs from clients, craft the item, hand in the item and receive rewards. I removed the AI backgrounds and replaced it with horribly edited images!(Till I get human made pixel art)

Making a game. Got a third of my Proof of Concept done. It's a single location crafter called In a Dark Place. You're trapped in a smithy and must build a way out.
1) What I Got Done So Far
2) Accept craft quests.
3) Craft an item.
Turn in that item for a reward.
#gamedev #indiegamedev #javascript
A dark screen with just text. Starting with : You come to in a Dark Place. Fire is a animation. Pixel background is stolen from AI. I will never use AI in my finished works but I will steal from it while doing my wips.
