Novel writing is frustratingly hard. I didn't think I was so bad at English (I made decent grades in it! Why doesn't my brain make it work?)

I continue to hunt and peck for words on my Space Opera/Wuxia game. I occasionally poke at one of my novels and my fandom game thing.
I just have no real energy like I used to for anything, and I know its not depression, because I've got a handle on that (and am well and happily medicated.)

Alright so random from the blue thing: If a TTRPG uses 2d6+Stat+Skill Stats/Skill Range from 1-8, with 3 Being Average and 8 Max Ever (and VERY rare), with 5 being very competent.
How many points should a player have for a competent hero when there are 6 Stats, and 20 Skills?

What character traits would you like, or seek in a wuxia space opera game? (In this case, traits are a mechanical thing like a stat/skill/ability/unique device.)

I think I'm the worst idiot in the world for trying so hard and still feeling like a failure anyway.

Not sure if people would be willing to play one of the games I'm working on. I don't entirely blame D&D but media in general, because the game is non-violent. A part of the character's very essence. They can tamper, they can frustrate and foil their adversaries, but violence is forbidden to them.

Thanks U.S. Congress, you probably a bill that will kill me.

I continue to plot and lightly hammer at my TTRPG of cosmic 'gremlins' (or cosmic 'fey') humanity as nigh godlike busy bodies helping out entire civilizations by being horrible nuisances to those who oppress, enslave, or hurt those species, as well as gently guide the peaceful while hidden

About a year ago: I saw A TTRPG on one of the crowdfunding platforms: very bright colors and some sort of music-based theme. It might be sci-fi or urban fantasy or something similar
The mechanics were somehow tied to music. Help me find it again!

I continue to toss ideas at the wall for my sci-fi RPG that aims at constructive adventure with low-to-no violence.

I've been looking for violence-free TTRPGs, I'm not ignoring conflict, just violence. I want a game that supports that as well.
Any Ideas?

Working on a superhero campaign for my group
(currently playing DC Heroes/MEGS) will be using my own system for my game.
Superheroes vanished after WWII, it is up to the 2025 team to find out why.

For those of you into D&D, this was the rough draft I used for 5E Playtest and went on to use for most of 5E.
(I used some random generators which I added stuff too, because I'd never used RG's for setting creation before.)

So I'm trying to narrow down my villains for the state of Texas in my superhero setting.
So far not counting the core team:
Tornado Commando (flies on top a whirlwind, air control)
Centrifugitive: Spins at superspeed
Armodillo/Armor-Dillo: Power Armor (might be to similar to Champs character)

Working on West Texas supervillain ideas today. I have to theme them right. I already have:
La Pistolera
Roadrunner
Stroke ('heatstroke')
Wildcatter
Roughneck.
Now, I'm adding others.

I can't sleep, and my brain is stuck: I don't like Captain Marvel's (Carol) modern costume. And I'm not coming up with any clear ideas on improving it.
I've now been searching for 'redesigns' of her costume.
Note: I have nothing to do with comics.

I may have to pull away from all social media for a bit. I don't want to but my depression is coming back over stupid political crap. I'm not going yet, but I may have too.
