Yesterday I added more than 300 more blogs to https://indieblog.page/ which I got from https://bringback.blog/ - if you want to discover new #blogs to read you might want to check out both projects.

On a personal level, I'm also extra angry with Wizards of the Coast because I can't say "told you so!" – I had a bad feeling about the OGL and then I let it pass. I was unhappy in 2012 and let myself be hypnotised by the large crowd of happy onlookers who kept saying, nope, it's going to be great – instead of digging deeper and uncovering the festering poison hidden its depth.

"In case you haven’t heard, we’re in a recession. Actually we’re not, but we’ve spent the last year talking about how we will be, which has the effect of altering behavior as if we were. Even if you’ve come to terms with the fundamental irrationality of the stock market, it’s still difficult to fight the feeling that CEOs are willing this recession into existence to create a justifying narrative for layoffs." https://annehelen.substack.com/p/layoff-brain #layoffs

I'm reading @appelcline 's review of the OGL situation (https://www.rpg.net/columns/advanced-designers-and-dragons/advanced-designers-and-dragons75.phtml ).

It is really striking how some publishers are reacting. On one hand, it sends a strong message. However, many of these moves may send very little message and hurt that small publisher. 🧵

@montecook I know most people are talking about revokability, but something that's kept my from using the CSOL is that it lacks virality, particularly the controlled virality of the OGL v1.0a:

If I create something cool with CSOL, there's no way I can open it so that other people can use it.

The specific combination of OGC declaration + PI declaration (to protect specific IP) in OGL v1.0a is very powerful, and lacking in other open licenses.

Good Morning.

It's gorgeous if you don't have to shovel.

There's this "daily mega dungeon challenge" to make a room a day, a floor a month, for a whole year. So I'm using it to put my cartomantic galaxy generator called #FractalGalaxies to the test. Instead of making a sci-fi galaxy though, I'll be using the same system to generate a #Pathfinder2e dungeon.

In this thread I'll be posting that process.

I've started doing #Sprawl23, in which I create a Cyberpunk Sprawl over the year. It's inspired by #Dungeon23, or course, and If I'd noticed the hashtag #City23, earlier I might have just used that, but I've already named my doc and everything :)

I'm using Caro Asercion's _i'm sorry did you say street magic_ (https://seaexcursion.itch.io/street-magic) as a framework. I'm aiming to make a Neighbourhood each week and fill each with a Landmark, Resident or Event each day.
