There are so many things I want to do that I simply do not have time, skill, or funding to pull off.
I'm sure we've all wrestled with this before.
This comes to mind today because I watched a wonderful interview with the creator of the Tabletop Roleplaying Game Cairn by Yochai Gal. (Which you can watch here if you're so inclined)
A lot of it is just talking about his process in creating Cairn - which is a completely free TTRPG rule set that is incredibly simple to pick up and play - but the part that got me excited and wishing I had more money to just toss around freely was when he started talking about putting printed copies of his game into the various community libraries and Little Free Libraries around his area.
That's such a cool idea!
Immediately, I wanted two things:
- An RPG focused little library on my property
- A ton of copies of some of my favorite indie ttrpg games to toss into OTHER various LFL/Community libraries around town (and in the city ~20 minutes away).
There's such a wide world of tabletop gaming to be enjoyed right now and so many folks only know about D&D. Which, don't get me wrong, is great... but it's definitely not a style of TTRPG that works for everyone, and the indie games I've been focused on lately have a lot going for them.
Lightweight rulesets, small page-counts, and cheap or free content for a lot of them makes for a significantly lower bar to entry compared to the behemoths in the space like D&D and Pathfinder.
I can pick up a game like Cairn, or Brains and Brawn, or Ironsworn and run them the same day, for just about any age group, with next to zero prep required. A couple of polyhedron dice, some paper, and a pencil... and the game is on! Folks don't need to buy 3 core rulebooks, study dozens of pages of rules, sort through a ton of different character options, they can just sit down, and play.
It's a shame more folks don't even know these games exist, and putting a bunch of them out into the world for free for everyone from young kids to seniors is an inspiring idea that I wish I had the time and funding to do myself.
We've all heard that line "If I won 1 million dollars, I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs" and this right here? 100%, I'd be reaching out to some of my favorite creatives in the indie TTRPG space to get large orders that I could just stick in community libraries.
Now, this isn't a post all about how I can't do anything but dream about this stuff. There are things that I can do, even if I can't afford to build and stick an RPG bookshelf in my yard (yet). Because I can't hit the Dream Goal of being an indie-ttrpg distributing Santa Claus, I started thinking about what options I do have to get these in front of people.
One, of course, is just talking about them here and on my various other social media spaces - which is something I already do a ton, and will continue to do.
Another is to take up my cousin 
And, another option (which is a little further down the road - but one I'd still like to explore) is to run these games for local folks at either the library or school in town.
I honestly think that ttrpgs can be a wonderful way to inspire creativity and increase imagination in any person of any age. It's a style of play that by it's very nature prompts you to be creative and imaginative. It can help you get used to working in teams and can be very social. Tabletop gaming, more than any other type of gaming (including semi-related board-gaming), is across the board a positive and enhancing experience.
