So I have been reading a particularly egregious historical romance. As histrom readers will know, some books are deeply researched, profoundly infused by their settings, and cleverly structured so that the plots spring naturally from the realities of the time. And others…aren’t.| KJ Charles

It’s been years since I was last hiking, but something occurred to me. GM Prep is a bit like deciding what you’re taking with you when you go hiking. If you bring the right stuff, your experience is more comfortable, easier, and you’re ready for problems. If you bring too little, you have to do […]| Deeper in the Game
I picked up the Vermis fictional game books, and it sparked some ideas about the nature of game design. I’ll repeat the thread here, since it seems the internet is disappearing things quicker…| Deeper in the Game

Inspiration is wildly overrated—nothing more than the result of romanticizing the creative process.| VonGiorno!
Thinking about what lies beyond our existence is perhaps the question we’ve asked ourselves the most as a species. What happens after death? What is God? Does He exist? Where is He? Is He a He? Did He come, create us, and then vanish into the universe? Today, during a conversation with some friends, the topic came up. Someone asked, almost out of nowhere: “Would you rather live a full life or press a button, know the truth, and die?” I was surprised that more than half the people at the...| VonGiorno!

Imagine a world driven by the strive for progress, improvement and innovation, rather than fuelled by corporate greed. Ideas and breakthroughs are shared freely and openly. Where instead of multiple separate entities having to expend the same effort to unlock the same benefits time and time again, locking them away inside their own corporate silos to ration out to the masses at overly inflated costs; we co-create that benefit, shared freely, and greatly accelerate the pace of innovation for e...| /dev/alias – Hack.
