Hobbies and play
Campaign settings, rulebooks, garden journals, brew logs and build books for the things you do because you love them.
Hobbies produce more reference material than most jobs: lore, rules, seasons, batches, part numbers. These recipes give each hobby a library with an index of its names, quizzes for the things you keep forgetting, and a public link for the parts your players, playtesters or fellow growers should see.
Keep the secrets secret: a game master’s notes and a player’s handout are different documents, and the recipes show how to keep them apart.
