would you have any interest in hearing about this really truly terrible campaign i ran with my own from scratch system i called "tablesgrub" about a year before tablestuck was announced?

Absolutely. I would also like to quickly say, I am a big fan of the other Homestuck TTRPGs out there and do encourage other to check it out, RPGstuck being my highest recommendation if Tablestuck just isn't your thing. (Not directing this to you duckbuster, just a general recommendation to people reading this)
