Ramblings of General Geekery

The only way to think a Gamemaster can “cheat” is to think that they can “win”. And that’s obviously the wrong way to think about #TTRPG

Every time you go to sleep, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard releases a couple of new albums. At this point I’ve lost track of which ones I’ve listened to or not…
