(2/2) I swear, it was wrapped like a damn lost treasure.

Well, dumped them out onto my hand only to find out it was two heavy international coins totaling a few cents… and a small collection of tokens to some arcades in San Francisco and Manhattan.

Glad you all came with me on this emotional ride.

I’ll check out the project, but #1 off the bat sounds like it’d have the broadest appeal, esp with the Alt Nat’l Parks Service getting lots of attention.

Oh, also - it’s a Thai place. The cooking channel they’re tuned to is… German confectionary. Like, fully in German, no translation. This is both amazing and complete wtf.

Gorgeous! Did you also fall down the bookbinding rabbit hole during Covid?

Well.... some five years later, and I'm in the official "learn to play" video for the game, as released earlier this week! 😄

Big shout out to @amazingrando.com for hosting, & my fellow players @hessanyongdi.bsky.social, @glerptiblip.bsky.social, & @dgcloudrunner.bsky.social

This is a big part of how I got to know Peter, one of the cast members of the real-play podcast I host (The Children of Ash). Also, one of those one-shots was a Fate: Accelerated game run by @diegetic.bsky.social

Can’t say I grokked the system at the time, but it was a good time with friends.

When I was at CCP, we used to play tabletop RPGs every week - there were a few active campaigns, plus at least two or three one-shots each week, often highlighting various game systems. Was an absolute blast, and probably my favorite part about that group of folks.
