I've been pondering the potential of NFTs lately, and while I appreciate their aesthetic and cultural significance, it strikes me that we're barely scratching the surface of what they could be. Currently, so much emphasis is placed on superficial traits – a different background color, for instance – which become markers of statistical rarity and, consequently, potential monetary value. These traits don't inherently add aesthetic appeal or real-world utility. This leads to a situation where many NFTs, lacking immediate financial return, simply languish in wallets. The touted idea of "digital ownership" feels less impactful when these digital assets become forgotten relics. It often feels more like you supported a creator, which is great, but the deeper promises of true digital ownership feel unfulfilled.

Driven by this, I've embarked on a fun side project: designing a Tabletop RPG system specifically built around NFTs. The core idea is to leverage the textual data (JSON) inherent in NFTs to create dynamic game mechanics. The slightly ironic twist? I've never actually played a TTRPG before! But I'm thoroughly enjoying the learning process, drawing inspiration from games like Rimworld and Kenshi that have a strong RPG flavor. My goal is to at least realize a portion of this vision and explore a more meaningful application for NFTs. What are your thoughts on the untapped potential of NFTs beyond the current collectibles market? Let's discuss! 😁
