Since I received various messages about it, when I said the other day that RuneQuest is the “worst system to play in Glorantha”, I meant “worst design among the officially published Gloranthan games”. You can surely have very fun RQ games (I did). Do I need to write a “system matters” post?

My hot take on the current RuneQuest/Glorantha discourse is, of course, that RuneQuest is the worst system you can use to play in Glorantha, and that I don’t know why Chaosium sunk so much money into it when they have much better ones on hand.

Hey, how about you shut-up, Health Canada.

We finally played the Spectaculars #TTRPG last week-end and it was pretty interesting! I’m not sure that it’s our jam past a one-shot or two, but it was fun! I had to spice up the rather bland first issue scenario though.

Just read an article about how “genAI will let us take back the open web” and…. ugh.

Thinking about a Mission: Impossible #TTRPG, I wonder whether it should be a straight up adaptation, or a “X but with Y” thing like “M:I but in Fantasy Renaissance Venice”. One reason is that since some M:I tech (like masks) feels magic, why not actual magic?

There are only two meals: breakfast, and dessert.

TFW probably a good portion of the people laid-off by Epic today are looking at Video Game Worker Unions…

Sure enough, one of the drives in my NAS failed during the night. Luckily I live within two blocks of both Canada Computers and Memory Express so I grabbed two Ironwolf drives and one of them is currently used to rebuild the RAID array 🤞🏽
