#i’m chatting with people on grindr and writing work emails while my parents argue but it’s the 4th of july so both areas are kind of dead

OH MY GOD YES BECKY CHAMBERS' STUFF IS SO GOOD!!!! have you read the rest of the wayfarers series/her other work?? incidentally, I'm currently in the process of reading the second monk & robot book. speaking of other works by the same people- also absolutely adore we know the devil (to the point that i have a tattoo inspired by it), and now have to ask if you've played heaven will be mine, too? also, didn't mean ttrpgs but would love to hear your thoughts on them regardless!! I've never had people to play with (with one short exception) but have desperately wanted to play ttrpgs for aaaaages and love hearing abt them as a result

GOD OF COURSE IVE READ THE WHOLE WAYFARERS SERIES!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 they’re INCREDIBLE!! i haven’t read psalm for the wild-built because i don’t like ebooks, but i’d love to get the hardcover someday!!

i’ve STARTED hwbm but i never finished it 😭 it’s forever on my to-play list but i just never have the time… which is a huge bummer because i ADORE wktd and i know hwbm will similarly change my life but it feels like it’s such a Commitment to sit down and play the game you know?

my favorite ttrpg hands-down is Wanderhome by Jay Dragon; it’s literally everything i want in a game: an evocative fantasy-adjacent setting; mechanics centering exploration and character interaction and roleplay; furries; a hopeful-but-melancholy tone; i love it SO much

other games i love are Our Queen Crumbles by Jason Brown, a weird-fantasy story game where the ending is determined and you play by depleting your character sheet; Roustabout by Micah Anderson, a pick-up-and-play rpg inspired by the band The Decemberists; ViewScream by Rafael Chandler which isn’t really a TTRPG because it’s played over Discord or Skype but it’s a very cool horror game; and Thousand Year Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings, which is a solo journaling game rather than a traditional rpg but it’s easily the best example of the genre. i also want to try Troika!, Tunnels & Trolls, MÖRK BORG, and Pathfinder as OSR alternatives to D&D but i don’t have time, money, or a play group for that 😭
