Very thankful for my family & community here in my grieving city. People working harder than I could imagine, fighting against terrifying violence & heavy despair. I hope that any history written about this time & place will remember the protestors, planners, and helpers who show up year after year.

Great "how did we get here" RPG rundown. Definitely gonna be sending this to people who know what D&D is but aren't sure about wider medium.
My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
