still works and is fun, I think if duck station would have been finished for pi it would have been better probably.

true that 2d had no problems for me though, on pi400

I setup and love retropie, but I will say that I was surprised at how many emulation issues I had even on some PS1 games. mostly it was framerate or processing issues, tried same emulator on my laptop with no problem.

raspberry pi is very affordable but it was surprising to me that the hardware specs were a limiter given how much of an increase they were over the ps1

fighters megamix was amazing!

I really love pbta games but I would agree with you that they are not rule light so much as “rule lighter than d&d”

there’s lots of one page systems out there that are truly rules light.

that said once you know the rules I would say that it provides a system that is easy to plan for, it’s easy to play in, and it flows very naturally.

I ran dungeon world and monster of the week campaigns for years, playing probably 3 to 4 hours once a week on average most of that time.

I think I did maybe 2 hours a month of prep? something about like that.

I loved how pbta games would allow me to basically spend all of my prep time coming up with cool ideas and not having to worry too much about the mechanics because I either had a framework too accomplish them already or I could just make it up on the spot.

some of my group’s favorite moments in our campaign have come from me just making things up on the spot and them being able to react to it.

when I used to DM for d&d or Pathfinder those kind of moments would take hours of prep work.

I would say the obsession is more people finding something that has freed them from the heavy rule set rather than something that is truly rules light.

I got to have an intro session but then never play deadlands. I need my weird West fix!

lots of questions, I haven’t moved jobs in a while because I’m happy where I am but I’ve added to these even when interviewing people to join my team.

• what is your policy for overtime or comp time when there are evening or weekend emergencies?
• how often do people tend to need to be available outside of standard working hours?
• what does success in this position look like for me 6 months down the road?
• how often do tasks and priorities change last minute?
• how long has the average person been on the team?
• what is the policy on sick days, vacation days, etc
• what is the remote work policy
• how flexible are they on work hours? if it’s a salary position, generally you will have work to do, but many bosses won’t care if you take a 2-hour lunch and do some grocery shopping or whatever. as long as overall you’re doing your work and getting things sorted.
• when interviewing with team members instead of just the new management, it’s a good idea to ask them about the managers style, and what they like about working there.
• (generally by the interview you should have some idea of what the actual job entails, but if not, ask a bunch of questions related to that. what kind of system are you developing for, is it primarily supporting new feature or handling sustaining issues, what languages are used, what is the environment, etc)
