Nature connection, TTRPGs, self improvement.
An adventurer exploring the sandbox game of life by using nature and games to make sense of all this nonsense.
Flower buds, spring blossoms, warm sunshine.
Warm tea under a wool blanket on the porch while the rain drizzles on the room and trees.

Describe stuff, roll dice, curse or cheer, do it again.

It's such a good way to learn the birds. Even cooler when you go back and hear the same birds again - it's their living room you just walked through, they live there. They'll be there tomorrow too, go say hi!

He's doing his best, ok?

There's the whole sentient interdimensional ttrpg system thing in lit-rpg that's pretty big too.

Better start a new game project instead. Just in case you have a new idea that doesn't fit your current one.

Heart was such a good romp. Started as an angry gnoll slave, ended as a barely walking fungal colony wiping the concept of slavery from the mind of the world.

You made something yourself, you created something from nothing. That's a win!

24xx is great for what it is. I really, really like it.

For me though, I need more horizontal progression baked into the system. While the FKR approach of do it to do it is great, I want to see the characters grow in fun ways and use the new tools to do new things. So yeah, system matters a bit.

Many systems have built in methods for player fudging - meta currency. Most don't have a GM meta currency, although some like Coriolis have doom points. If the system doesn't have it, don't do it!

3. Water - stock up water (jugs in freezer, some in garage, buckets outside for flushing)
4. Food - stocked away non-perishable food before hand. Big bag of rice and a big bag of beans in the freezer.
5. Medical - medications and emergency management. Burn ointment is nice with the extra fire.
