I’ve got no follow-through. Whenever I start a project, it takes every single ounce of my self-discipline to get me to finish it.  It’s always a slog.

Don’t try to trick people into buying a [...]

I don't regret buying this book. I'm ashamed of myself. But I don't regret it. "The Tingleverse: The Official Chuck Tingle Role-Playing Game" is a kind of Schroedinger-esque creation. Once you hear about it, you're simultaneously surprised and unsurprised at its existence. I had a copy of the core rules on the way to my [...]
