Ramblings of General Geekery

After looking at several options for a website featuring payments and subscriptions, I understand why everybody’s raving about Ghost despite it lacking a whole bunch of basic features: it’s the cheapest option, and it has 0% transaction fees.


It’s amazing to see the amount of time, resources, and energy game-devs pour into CRPGs to get even a fraction of the immersive, reactive worlds we achieve in TTRPGs with, like, a handful of dice and a few bullet points in a notebook…

Hahahah my wife has gone back to university for a career change, and is in a Discord server with other students from her classes. She has to ask our kids to translate some of the posts from GenZ-speak to English 🤣😅


My 9 video games. But ask me again another time and half of these games would be different!

My 9 games:
- Frontier: Elite II
- Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe
- Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi
- Ultima VII: The Black Gate
- Half Life: Counter-Strike
- Lemmings
- Portal
- Day of the Tentacle
- Split Fiction

KamCon last week-end isn’t just TTRPGs: there’s also a big chunk of board games, wargames, video games, cosplay, and other nerdy stuff. But this time there was also a pinball tournament! I didn’t enter, but I played the D&D pinball which is crazy, it has a branching storyline!

Pinball machines at KamCon: Avengers, Foo Fighters, and D&D. The D&D one off course has a dragon, but also a gelatinous cube, a kobold mine, and a bunch of fun things.

Me: (stops buying TTRPG books online because the wife says we have no room left)
