At some point four months ago, somebody tipsily wrote “omega-3 fatty acids” on the implementation list for my game.

I do not know what it means, but I suspect I wrote it there.

@infinite_mao I, holder of a possibly-useless video game design BS, cannot say what “the best way to do vidjagames” is: It’s not a confining medium.

I CAN say that video games have had large commercial and critical success in aping the bits of D&D that are apable.

@infinite_mao Much of a given any given TTRPG is horribly difficulty/budget-explodingly hard to recreate in video game form. The reduction is, historically, largely necessary.

I am starting my first salaried job amidst an eceonomy-wrecking plague, and it is a coincidence I find highly ironic.

@KadtakKai @JellyMuppet BLB would be an apropos system to mess with

[Benton @Benton____]

@AdorkableSmile @wereoctopus I have good success in using this concept in various games. Never, ironically, D&D, however.

@throneofsalt Too often have these sacred bovines stood gormless in the creative road.

Perhaps a touch of charcoal smoke will spur them?

A lot of modern #DnD is composed of sacred cows: Traditional ability scores, XP, Initiative, etc. All of it precious beef.

I, designer lacking both faith and carnivorousness, have no use for cows.

I look at the them, and they blink at me, uninspiring.

@litzabronwyn I have recently made use of Geographica, and I enjoy it greatly.

I am at random reminded of a TNG episode in which Riker is infiltrating a pre-warp civilization, and immediately after his cover’s blown, the alien who busts him offers to bone.

#StarTrek alien writing at its most human.
