Gather with me around the fire as I bring you another tale of Meet the RPG. The night is cold and there are spirits moving in the darkness, but perhaps the story will bring some warmth to our tired bones. I was joined once more by my compatriots in the Paper Cult to play a … the legend of legend in the mist
The beacons are lit. Prismatic Wasteland calls for aid. A new blog bandwagon emerges. This holiday season, Warren has assembled us to write a hex based on the Rankin/Bass Christmas cinematic universe. For those who don’t immediately recognize the name, that’s the studio behind the old 60’s stop-motion holiday movies. Everything from Santa Claus to … blogwagon: broken bronco on the silver steppe

A thunderhead of mistakes have led to this state, and we’re gonna unpack them so at least we learn something for the future. I am not inexperienced with game jams: I cut my teeth on them in college and more recently … minimalist jam post-mortem
I watch a lot of anime. I enjoy keeping up with shows that come out each season and picking anywhere from 7 to 30 to watch on a week-by-week basis, along with those that I binge-watch after the season ends.

For the past month through the end of October, Binary is hosting the fourth annual Minimalist TTRPG Jam.

In a feat of monumental laziness, I’m writing this post to kill three birds … 270,336 spells
In a game where every character can participate in commerce, what is a merchant? Every character can pick up a sword or steal, but fighters and thieves are established archetypes. We could conclude, then, that a merchant is someone particularly skilled at business. This perspective is both reductive and conceptually boring: stories of business are … the merchant class
As with many of my ideas, this one sparked because I’ve been playing a videogame. Borderlands 4 came out on September 12th and I’ve been having a really good time with it, and in particular the boss fights have been a massive improvement over past installments. I am not the type of gamer to relish … boss relative: telegraphs & radial positioning
