Amidst the horrors, we still make things
I started reading papers about gahum to fill in the blanks I have in sorcery
but reading more just made me realize how much sorcerous power (magic) is connected to social power (debt, dominion)
so now I'm thinking about how to do that for Mangayaw

so now I'm thinking about how to do that for Mangayaw
the difficulty in designing mangayaw is find the balance between making a game I would like to play and one that is true to complex systems of society and culture at play in Philippine folklore

We're alive to love things, learn things, and make things. That's it. That's our whole task in our short bright flash of life. Love, learn, and create. The more love, learning, and making stuff you put in the world - the love, harmony, beauty, justice, compassion and mercy of existence - the better.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Now that I'm free I'm frantically looking for an rpg to run at an in-person game day tomorrow.

RINGS OF REMINDER
Here's practice I started in 2024, to balance out my severe insecurities: every time I finish a personal project and it is fully out in the world, I get a ring to wear.
Here are all the projects I've finished, in the last two years:

A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh)
Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).

Came across this piece of advice I saved for myself, on world-building.
Do you build a world like you build a doll's house? Or do you build a world at a person's size, for people to live in?
From Le Guin.
"... the pattern is incomplete ... Let the heart complete the pattern."

Family Dinner Hours
For small groups. Take your role - Skeevy Uncle, Judgy Aunt, Wine Mom, and so forth.
Find the most offensive things to ask each other in the sweetest or most innocuous ways as you pass the salt, or fetch the plates.
You win if someone actually wants to actually punch you.

THAT’S JUST HOW A BARN DOOR CLOSES
come up with a fake but plausible folksy aphorism. use your phrase once in every conversation you have for a day. if someone asks you what your phrase means, you lose. if someone else uses your phrase, you win.

Find a load of cool sticks and give them names.
Throw them in a pile just of the path.
Come back every day and check on them.
The last stick remaining is the best stick.
Forget the names of the others.

put a shuffled deck of cards in one pocket, and as many dice as you can fit in your other.
when you encounter another duelist, reach in your pockets & 3-2-1 draw a card and roll a die.
what you pull from your left pocket is your defense, your right pocket is your attack.
winner gets the spoils
