#TYNESIDEGAMESEXPO Years ago I downloaded a free bus app to tell if buses were coming to my stop in Birmingham. And when. As I’ve travelled the country I’ve found it covers buses everywhere. And trams etc. I’ve just discovered it does this Metro as well! Some technology is good!

The main selling point of a #TTRPG is not mechanical. It is PREMISE. What do you do in the game? Why? This is why "genre-less rules engines" like GURPS have not slowly consumed and spit out the market leaders. "It can be ANYTHING!" "NO! In #Dnd you go in holes and murder things for gold."
