I suppose what I describe is direct written instructions to the facilitating player on how to give direct verbal instructions to the other players.
I don't know where or if this fits in your taxonomy, but the instructional thing I always create for myself is a dumb bulleted outline of "when you get to the table teach the rules in this sensible order and not in the random order your performance anxiety brain remembers the rules in the moment."

I'm sure you've thought of this, but: strace? Is it hanging on some particular read() / select() ?
Er maybe it is. Conflicting man pages.
Wait is `-k` a valid opinion?
Yikes
Mentioned above, but "This is How You Lose The Time War" is unequivocally the best thing I read in 2025.
Wait what!?!

Finding fewer now.
* Lady Blackbird is not a pre-existing character so maybe she doesn't count.
* There was a "World of Tank Girl" Masterbook thing I think should count.
* And for elaborate subtitles we have "Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar: The New Adventures of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser"
Deep breath:
* Flash Gordon & the Warriors of Mongo
* Dr. Who several times starting with The Doctor Who Role Playing Game (1985)
* Judge Dredd
* Uther/Arthur Pendragon
* Prince Valiant
* Usagi Yojimbo (more than once I think)
* Buffy the Vampire Slayer
* Lone Wolf
* Bluebeard
* Atomic Robo
Users of RtL writing systems can simply parse 125 in the opposite order as "five and twenty and a hundred" just like we parse 16 as sixteen which is a contraction of "six and ten". I'm sure there are RtL exceptions somewhere, language is diverse, but most significant to the left is almost universal
Thousandths are smaller than hundredths so I would expect them to go to the right for that reason just as months are smaller than years.
Modern Arabic and Hebrew (both RtL writing systems) use the same numerical place order as Europe and the Americas: most significant digit on the left.
Precisely. Years go to the left of months for exactly the same reason that thousands go to the left of hundreds.
This is correct.

Well I haven't kept perfect records but my 2025 #TTRPG s by the numbers looks something like:
* At least 18 unique systems, many more sessions than that as several were campaigns
* More than a dozen sessions as GM / facilitator
* At least 10 new-to-me systems including π§΅
A new A5 size RPG book with matching bookmark. They share a dynamic red and blue design pattern featuring silhouetted secret agents and colorful lines of travel seemingly passing through black holes of various sizes.
New #TTRPG from @ickbat.bsky.social arrived while I was out for the holidays. Now it is a late Christmas present. I'm excited to dig in.
This has not occurred to me, but is obviously correct in retrospect.
