my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

It’s so fun to hear folks I haven’t talked much about Ivory Tower to describe it. When they just get the game’s core essence without needing me to explain the thing I feel transcendent

Hey @explorersdesign.bsky.social!
I made a lil press kit for a TTRPG I published and was sending it to periodicals I admire. The Exploreur’s on the list, but there’s no established way to contact on your site that I could find. Figure that may be intentional, but if you’d like the link let me know

Watched Death of Stalin for the first time since finishing Ivory Tower yesterday and it reminded me of all the elements from it that knowingly (or unknowingly) informed the game’s design
Always fun to find and revisit media that impacts you creatively
