Tonight! Like every Monday night, Inspired Unreality starts at 9:00 Central. Opening topic tonight is Family Game. Do you play D&D with your family? We love our three generation D&D games. Viv and I playing with our kids and grandkids. Our family game tradition predates grandkids. And that was a while back.

As always Inspired Unreality is in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. If you've never been to Tenkar's Tavern we have an invitation for you here.

Follow Me And Die started a post about Solo RPGs and the discussion continues. I've never played solo but I listened to his podcast and I can see how it can help get the creative juices flowing. ZDL recommended the Mythic rules for solo play.

Also we have a group for Solo Tabletop Games.

Megan and I discussed our twitch streams last week on Inspired Unreality and let me tell you, it doesn't get more unreal than twitch. I continued to improve my HairyLarryLand twitch studio and I commented on it here.

If you like to spend hundreds on the hope of making tens twitch is for you. Good thing I'm retired. Actually my twitch stream serves two purposes. Structured practice and video production. I now have two videos posted that are excerpted from my stream.

So do you have a twitch stream? One of the things Megan and I discussed was RPGs on twitch. How does that work? Do you have a regular or occasional family game? My contact info is below. Better yet post your thoughts on Gamer+.

Speaking of twitch I added an edit of my twitch stream where I'm playing "Low Earth Orbit" to Youtube.

I told you I would keep you informed about my book, "Beginning Algorithmic Composition". Well, I sent the proof copy to the printer and I have the pdf of both the book and the cover available for download on my definitely preliminary website.

This is the artwork Kier, aka Draklor, drew for Beginning Algorithmic Composition.  Spoiler, it's robots!

Tonight! Inspired Unreality! Open game chat at 9:00 Central in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. Our opening topic will be magic systems. ZDL mentioned the Native American influences in Gunnerkrigg and it got me to thinking about how a magic system based on Native American folklore would work. Spirituality, talking to animals, sweat lodges, drugs, transmutation. Magic systems are a fascinating part of RPGs and fantasy literature. Join us tonight for an interesting discussion.

As always bring your own topic. All gaming is on topic. If you have never been to Tenkar's Tavern we have an invite for you here.

ZDL and I have been writing about webcomics and we both found some interesting new (to us) work to read. Are you into webcomics?

New in my non-gaming world I am almost done with my book, "Beginning Algorithmic Composition", and I started work on a website to host it.

Also I am gathering together all my stuff setting up a studio for a twitch stream. Twitch is all about gaming but I'm doing something different. A twitch stream where I practice piano. I am viewing it as a live stream and a video production environment. We shall see!?! Eventually.

Be sure to update me with what's new in your life. Contact info is below or even better, post your latest interests on Gamer+.
