Season's greetings
Nick and I used to play Empire of the Petal Throne at college -- a roleplaying game that was several cuts above the imitation-of-a-copy-of-a-Tolkien knock-off that was Dungeons & Dragons . (You can try Dave's Tekumel rules variant, Tirikelu , which is free on DriveThruRPG.) Have a happy Yuletide holiday and may 2026 bring you good things.
