Blockchains for digital payments (https://nadz.xyz)
Published 10 months ago 28The nature of money is, and has always been, a topic of contention. It has certainly evolved over time. If we are to assume that money is credit (central bank and commercial bank debt), then it would be fair to say that money is primarily tracked digitally today. Cash is merely an IOU document that can't be redeemed for anything except itself, it solely represents this debt relationship. The diffe...

Playing Symbaroum with Cairn, an Introduction (https://growrot.bearblog.dev)
Published 1 month ago 3Like most folks, I was first drawn into Symbaroum by way of the art. It has a dark, gritty vibe to it that is vastly different and more appealing to me than the bright, colorful art I was used to seeing in the 5E Player's Handbook. The setting, though mostly taking place in a single forest, feels expansive thanks to all the richly detailed locations and all of the factions in play, allowing for a ...
