I'm working on a fantasy campaign world that is rule set agnostic. It will focus on story, plot hooks, & compelling NPCs. It will be available for free online, and the campaign world will change based on NFT holder participation. https://paragraph.xyz/@danadams1278gmail.com/participatory-nfts-web-3-and-dnd-meet

Oh damn. Good timing! I’ll be casting some nerdy board game content next week…

I kinda figured WBC was a long shot (Gen Con is much more likely), but worth a shot! I’ll definitely cast photos and videos throughout the week.

A friend came into town last night and he taught me SETI. There is a lot going on in this game, so I'll need a couple more plays before I have an opinion on the game mechanics...but I loved it thematically (the rotating center, the actions like launching probes, gaining publicity, improving tech, sending out signals into space, and discovering alien races that add additional mechanics mid-game...yeah, count me in!

Any farcasters going to WBC (World Boardgaming Championships) this next week? If so, let's meet up! They even have t-shirts (from last year) in Farcaster purple (@dwr.eth @v - let me know if you want me to pick you up one 😉) I'll be casting throughout the week with photos and videos from the con.

It was a lot of fun. The kids loved it (my daughter brought a friend). It is different every night, depending on the audience choices and the group of actors, but the central story is the same. The dungeon master did a great job roleplaying.

Went to twenty sided tavern with my wife and daughter. We had a lot of fun. Kinda fun recognizing people there that we didn’t know were gamers. 😆

I consider myself a creative, but it doesn’t extend to color. 😆

That's a great idea. I admit that I always have trouble choosing paint colors for a miniature. My best results are generally when I see how someone else painted the same miniature.

Ok...pre-reading the article that you guys will be talking about. This part really struck me. "when people match their crazy to the right outlet, they become terrifyingly powerful" That is very much what I want for my children. My son (15) is going off to college early (he was accepted into a program). I describe him as brilliant, but rudderless. I find it difficult to provide good advice, because I’m 50 and still struggling to find my own place in the world. 😆 If I’m honest, I’ve never done the “unpacking” that the article described until the past couple years. I found a job that paid well and just stuck there. In truth, I find most of it tedious (expect when I’m able to apply it to my own interests). I think colleges will be going through a radical shift. They can’t continue just teaching the same things and churning out pieces of paper and expect that to have value. What I REALLY want for my son is the space to explore his interests, find out what he is talented in, and make a career out of that intersection by learning keeping and developing the sort of “specific knowledge” that Naval talks about. How the hell to match our crazy with the right outlet is DIFFICULT.

Another session of Familiar Things is a wrap (the kids are having a BLAST)! This one started with some miniature painting, and then more familiar adventures. This time, they ventured to the apothecary where they encountered Zymerwerwit's pet baby beholder (who was delighted to have visitors).

Oh wait! This is Age of Innovation! I should have looked at the image closer. I haven't played that yet.

Nice. It has been ages since I've played it, but I enjoy Terra Mystica quite a bit. Which faction did you play? I enjoy Gaia Project quite a bit as well (I got the new expansion, but have yet to get it on the table).
