This review.
You may be attracted first by the stunning art and visual texture, but I promise you that the text (rules and prose both, and intertwined) and the mechanics are also richly textured, and incredibly tactile. I can't recommend it highly enough.

With Satine Phoenix trying to re-emerge again I have to say:
We have to stop calling issues like the shit Satine did drama.
It's harm, grift, wage theft, traumatizing people, misogyny and abuse.
Drama can play into her downplaying her actions. She destroyed lives and still dodges accountability.

several of us are updating our "here's a few things you might not have known about Minnesota" powerpoints as we speak
Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

Sekiro and Bloodborne are the only S tiers, Elden Ring is at most a low A/top B, Dark Souls should follow the first two either in S or top A. Also, Sekiro better than Bloodborne, even if I like Bloodborne as a game much more

Talking about how huge anime is in LATAM due to how cheap it was to import it to fill the non-prime slots, so we got anime with the original OPs
2 years ago we sang the DBZ OP with two japanese guys, a USian, and another argentinian in both languages at a Tenjin karaoke.

I made a long ass thread about what my economics were this year - a year when I didn't launch a KS, and where most earnings came from Zephyr since we have no Nibiru stock. It's worth a look if you are interested in numbers and factors swinging the viability of a one person operation in indie TTRPGs.
These are the revenue stats for Araukana, based almost entirely on Zephyr sales, for 2025. This doesn't include close to $1500 from IPR consignment sales, nor sales from my US distributor that were discounted from warehousing costs. DTRPG shot showcases gross sales VS net earnings. Thoughts follow..

It's absolutely no joke the amount of stuff about game design I learned by getting really into fighting games. There's even a cross-game, cross-era glossary of terms. Made by players. DESIGNERS in TTRPGs can't even agree and come up with such a resource. We got much to learn.

Switching "System Doesn't Matter" to "I Don't Care About Systems" is way more accurate, and a better indicator of a designer's quality output, buy y'all are just too coward to say it.

Fighting games are 100% knowledge checks, all the time. Even catching a low medium and getting comboed into the moon because you didn’t protect your Jordans is a basic knowledge check. Not breaking throws after successfully blocking a string is effectively a knowledge check.

By the way, the shallowness and prickish demeanor ascribed to proclaimers of "System Doesn't Matter" is entirely their fault. Many of those people left social media by their own merit of being insufferable, and to talk about being vapid, an indie TTRPG store literally sells stickers with the slogan
Putting aside the specific arguments re: "System Doesn't Matter" I disagree with Rob's thread entirely. Instead of people being charitable to folks being inflammatory, deliberately or thoughtlessly, more people need to think about what they say. Don't start a fire if you don't want the smoke!
It's early and this is a truly atrocious cup of coffee, so it seems like a good time to pick a fight with the world.
"System doesn't matter" is a valid, reasonable, and *critically important* argument which has been rendered ragebait and a punchline by pedantry.
