Hello! I'm Levi, and I primarily make *pieces* of tabletop roleplaying games - bits you can assemble or integrate into other designs.

I have some fully-assembled games, but if you're into kitbash-ready components, that's me all over.

Find me here:

If you're doing the exodus to BlueSky, look me up:

Dropping by to deliver to my game design nerds:

This is me, smashing games into itty bitty little pieces and cataloguing all those bits for re-assembly. Everything I put in the deck of rules, and more, as a reference book.

PWYW, no copyrights.

More D&D Playstyle series, much of it in response to Questing Beast making a video about Brennan Lee Mulligan (all the details in the post):

Apparently there's "D&D Rules do/don't matter!" discourse running around, so, I'm just sticking my head in to post this:

As part of a check-in before I once again vanish away:

Don't think I ever dropped this here, but I am also on the blue atmosphere site fairly often:

I'm on the furry elephant site most, still, but I think everyone here that's there already found me.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

@traversefantasy Doing an every-few-months check-in over here, and this DELIGHTS me.

I now *have* a Bluesky account, and though I expect it will be a side deal relative to Mastodon for me, there are a fair few people there that ain't here.

If you're there: https://t.co/C21GVo9Xbh

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

@idlecartulary ...Ugh. But valid.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

Just checking in:

I'll probably end up making a Bluesky account as a side to Mastodon, since it's like Twitter Before in many ways (same flaws, but we lived with them before....)

But people aren't going to Threads, right? Please god tell me nerd-dom isn't flocking to Threads.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

Still having a great time over on Mastodon; still would love to see you all there if you're tired of the billionaire trash fires and haven't jumped yet.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for forwarding the belief that Wizards, as a sum entity, actually might be genuinely interested in fixing their shit.

It has become painfully clear that this is... Not the case.

(Tone: Joking, but also, not joking at all).

Any corporation that has a working relationship with the Pinkertons can be assumed to be anti-labor.

That's all.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

The TLDR:

Misogynistic, drunken, asshole boss AND ALSO Industrial shop is consistently unsafe, workers underpaid.

Not just "Don't buy", but also "Public shaming and lawsuits very appropriate".

Comcast account cancellations will now be handled by an AI system trained on their customer service calls.

(Joking. For now.)

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

Like, relax, they'll do something genuinely crap soon enough.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

Wizards inviting influencers to a get together, all expenses paid, tells me that they want to improve relationships with what's basically their external marketing team - people that *bring them money in fucking trucks.*

That's, like, good business?

@thedicemechanic @BrianBloodaxe @ZhuBajiee @GavThorpeCreate @N01H3r3 Them being used only briefly, in particular circumstances, then largely put down and left alone, is my *ideal* case, so a slight barrier to use is handy; if they were "Everyone uses and reinterprets this semi-friendly term in their own way": Forge problems.

[@[email protected] @levikornelsen]

@thedicemechanic @BrianBloodaxe @ZhuBajiee @GavThorpeCreate @N01H3r3 It often is, yes. For the purposes of this thing, I wanted to try and talk technically about things that I'd have to give a very specific definition for *anyway,* to talk about how mechanics serve them and how they cluster for playstyles, so I just yanked them from older theory.

@thedicemechanic @BrianBloodaxe @ZhuBajiee @GavThorpeCreate @N01H3r3 That's what Agon means, and has meant, in theories of game design outside RPGs for... Twenty or so years?
