Great article if you saw the viral post about a North Carolina man moving to China to live the American Dream

State gleefully pushes man who "had to go to China to find the American dream". They might want to read his book first:

across the millions of views, and tens of thousands of comments, which veered mostly between despondency at the expensive/dangerous/diminishing nature of American life, and nationalistic gloating of the unstoppable rise of a perfect China, no one stopped to ask a simple question:

…who is this man?

In 15 seconds of Googling, I’d found that Krae not only had a long history in China, he’d self-published a book through Amazon about it. The bio promised: “a hellish nonfictional account of the unconventional life of chaos that Bradley endured and thrived on while teaching English in Shenzhen, China.” It also enticingly dangled he’d seen the “chilling confines of a Chinese jail”.

Disappointingly, the book is “out of print” with no copies for sale anywhere on the internet.

…But I managed to find one.

Good essay about roleplaying effectively as a "loner" character, and appreciating Han Solo's behavior in A New Hope

Why Han Solo Was An Amazing TTRPG Player And TTRPG Players Of Han Solo Characters Mostly Aren’t:

The fundamental mistake that a wannabe Han Solo player makes is thinking that it’s other players’ job to convince them they should play – when it’s in fact, by choosing to play an awkward character, it’s your job to work out why you remain in the game and go along with what’s happening.
