Ooh! I wonder if Valkyrion is going to revisit the ending of their Solstice Rain remix, now that we know the official version of Solstice Rain's aftermath. https://trainlightning.com/epilogue-after-the-solstice-rain/

Quinns Quest Reviews: The Greatest Dungeon of All Time? (Heart: The City Beneath) (www.youtube.com)
 

I personally adore this game. It's possibly the most flavorful, intense, and creative RPG book I've seen.

I did run and play in a short campaign, which unfortunately fell apart for reasons I believe are mostly to do with the group, not the game (it wasn't what the group was looking to play), but this review makes me excited to run another campaign with a different group of players.

Not all games can or should be Burning Wheel, but every game can learn from it in c/rpg@ttrpg.network

I'm interested in a more in-depth how-to guide on running a game driven by player character Beliefs, Instincts, and Traits.

There’s been a shift in how we think about climate change: A climate psychologist explains how we’ve moved beyond hope, anger, and complacency toward something more promising. (www.vox.com)
 

My takeaways are that more news exposure is good (see the availability heuristic and mere-exposure effect) for putting climate change concern on the agenda, while information campaigns aren't very useful unless they're paired with avenues for action. Policy changes (incentives and disincentives, regulations, price changes, social norms) can help with action.
