Bruce R. Cordell ‪@brucecordell.bsky.social‬ It's funny. The trope is that immortals become bored with life because they've seen it all before. The reality is that people yearn for a pause because they can't handle life's constant change.

The pros of not reading off a script include a more authentic presentation. The cons include, as I demonstrate here, sometimes crafting sentences that make no goddamn sense :)

What are @brucecordell's top To-Dos as a player? You'll have to watch to find out! youtube.com/shorts/p-0ma... Don't miss the evolved edition of Cypher, crowdfunding now ➡️ mymcg.info/cypher #rpg #roleplayinggame #cypher #dnd #rpggame #rpgdesign #dndcharacter #dndart #art #advice #gamer #gaming

All my novels and short stories (10+), and about forty of the game books I wrote (or co-wrote) were scraped. So, I'll put my name in the hat for the ones I'm paid through royalties (i.e., none of the game products, but all the novels and short stories).

I left Wizards in 2013, ending my 4-edition run of writing official Dungeons & Dragons content. Since then, I've been writing official Cypher System RPG settings, games, and adventures for MCG. And look--we're putting out our own new edition of Cypher, starting today!
