Just had an eBay buyer leave negative feedback because we “used the cheapest shipping available.”

We actually spent 150% more than the buyer paid for. Didn’t even contact us.

I have to deal with shit like this every fucking day and it’s exhausting.

Does homebrew take too long?

Homebrewing villages takes hours for what often amounts to only a few minutes of gametime interaction. Even if you use AI (yuck), you have to spend time generating those questions. Plus, you have to know what questions to ask the generator.

Lacking time to create content for your Tabletop RPG game?

Players love going "off mission", exploring side paths, or wandering around your sandbox. Creating everything you need for a village without making it feel too vague or undercooked is impossible. Those detours require detail.

Brackenfield

>>A low cluster of thatched cottages clings to the edge of patchy fields, their roofs sagging beneath the weight of mildew and smoke. The air is thick with the sour stench of spoiled grain, and pale, sickly stalks of rye rattle in the wind like bones.

So I’ve been at around ~98k for a while, ever since Instagram changed its algorithm a few years back. However, when I write out stuff I know or research (and the odd toilet thought), I get more followers.

So my question is: what kinda stuff do yall wanna know?
