Yeah, yeah, yeah, I *should* be using Affinity or some other better suited layout software, but.. I can get a lot done pushing MS Word to its bleeding edges (and dropping in Photoshop art and fancy layout elements when I can't).
It's not perfect, but hey... it works.

Question for the #TTRPG hive mind.
Consider a 4pg minimalist RPG:
- Character Creation
- Gameplay / Referee Rules
- Classes
- Spells
Would you lead with - and have your branding on - the Character Creation or Gameplay page?

Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, hands down.
One of the first seeds that would grow a love for the fantastical and folkloric in me.

Always been a sucker for Clan Nosferatu - probably because I lead more towards the Frankenstein story - grotesque, misshapen things forced to make their way in the world - rather than Dracula.
Hey fellow Vampire the masquerade fans what is your favorite vampire clan and favorite antediluvian / clan founder? My favorite clan is the gangrel and my favorite antediluvian is Ennoia the gangrel clan founder

I would like all fantasy games to have a page of common sayings that are said by various cultures, and ideally ones that are AT LEAST ONE step more colloquially odd than "Let me preach their values directly".

I have all this work on Hexingtide to do, session prep for tonight, and already have a framework for another minimalist fantasy game in-flight.
WHY AM I THEN, SUDDENLY, FOCUSED ON (YET ANOTHER) DERIVATIVE OSR-INSPIRED GAME? SOMEONE TELL ME.

"You're the GM. You decide what's fun for you to prep and run. Eff them players." It's a nice platitude. One I want to mostly agree with.
For rando games + rando players? Sure.
But that sentiment gets nuanced when you're burnt out from a long-running game with players you've gotten to know well.

That is, before people make decisions on what Halloween games to play - much less guesting on podcasts / streams / etc.
Maybe my new goal is scheduling some local stuff around the spooky season?

As we hit September & I'm still laboring over Hexingtide's playtest update, I'm realizing that I'm likely too late to coordinate any meaningful marketing of it before Halloween.
My new goal may be just getting it out by the end of the month. Feeling like ole George here at the keyboard!
