If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
and a reply with the take that the bureaucratic jobs were proof that the US causes everything to be like the US.
which like, American-exceptionallism strikes again. at the Country level you will always need either bureaucracy, fascist or not, because even in utopia, diplomacy is bureaucratic, making sure industry remains fed is bureaucratic, making sure the heat stays on is bureaucratic, making sure needs of the people get met is bureaucratic.
the US didn't cause those things to be necessary, if anything half the problems with the US are from bureaucracy being neglected and farmed out to private contractors that never gain experience.
yes, bureaucracy is necessary even under ideal anarchism. unless your ideal is everyone personally doing more paperwork than people chronically ill and under the poverty line, which is already a lot.
I wish more people would think more than 30 seconds about these things
What is Zine-o-Map vs Mini-Adventure?
Zine-o-Map vs Mini-Adventure, or "ZVM", is a 2 book zine by David Glass featuring cartography by David and one-page adventures written by Jess Levine, satah @sitcom, and Rhiannon Daly @rhiannon.
With 35 hand-drawn maps, game runners have a variety of locations to drop into their existing games. For even easier incorporation, the 35 mini-adventures provided in Book 2 are system-neutral can be added to any fantasy campaign in virtually any system.
If you want to get the zine...
You can do that via the crowdfunder here! If you're a busy DM that wants 35 ready-to-go, low-prep or no-prep sessions for whatever system you're playing in...check it out!
this project is abt 80% funded with three days to go & it would be rly lovely if you were able to throw it a bit of support. there's a lot of work in there i'm very personally proud of & i think that's true for the other writing contributors as well. speaking plainly, if it funds, it would be my first ttrpg-related writing in print, & that's a really meaningful thing as someone who has enormous passion for game design but has generally lacked the life and/or brain circumstances to do much abt it, so pls check out this thread of example maps or something & consider giving it a few bux, thank u
at the very least, your patents should last less and less long the closer you are to a monopoly. Google patents should last 3 months under this regime.
you've killed off all the competition that can threaten you, what are you even afraid of
