Protest can make a difference.

Target knows.
Tesla knows.
Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.

The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

6. RPG that is easy to use

Old School Essentials has become my new go-to.

IMO, a lot of “simpler” RPGs aren’t actually easy to GM. It’s less prep than a D&D-like but a lot more effort during play. Especially PBTA games.

For me, OSE is easy to prep, easy to teach, and easy to run. I love that.

Some of the stuff I made or used for our traditional New Year's Eve game! The system was Vagabond (book not in the picture) and the adventure was "Barrow of the Bone Blaggards".

I mean even if you don't want to stray too far there's a system for you. Dungeon Crawl Classics is amazing if you want a simple if anarchic experience that feels like old school d&d. Or you could literally play old school B/X with old school essentials and not give WotC a cent.
