In my new episode, @reneplaysgames.bsky.social brought Mog to the table - a sheltered academic setting out into the world for the first time. Creating curious characters is a pattern for Rene - a way as both a player and a PC to interact with the wide and wondrous worlds we build in our games.

Screenshot of a mobile game. Drawing of Bruce Lee in yellow jumpsuit with black racing stripes sitting fully clothed on a toilet looking very angry. Bruce Lee and the toilet have multiple brightly colored screw heads on them. A drawing of a screwdriver is superimposed, suggesting that the gameplay is unscrewing these screws to make Bruce Lee and the toilet fall apart. 4 boxes at the top show slots for differently colored screws.
