I think Whittier, AK should be a design pattern, not an oddity. Build extremely dense small towns in the middle of wilderness with a train running to them.
this is like the perfect intersection of my posting habits: silly doodle, old playing cards, and bike
Ever have a stray comment that lives rent free in your head forever?
Ten years ago a coworker remarked, “Professional sandwich makers use spoons,” and I think about it every time I make a sandwich.
annoyed that rpg people make and get all the cool things. I’m just not into pretending I’m things I’m not. I don’t even like imagination play with my children. I realize this is a deficiency in myself.
Drew a bike polo caballo 🤷♀️
some people, when confronted with something popular they themselves do not like, think that the popular thing is dumb and gain a sense of superiority. unfortunately for me, my reaction is always sadness at my inability to share in that joy.
I should mention to the uber nerds (like me) that drawing this was my reaction to discovering USPCC manufactured Spanish pattern bicycle cards in the late 1800s www.wopc.co.uk/usa/the-unit...
People Make Games traveled to Michigan to meet Jerry Gretzinger, an 84-year-old man, who's spent most of his life working away on a single, giant map to an imaginary world.

The thing is, it's not really the map that Jerry has designed here. Not quite.
Instead, his art has been directed by a magnificent deck of cards of his own creation, filled with different rules that he's constantly tweaking and updating.
He's now spent several **decades** following its commands each morning, some of which even dictate parts of his own life outside of the map as well.
If you're somebody who cares deeply about game design, you are going to be as obsessed with these magical cards as we were, trust me.
