Närcon 2024
As with past years, my particpation at this convention was tied to Spelens Hus, and now also allied with MiFF, the equivalent organization with our local SiN, with a Spelens Hus of their own in Göteborg (Gothenburg). Based on last year, I concentrated on workshops, offering two sessions of “Understanding Role-playing” and one of “No,…

May 2023 Q&A
The first video is long as I wanted to keep my reply to Mark in a single packet. His question was a comment in the previous Q&A post, regarding my recommendations for myth inquiries & ideas regarding popular culture. I’ve attached an outline which may make it easier to follow. I did not manage actually…

I wouldn’t mind seeing plenty of “hey, what about…

Change, die, change some more
Dustin was intrigued by my statements in our first consulting session about character improvement, as well as being suspicious that I would start maundering about relationships as reward enough. I was able to surprise him a little, and the discussion was able to expand quite sensibly into his more general design regarding character death. A…

Monday Lab: How Long …
… Has This Been Goin’ On? Alternative equally music-meming title: My Only Friend, the End. Or, wait, how about, Stop! In the Name of What? This is about how long we play, in real time. It can refer to the length of a session, how many sessions relative to a given fictional situation, how long…
