#introduction: I'm Kit, I like games about feelings and people, ideally in weird (and especially spooky) circumstances. I make some, too. Been working on Et in Arcadia Ego, my Regency fantasy game, for a while, and have a few other smaller projects bubbling along.

You wanna play? Let's play.

This is my all-RPGs-all-the-time alt.

I just learned about Shuvalov's "secret howitzer". Between that and the 1760 tests of the edinorog, I begin to think that Shuvalov was a little inept: really good at designs that _looked_ like they should improve cannon, but that got about… no net improvement.

s/shine/some. Can't type on phone.

Add this to the backlog. Right now my non-dayjob time is going to writing for 7S and writing an Arcadia public beta. Then editing and laying out Magnum Opus and shine Monsterhearts skins.

One is to address @AugustAlso 's desire for a boutique character-centric queer anticapitalist cyberpunk found-family tactical stealth heist game, the other is intended to be a deep agriculture sim.

A horrible thing has happened. I've started design docs for two computer games. I shouldn't spend my time making computer games, right?

I'll be streaming Naval Action again tomorrow, 7pm Mountain. https://www.twitch.tv/wlonk in case you wanna stop by!

Hey, gonna be streaming Naval Action tonight at about 7:30 Mountain on https://www.twitch.tv/wlonk in case anyone wants to watch me fire some broadsides in the Caribbean, maybe talk about naval history.

So: I do my best to make space, and that sometimes involves clearing out the underbrush with a machete, it sometimes involves uncomfortable conversations, it sometimes involves being publicly excited about things people who don't get enough attention have made. It sometimes involves just stepping back and being there but quiet. I screw up (we all screw up), but let's strive for it, eh?

Nota bene, this all applies to life generally, not just the gaming world.

To me, every time I make someone otherwise marginalized feel welcome and included in this community, that's a small win. Every time I push back against regressive and bigoted comments or stances, that's a small win. Every time someone who I play with finds a new facet of themselves and begins to understand the other more complexly, that's a small win. All of these are real things, not hypotheticals.

30) How do you think you can make the gaming community better?

Here we are, at the end of May. That just went by in a hurry, didn't it?

I can see some people approaching this with trying to figure out what "the gaming community" and maybe even "better" mean, but I'm gonna take those as givens. Maybe even implicit in my answer. It's still a hard question, though. Or a big one, at least.

#MayRPGQ2018

28) Where do you want to go, event wise, to play a game this year?

I don't like conventions. I really don't like conventions. But I like the people who show up at them, in many cases. So, "where my friends are" will suffice.

Why? Because we have found aesthetic overlap in both setting and system, when talking. There are things we think in common are interesting and exciting. All that remains is enough time to do it.
