The choices are always “accept” and “maybe later”

That is an extremely WTF definition of “other” but I guess he means D&D is the only RPG?? What an idiot.

Wait, it doesn’t count because BitD is “just a D&D homebrew”? According to whom?

It’s obvious you are an independent author of D&D materials with a desire to contribute to the community.

At the same time, it would be nice if you noted anywhere in the post or especially the title that you are advertising D&D materials for sale. It’s fine if you make money off your creations, but irksome when it’s not clear that it is advertising, and also when any post perpetuates the idea that D&D is the default, or only, system.

Well, you can just ram them out of the way with your firetruck. Obviously that’s not a great option either, but if the FD does that then any damages are on the robot-taxi company.

Ding ding ding! We have a safe mode of robot transit: trains. See, we know exactly where they will go because they run on rails. Literally.

Observation is one I really enjoyed. Mild puzzling, tension but not really the sort that kills you, and a fun, mind-bending story. Also the title track is just amazing.

I cried that whole bit with the controller feeling like you’re missing an arm. So exact a representation of grief.

But the last scene, where the father simply falls to his knees at his son’s grave. He’s been granted his life back at a price no human parent would ever, ever accept. I cried racking sobs. It was so awful and true.
