Though we’ve always struggled to keep our heads just above water, I’m so grateful to still be making ttrpgs full time, creating worlds inspired by my favourite media, and working with some of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

Is it so hard to just be kind? We need better ways to reward basic decency and empathy.

Incidentally, I’m working on some Greek myth inspired sci-fi quest hooks 🏛️🏺🚀
If you could see any Ancient Greek tales retold in a sci-fi setting, which would you pick? Bonus points if they relate to a God, and more bonus points if you have some fun ideas on how you’d tell them ☺️
