I read so, so much on the NYC subway. I read so much that I once met someone reading the same out-of-date paperback that I was.

Now that I drive I can't do that.

A full-page article about Art & System in a print magazine.

@timhutchings.bsky.social Really nice write up of Art & System in the newest Wyrd Science!

That's so cool!

I haven't played @amabel.bsky.social's alien game yet but I want to.

I doubt that there's much of a vibe overlap.

It's all good! I appreciate your writing the article and look forward to giving it a second read later today.

Apollo 47 Technical Handbook - The Hutchingsonian Presents-PlaGMaDA | DriveThruRPG Apollo 47!  It's here, I've finally done it!  DTRPG is the only place you can buy the print book.  You can also order optional cards, but they are not at all necessary for game play.  Weirdly enough, ...

Bookplay in TTRPGs An essay on how we play with books in ttrpgs

In SPINE, I want players to play with the ttrpg's rulebook in innovative ways.

I wrote this essay to think through the design. It describes the various ways we play with books in ttrpgs, with examples of how we use books as props, as anchors for fictions, and how we recreate them as art.

And the Magic players who don't like the setting-breaking probably aren't going to leave over it. Not the folks I've talked to, anyways.

I got the flu and covid shots yesterday and I am pleased and surprised at feeling fine! Maybe the difference is that I got mine in the arm?

Then Satan rose up from hell and bellowed, “Little bunny Foo Foo! My most dedicated worshipper! Continue your reign of terror against the field mice in my name.”

I hadn't thought about the bribery aspect. Corruption trickles down so, should the things get brown shirty, a wad of cash might buy a reprieve. Jeez.

I, a tax-paying citizen, am paying for the people who might be disappearing me next year. Donor states are paying for terror squads that beggar states will use to hurt them.

EiD was the first 'real' book I printed back when I was trying to do game studies stuff!

The TYOV companion book is something akin to the PHB you have, but for TYOV.

I doubt I'll ever manage another one of these puzzles that quickly and without error. I should probably stop while I'm ahead.

Buy it at full price on the site, email me what you want to pay for it, then I'll refund the difference.

Homage to the Player's Handbook NOTE: The book might have issues with the cover not laying flat.  See the picture in the faq below. This might go away on its own and is a standard issue across the run. The scratch and dent copies wi...

I'll sell you one at PWYW+shipping if you'll go through with inking in the margin notes and share images of it with me. And, I guess, let me include it in the newsletter.

I appreciate the newsletter reminding me about these puzzles. I hadn't done one in awhile.

How much does it cost to put 8+ federal/mystery employees in the field for however many hours they spent waiting for that guy? Did taxpayers pay for that guy to have a "this is my personality" cowboy hat?

I don't think that a book like that would show "used" condition in the same way a regular RPG book would, so that makes sense.

Where did you find it? Is No Land Beyond a game store in Baltimore?

I wonder how they got a copy. I don't think I've sold any wholesale.

I'm glad someone likes it!
