The Blark TTRPG Values

you don’t need to lie a player. If you ask me something I’ll tell it or I won’t tell you anything.

if i seem to meet you halfway, it’s because i think you’re smart enough to make it across the other half.

I write 2in6, not as 2-in-6. I just prefer it. (this has made a lot of people angry) (I will not relent) (Sadly, i have relented) (2in6 is back in style I was wrong to ever relent)

Speaking of, a 2in6 chance of something happening is always applicable. Anything worth happening has a 2in6 chance at it.

Furthermore 2d6 is great for most anything.

display small things prominently and big things hidden in plain sight.

everything is copy.

disdain is healthy, but try to be decent.

poor writing does not make poor play an ounce of prep is a pound of play

more so than words or vision have a voice

you are smarter than a book

play is praxis

mechanics are foley

the designer liberates no one

find comfort in your mousehole. No one is finding you there

if it sounds like what im saying is obvious its because it really is  

the hardest part is staying joyful

luke gearing included somewhere a quote that the knife is the greatest tool of creation. I would like to shine a spotlight on the spoon, which scoops and cuts poorly! Idk where im going with this metaphor yet, but wisdom lies in the art before us. Nothing is new. the circle is not flat. it is concave.
