The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
We watched Edge of Tomorrow for the 3rd time and it’s still awesome. This time the 12yo kid watched with us and he rated it 10/10. He’s growing to love time travel movies too which makes me very happy.
My RuneQuest Starter Set has finally arrived! The first order of business was of course to weigh it against all my other Starter Sets… 😅
The Really Dicey channel on YouTube has a nice review of Journal d’Indochine (for which I wrote one adventure). Check it out if you’re unsure about buying the books! https://www.youtube.com
How to make a CPU… woah https://blog.robertelder.org/

Horror TTRPGs and Player Agency
I was recently listening to the Titterpigs episode on horror games, where Scott and Keith put out an open question to their audience: can you have a horror game that lets you retain agency throughout the whole adventure? I wrote up some long rant, recorded it, and sent it to them. I figured that, for my trouble, I might as well post that rant (somewhat edited) here too.
Good morning Burnaby, BC !
I hear a lot of false dichotomies in TTRPG spaces… some people don’t seem to realize that we can like both crunchy and rules light games, lore-heavy and procedural settings, and so on. AFAICT most people have quite the range in their tastes in games/movies/music/etc.
