I think a lot of regularly playing rolegamers vastly underestimate the halo of people who have games, may game occasionally, and could game more regularly if something hooked them. I know that among both queer communities and disabled communities, there are a lot of nerds who look forward to...

I’m warming to it gradually. It’s not my favorite, but it works, and when it’s part of an overall good system, I don’t really have significant complaints.
