The awesome folks at Leaflet, which powers this blog, have given me early access to their new Q&A feature. I thought it'd be fun to test it out with an AMA.

You can use the form below to ask me a question. About something I've written, something and I have talked about on The Inner Life of Liberalism podcast, or just anything about politics, philosophy, Buddhism, books, TTRPGs, or whatever you're interested in.

Leave a question below. I’ll answer some of them here, and if they're big questions, I might turn them into blog posts of their own.

(Questions are public, stored in your Atmosphere PDS, so keep that in mind before sharing anything personal.)

Is Disco Elysium really *that* good?
Aaron Ross Powell's avatarAaron Ross Powell@aaronrosspowell.comanswered

Yes. And no matter how good I can convey that it is, it's actually better. I genuinely, honestly, unhyperbolically believe it is the single finest work of art produced to date.

Your 5 top recommended TTRPG campaigns?
Aaron Ross Powell's avatarAaron Ross Powell@aaronrosspowell.comanswered

I don't typically run pre-written campaigns, but Masks of Nyarlathotep is great, and I had a lot of fun running the first parts of The Enemy Within, but never finished the whole thing.
