Latest Articles

I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:


Reading Classic RuneQuest: Open Box!

Welcome to Open Box, the part of the blog where we look backwards to look forw… wait, no that’s not correct. It’s the part where we open the 2nd edition RuneQuest boxed set, like I said we would in the preamble! Let’s be careful with those corners, lift the lid, and take in the wonderful […]

Reading Classic RuneQuest: Preamble

Hey Ludo, what time is… YEAH IT’S RHUBARB PIE TIME AGAIN BITCHES!

Also, yes I’m drinking the rhubarb juice left behind because that’s how I roll!

Oh nice, someone is finally stepping up against John Deere’s famously extreme enshittification. And it’s coming from Canada! I hope this works out well for everybody (except the assholes at John Deere corp)
