Softback APOCALYPSE FRAME now exists! It's staple-bound and square-backed, which means it both opens easily for use at a table AND closes flat enough to fit on your shelf.

Do you mind elaborating on that? Which games have you run? Sorry for all the questions, there's just not much on your profile. Have you played Aardvark Wanderer?

I've finished writing Drier Deserts, Hotter Suns and it only took *checks notes* 13 years.

(okay maybe there's a few appendices left to write but those don't count... right?)

Some creature design by speciation for Orbital Megastructure. BUGs and Amoebas are pretty much the same but they started as biosynthetic maintenance workers.

Made some progress on DDHS today, folding in some player feedback to hopefully make space combat even more engaging in a moment-to-moment sense.

Also Doctors can now hurt people to give them extra actions πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ
