I had the delight of talking to @samsorensen.bsky.social who has very different tastes in games than I do. I loved hearing about his play-by-post OSR Mega games and the way they creat emergent narritve.
it's me!! we talk about wargames, third-class relics, the resonance of chaos, unplanned stories, cannibalism, ritualistic hair-cutting, old-school design aesthetics, simulationism, and avuncular relationships!! give it a listen!!
Now that the discourse has died down, and my birding has lessened, I want to talk about lists in rpgs.
I like what both sides of the debate make. So, like everything else, "good" isn't about which side you choose but how you execute the idea. If you choose to use lists, use them well.
