I founded the Indie Game Reading Club in 2010. I've written and developed RPGs since the mid-90s, now I mostly talk about playing them.

Your text mining opens mind-breaking vistas of horror. Please, my sanity canna take it.

Mark Delsing it was initially a quick refresher! Bret Gillan and I were talking about what he’s running at Dreamation. Damned if I can keep the two straight.
Then it became a hate-read. Because I’m operating on five hours of sleep and my feverish kid was asleep for an hour.

I’m trying to get into Bret’s games, but I don’t know if I’m cool enough to pull it. We’ll see I guess.
P.S. No true Gloranthaphile playes either Heroquest or Runequest. All you need is Greg as your GM and everything will be okay.

also, I do not want to poop on anyone’s pillow, but when I met Greg (1997 maybe?) he told me that his favourite game is Pendragon, but sadly there were no copies available at the faire.

This sounds like maybe the best project ever.

Brand Robins last warning

Mark Delsing mapping every RPG to Glorantha? Or just Jason Morningstar’s?

Paul Beakley Which to choose, which to choose…

This is the Streisand Effect, isn’t it? I’ll shut up now.

I’ve started something dreadful.
