To all the people saying, "I can't trust players not to metagame and cheat," and your players are not actual children, then you're most likely the problem.
It's amazing how much better everything is once you treat your players like adults and let your expectations be known. Trust is pretty cool.

Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Had a rough few days, and obviously the only cure is a new TTRPG for the collection. Not to review, just for myself.
What are the most bright, colourful and optimistic games you can recommend?
(New review hopefully coming tomorrow)

One of the weirder parts of doing TTRPG Reviews and Campaign Diaries based off of personal play experience is how often I can say, "So we did the thing as written, or we made this change, and it worked great."
To get the response, "Having never played this myself, I assure you that it can't work."

GM Tip: #WorldBuilding is something we do for ourselves most of the time, not for the players. There's no need to lore dump. Let it come out organically, in drips and drabs. The players will engage with the parts they're interested in; the rest is irrelevant.

TTRPG lukewarm take: A backstory is just a list of events that happened to someone. It doesn't tell you who they are. If you want to get in character, write vignettes with dialogue or present interactions instead. Then do the backstory if you want.
