TTRPG editing
Hi, I'm Tim Gray. I provide freelance editing and proofreading for roleplaying game publishers, large and small, to make your work its best.
silverbranch.co.uk
Looking for editing or proofreading help with your ttrpg or boardgame project this autumn?
I've worked for large and small publishers, with a reputation for high accuracy and helpful feedback.
(Happy to talk about writing, development, system design too.)

Finally watched Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness in the waning light of a Disney sub. Fun stuff, and they've obviously had a good play with the visuals.
I can't shake a bit of regret at missing out on the Strange mythos, though. The MCU character is more wisecracky and less eldritch.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

I never quite tired of tombs/castles, but I do think its always fun to apply the powers of the mythic underword to IRL structures and dungeonize them-- e.g. The Crystal Palace
What would 1d6 reskined monsters, treasures, & traps of this place would be? What would be something to talk to here?

Reading Daggerheart. With some difficulty, due to combo of my eyes and glasses and reflective paper.
A short way in. It could have used a little extra proofreading - particularly for surplus colons - but it’s pretty good. Having to make deliberate effort to read in a non-editorial way.

Any caregiver, or any human really, who tells you about their holiday stresses is attempting to sort through a massive truckload of cognitive dissonance fostered by this time of year. I cannot "rest" when I am supposed to "rest," so it all has to be clawed back in some defiant gesture.

A TTRPG that supports one, clear, singular approach to play thoroughly is a better object for play than one that's a mess on the topic.
But it's a worse object of hobby.
You need a BUNCH of clearly-focused indie games to make a hobby. You only need one giant mess.

Supposed to be catching up with reading for the holidays, but so far my brain has been unwilling to sit and do it.

Musing: maybe something I should do next year is go back to publishers for a higher rate when a proofread needs more work than it should. Which is quite common in ttrpgs. Wonder how receptive publishers would be.

it should not be contraversial to say that D&D is not a game about cosy pastoral whimsy where you go to feasts and maybe flirt with a handsome blacksmith and nobody ever raises their voice, holy shit.

Thinking lots about baking lately. Wittgenstein apparently once wrote that ‘Raisins may be the best part of a cake; but a bag of raisins is not better than a cake.’ @nigelwarburton.bsky.social calls this Wittgenstein's 'critique of pure raisin', which rather made my day. @wiglet1981.bsky.social
