I'm always pitching ideas in the Rascal work discord and my colleagues keep liking them and now I have to actually do them.

I really like this honest answer about how the OGL was a tool to dominate the market and protect against certain legal risks. There's been a lot of talk about SRDs and where they come from -- and this is basically it, right?

Such a huge fan of @bigprawn.bsky.social's ability to just take you on a walk through Singapore and casually explain the history of various neighbourhoods. Aspirational, honestly.

If anyone visits Chennai, I will do this for you but I'll have to discreetly study hard the previous night.

Been thinking about this comment from @juddthelibrarian.bsky.social about how my say-yes-and-end-the-game gambit in Apocalypse World was a kind of move. It's reminding me once again that moves in PbtA is a kind of way of thinking. I keep forgetting that.

This is a bit a conversation with Martha Graham and I don't take it literally but I liked it enough to save long ago

Okay, which Aaron commented this and what does it mean?

Whatever it is, the answer is yes. Big Aaron fan over here.
