Our group had a shared GM game we ran for a while. Not exactly rotating GMs like in this post, but swapping out regularly. The lack of continuity and overarching storyline was one of the major reasons interest died out. It was a hodgepodge of stories and became kind of a mess.

I am all for whatever stirs up more content and discussion that isn't memes.
I am looking forward to delving into the Dark Sun book.
That's a pretty good testimonial. Thank you for taking the time to share it with me.
They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don't, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn't in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they're in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.
My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it's a short message, spell the whole thing out and don't mention the abbreviation at all.
I don't know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it. I suppose that vibe is part of why I don't feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.
My collection of games I don't play continues to grow. The Pirates of Drinax bundle is a pretty good haul. If I ever convince my group to play Traveller for a campaign, it will likely be that.
I would have assumed the audience for this post is TTRPG nerds.
What is a pigeon totem? It sounds made up.
For anybody else that hates needless acronyms, FOSS apparently stands for Free and Open Source Software.
Thank you for continuing to share these!
The Ukrainian hospital bundle looks really good. Lots of stuff in there with a bunch of solo RPGs. The bundle is probably worth it for the Cairn and Mausritter stuff alone.
