Don't Stop it With RPGs, Add a Cuck Chair
Don't Stop it With RPGs, Just Add A Cuck Chair
This guy, he smells like sweat and poutine, don't listen to him. Or maybe listen to him a little, I'm not your dad.
If you want to do all that stuff that Mr. PressTheBeast says is lame and cringe, add a cuck chair. Share it with someone else!
I don't mean "finish the whole thing and then post all 3000 words in the workshop channel of your discord server of choice and ask for feedback" either, I mean bring another mind into your tinkering. Everybody wants to imagine they're RPG Descartes and can sit alone in a room and reason their way to Kickstarter greatness, when most people barely approach RPG Jordan Peterson after 1000 Salty Steak dinners and a panel of horse tranquilizer. Community and sharing the act of creation is fun and makes your stuff better!
Other minds are great for making RPG stuff, even if the cuck chair has sad, frustrated stains all over the seat and smells like an old dishrag. The conversation between the two of you helps get you out of a creative rut, there's another set of inspirations and goals to balance alongside your own, and you get a sick buddy also. This outweighs or at least negates a lot of the antisocial trends of sitting in your room all day reading spreadsheets.
Perhaps more importantly to the post I'm replying to, another person makes it a little harder to get caught up in a mental rut.
"Hey man, stop crying over Chainmail."
"Who cares what hit points are, lock in."
"Incentive? that's the shit that smells funky and comes in little sticks, right?"
These jolts are important, and a good creative partner will help keep you on track as much as you do them.
So start a project with a buddy today!
