It definitely has a US bias. I’d also argue it has a Gen Con bias, followed closely by an Essen bias. You don’t hear a ton about Origins, PAX Unplugged, or UKGE there.

Great review. I want to play it, but I also don’t think it would quite fit into my life at the moment and your review helped me balance those two competing pulls. That being said, I’ll watch out for a reprint in case one ever materializes.

I'm so happy to hear it. Let it be known that there are folks following you that would love to subscribe so you have a consistent income stream. I'm a big fan of @senetmagazine.bsky.social and a happy subscriber. I'd love to be able to do the same with you, even if that's 1-2 magazines a year.

That's a great use of time just stuck in the car. Also, love the case in the background, what is it?

RPGs are worth it, but I can only muster so much effort to make them work.

RPGs on the other hand are far more calculated. I want to ensure the people are consistent enough for a few sessions. I have to pick a system I can teach and am interested in. I have to pick a system people will actually play. I have to plan out an adventure. I have to schedule the sessions.

There was a post on Reddit asking something I'm not quite answering here, but in my head the question is: why is playing board games easier than playing RPGs? Because I can invite any of my friends over to play a board game and find something.

Why did the "mainstreamification" of RPGs take such a different turn than it did for board games?

I’m not 100% sold on it yet and frankly it’s mostly a containment system for the games I run at home, but serves me well enough for now.
I wouldn’t use it in a game with miniatures.

I have one of Rollacrit’s Bags of Holding and I can fit a good amount of stuff in there: a small box of tokens, 3 books of Loke Battlemats, an accordion folder for different games, pens/wet erase markers, cards, and my dice. It also has a place for an iPad or laptop. It gets heavy but holds a lot.

Of note, I remember at some point building empathy for Glotka and maybe that was the turning point for me. That even this horrible person is somewhat human was a sign the book was special.

It's been a while, but I remember it being so completely different from what I had been reading. Maybe it hit at a time of over-optimism. Or maybe it was just novel. I'm not sure.
I'd encourage you to keep reading it if you haven't set it aside already. If you have, pick it up in a year or so.
