My late father and were are both built that same way. As he used to say, "we're tall from the waist up."

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I am looking for. I love the way the Triangle Agency book is written (as an in-universe document), but this sort of behind-the-curtain analysis is immensely valuable for actually running the game. More like this please!

From here on out, all TTRPG campaigns need a cinematic movie trailer. youtu.be/oRlhKBRU8VU...

The Boulez is great. I'm also fond of this one from Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. youtu.be/fe1pB9KqHRg...

For that particular moment, though, the first version of La Mer I ever heard (Horvath/ORF) has stuck with me for some reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ls-...

Blades '68 Blades ’68 is an official supplement for Blades in the Dark, moving the timeline forward 100 years to the swinging 60s.

Proud to be the 99th backer for Blades '68! If I made it in the first 100, the rest of y'all are too slow! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

There's a moment at the end of the first movement of "La Mer" that sounds like sunlight breaking through the clouds. It's hope in auditory form.

A brilliant game.

Perfect timing - we're starting our AP of the RPG on Wednesday, and I can't wait!

Cool dude not looking back at explosion, check. Love it!

They ARE afraid, though - that's what drives them. They are deeply, terrifyingly, justifiably afraid that if they lose power, the people who gain that power will treat them the same way the GOP has always treated those they have power over.

I'm not familiar with Bad Bunny's work, but this halftime show *slaps.*

Not for every game, but I like this a lot.

I mean, I can't guarantee that he's right about the song...but he's definitely not wrong.

Can we get Billy West to read them as Zapp Brannigan?

The Swinger playbook would like a word.

Just got to play my first game of Durance from @jmstar.bsky.social and @bullypulpithq.bsky.social . It's a great GMless game, a bit more complex than something like For the Queen, but simple enough to teach and play in a few hours. Great interactive world- and character building. Recommended!

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

I love this whole thread. It's immediately clear that Blades '68 (like all your work) looks exactly right; it's fascinating to see all the decisions and analysis that explain WHY it looks exactly right.

Slob with lagoon tendencies here.

This sucks. Narwhals deserve to keep swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, 'cause they are so awesome.

...but seriously, I really wish humans would stop fucking up literally everything on this planet, including each other.

"Oh, does that make you uncomfortable?" Comedy gold.

Love The Devil's Plan. It's a show that could never be made in the US. "Okay, first we're going to spend 20 minutes explaining the rules of this game..."

No one has been able to match The Mole yet. A game so good, even the celebrity versions were good!

Reminds me of the "Race to Escape" TV series. 6 episodes of really clever, high-budget escape rooms being explored by some of the dumbest teams ever assembled.

Good (and timely) article here. I'd also recommend @bullypulpithq.bsky.social 's Wintermute, a fascinating GMless game in which you play goverment agents trying to BREAK UP resistance groups...as a tool to show how you can strengthen your own resistance groups. bullypulpitgames.com/products/win...

Hey babe, what’s your sign?
