Great read! I also laughed really hard at this line: "The GM can’t both pre-plan a storyline and not pre-plan one." Because my biggest critique of MotW is that it tries to do that and suffers as a game because of it.

Seeing this art made me realize I need a moth alien in the sci-fantasy crpg I'm making 😅

I'm there too right now! I spent years designing ttrpgs and now I'm learning Godot to build a crpg and I'm having a blast.
I bounced off the learning how part several times, but this time around it finally stuck and it's so much fun once it finally clicks.
You got this!
