Problem #4: Finding Inspiration by @Tracy Sizemore

In this episode Kristian and Tracy talk about finding inspiration for your game, setting, adventures, characters and themes. More importantly though, where do you find inspiration for yourSELF? How do you get past the roadblocks and setbacks you encounter in the creative process and inspire yourself to keep trying and moving ahead? Finally, how do you pay that all forward and provide inspiration to others, both within and outside your game?

Designing Problems

Hosts Kristian Serrano and Tracy Sizemore explore the ins and outs of RPG design, production and publishing. We cover the entire process from the creative woes of working on your own game or setting, to your decision to share it with the world, to the details of layout, working with artists and running a crowdfunding campaign.

look i know there's reasons behind "we bundle the entire thing up only then to split it back out into pieces, automatically" but

so much of web dev feels like "complex ways to do what you did before for no meaningful benefit other than the satisfaction of solving a harder problem than you needed to"

at some point you have to ask why there are webapps that send over a docker container's worth of code to insert html into a web page, where the html is rendered server side for speed, of course

Have started calling React-era stacks "contemporary frontend" rather than "modern" because "contemporary" implies that it's messy, contested, and unrefined.

"Modern" implies class, taste, style, and timelessness that the codebases I inspect are devoid of. We should reserve good words for good things.

New Blog Post:
An Alternate Ecology of Orcs, pt 1. Really just an exploration of their origins and what I think (just my opinion) are some of the base causes of controversy surrounding them. Later parts will get into new backgrounds and lore.

An Alternate Ecology of Orcs, pt. 1 — Of Gods and Gamemasters

Orcs. Classic fantasy monsters, and very controversial, these days. Most of us are aware that orcs, as we know them, are an invention of JRR Tolkien for his Middle-Earth legendarium. In Middle-Earth, orcs are corrupted from the races created by Eru Illuvatar, the one. They are twisted from their ori
