He/they. I teach about Game Design, Technoscience, & East Asia at CMU. Belatedly joining this thing to keep up with my creative & academic communities (comments my own).
Nice! Can't wait.

If Tron: Morbius is worse, then I don't even know.

Gareth Hedlund played a smirk in spandex. Olive Wilde played a literal robot girlfriend. 50% of the Dude's time on the screen was generated by an overclocked N64. Arguably the most dramatic actor, aside from Mike Sheen & a tiny cameo by the GOAT-in-comparison OG Bruce, was A SILENT DARTH MAUL.

When the acting is worse than Tron 2, in which the best actor was Michael Sheen going full Twilight mode (which is several steps down from Underworld mode!), then there are serious problems.

Definitely feels like their ultimate goal is to make the U.S. a place nobody wants to live in.

Just played the new edition for the first time on Tuesday! Ended up sacrificing my companion to an ancient evil at the bottom of the lake. They seemed totally cool with it, like they had suspected it was coming the whole time? (But, of course, their understanding of the game was entirely different.)

Sorry, forgot to tag you too Patrick! The art looks SO GOOD.

Wow, this cover is amazing.

That game sounds pretty hype. So... are you gonna design it, or should I? :)

Otherwise, you have to keep your day job and just find time to crank out your own games on the side, when you can, which may or may not find a sizable audience.

It's also just practical, right? Having one big indie RPG hit is hard enough. But to be able to put them out consistently enough to pay your mortgage over years? Not happening! The only options are to diversify into publishing other people's games too or keep making supplements for original hit.

IDK, that astrology dial track looks too queer to function.
