Mirke muses on integrating physical activity with playing RPGs. Instead of rolling dice to resolve challenges, quantify your daily activities, and use those quantities as your resolution results.Feedback:Speakpipe (90 seconds): ⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/MirkeTheMeek⁠Email: mirke [dot] the [dot] meek [at] gmail [dot] com⁠My Itch.io Page: ⁠https://mirkethemeek.itch.io/⁠

At the top is a message from Joe Richter of Hindsightless (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joe-richter9).I've gotten several factions (THANKS!!!), but none of them villainous. I'm still open for more factions, even if they aren't bad:What is your faction like? What is your faction's main goal? How do you go about completing that goal? What means are at your disposal? What is your turf and hideout like? What do you use for security?Feedback?
