Last update for my latest board game before I put it in front of real people to play test. I'll do one more soloist to check if it all works, then do a full revision of the rules. These are in note form only, but it's handy to have them written out so I don't miss anything during the teach.
Thinking tonight about how many "constrained resource" stories of one genre or another I've crossed paths with in my life that strongly promoted the message that the old, the weak, the infirm and the infertile don't deserve to live.
What are some of your favourite stories (in any genre or medium) that counterprogram these kinds of pro-eugenics messages? Who is making them?
@ShaulaEvans@bookstodon Lord of the Rings. That broken shuffling little Smeagol turns out to be quite important to the plot. Plus the whole tiny hobbits are important thing.
@wendyparciak Not sure school would help improve my writing as much as living life and doing interesting things with weird people and then telling stories to people about those things and watching them react to the way I tell stories.
@neptunian I accept your excuse as perfectly valid and will instead spend the evening organising my collection of novelty spoons by shininess, so that I can later make a picture of René Auberjonois in his full Deep Space Nine makeup.
