  • All I can say is: I’ve been trained for academic writing for like 8 years now, and I still struggle to do it without a good template. Formatting in a text editor is it’s very own skillset IMO.

    Most important is to make a skeleton, a loose progression of stuff like
    1.X
    2.Y
    2.1 Z

    And look at ONLY that for a while and think ‘what do I want to reach each chapter? Why is this chapter here and not earlier/after? What needs to be said before this can make sense, and is the flow of it logical?
    what will be the next question on my readers mind, and does this Adress it?’

    Also think about who you are writing for. What do you need to explain, and what can you expect as given etc




  • We had a big fat goose as a quest thing in Fellowship 2e once. The city was separated into trades guilds, and in the area of those that do woodcarving, the goose snuck up on people and honked and made them cut themselves. All the fingerless woodcarvers chipped in to get the party to help.

    That was a great day in that campaign. Afterwards, the overlords general and the giants attacked town and destroyed everything, and that encounter was just barely harder than the goose chase. Love that system.






  • I Ried my bike every day. I love bikes. Parking like that is an egoistic cock move, because you block people in wheelchairs, people with baby’s in strollers, old people that need walkers etc etc.

    I don’t care if it’s a bike, an electric rental scooter (in my experience most often the offenders in these cases) or a shitty car half hanging on the sidewalk
