Serious Reading
Serious Reading is a comedic solo journaling RPG where you play the role of an overpaid op-ed columnist. The game includes tables for writing headlines (headlines) about very serious topics in separate sections on "The Road to PALISADELO!" and excerpts from those articles revealing little or nothing about their supposed topic but everything, bizarrely enough, about your character's life story as a grossly overpaid op-ed columnist. The game features William Lentz
