And what an amazing idea - I’m going to start doing this:
“If you’re ever stuck with some decision, flip a coin. The moment when you catch the coin but before you see the result, if you feel a strong urge like you ~want~ it to be heads or tails … well … there’s your answer. And if you’re truly ambivalent, the coin will tell you what to do.”
Excellent interview, Mark! I wanted so bad to like D&D growing up, but the mechanics of gameplay were well beyond me. It seemed there was a lot of minutia and the rulebook was so vast.
Great interview! Another shoutout to the Line; I'm a paid subscriber. Seeing that I want to be a Canadian some day, I should have a better understanding of this country's political landscape!
Fascinating interview - thanks, Mark and James!

A typewriter is a great drunk purchase! At least it looks retro and cool even if you don’t use it. Although “inky notes” sound great.
Totally agree that we are so much more dependent on digital writing tools than we realize. I’m not sure I could think with a typewriter.

You could lose hours just outfitting your party, so I totally get that!
So ... I rolled ... I got a 14 ... what now?
You could try flipping a coin instead! :)

Great article Mark! Flipping a coin is interesting. I'll have to try that.
