Like I get this is more whine than critical essay, so some of my thoughts would amount to petty pedantry.
just write your own whine thats what theyre for
I'm talking to my HG about Gretchen Wunderkind stuff and I came up with this premise: Attempting to contact alien life but only picking up the last transmissions of alien radio stations.
the last ghosts of space
you're all scientific drones, sent out into space to survey distant planets for alien life. you've been sent in different directions - you will never encounter each other.
all players should bring in a set of different poems in the same format, default size 12 times new roman. before play, cut these poems up into lines, and put your favorite ones in a container. give it a good shake. you'll need paper, pencils and notecards. you might want some four-sided dice.
each player has their own piece of paper. on the first round, each player encounters a solar system. draw a small diagram of the solar system on your paper, leaving plenty of space for others. this can have as many planets or stars as you want. the solar system used to be inhabited by intelligent life. each player draws a line from the poem container. this line represents the last transmissions of the alien culture. use it as a prompt; jot down a few notes of what your drone can observe about the planets and former civilization. at the end of a round, all drones move on to another solar system.
when your drone gets bored, or lonely, or wants to share a cool find, or whatever, write down a message on a notecard and leave it face-down in the center of the table. put a d4 on top, set to four. each round, reduce the die by 1. when it gets to zero, flip over the notecard; now everyone can read it.
notes:
this prompt saved my life, thank you
i feel like there should maybe be mechanics to encourage drone conversation or something...oh well

Cthulu: I'm not MADE of eldritch darkness and stardust, you know.
the number of spells you get per day go up or down whenever you’re sent back, depending on how happy or annoyed your patron is with you
this would be hellish in dnd as written, i think, but maybe a fun basis for its own game

See now I'm imagining a series where the main characters are teenagers and exposition is handled by whoever finished their homework first that day.
:o oh this is very good
what would the story be about, then

In all seriousness, though, as someone whose dad was the "Tropical Shirt guy" it's a good look for Iroh.
it is! tropical shirts are an underappreciated fashion
brontes-anvil replied to your post “brontes-anvil replied to your post: the brick road...”
New thought: Have the numbers on the dominoes represent things a player can use as a prompt if they're in need of help.
that’s a good idea...something to add in a rewrite, perhaps
