Shout out to the ice officers in Portland for trying to tear gas my seven year old today.
Big brave boys! Warfighters!

Can you hear that? That ghastly wheeze? That wet thump? That can only be the sound of LAST RITES and ICHOR-DROWNED being added to the Rowan Rook & Decard website shop for digital purchase!

The infamous Skeleton Biker [with Machine Gun Sidecar] from Castlevania 64.

Castlevania 64

The full version of COMMONWEALTH is out now! I played through a few seasons using the playtest rules and had a great time, so I highly recommend checking it out if you're even a little bit interested in challenging your friends to duels.

playing COMMONWEALTH via Discord was some of the most fun I had with anything last year, and the way that so many small moments & rolls carry you forward and create the bigger arc of just being a little shit Barry Lyndon-ing your way through Book of the New Sun is something really special

I watched and talked through a playtest of this game and I can tell you: this shit rules.

More and more people are saying BARRY LYNDON (1975) than ever before. And now with COMMONWEALTH you can simulate your own terrible little exultant who duels, goes to war, spies, gambles at the club, acquires real estate, and makes love.

thank you! I think this game produces a nice collection of micro events that you can assemble into a big narrative (consciously or unconsciously)

and also thanks to @amandalee.bsky.social who understood the assignment and knocked it out of the park with the cover

Somehow it's the only game on itch.io with the "barry-lyndon" tag!

Commonwealth is one of the finest and most unique games I've played. It is pushing at the boundaries of ttrpg design, it was a treat to work on. Please check it out!

everyone who's ANYONE is playing Commonwealth.

make an awful little social-climbing freak in a decadent far future! gamble! court lovers! challenge rivals to monomachy! throw fabulous fetes! march out to battle! and above all, praise the autarch, whose haters wait upon his table of success.

Commonwealth is SO GOOD. You will not regret playing this game. Also I think it's the best play by post game I've ever tried. It works really really well for discord server, with lots of potential for interesting drama while also being easy to run at a pace that doesn't demand too much of players

thank you, I hope you enjoy it!

Commonwealth is my favorite TTRPG of 2025. it’s terrific. Check it out now.

I got a chance to playtest this and had an absolute blast making a freak man who scared everyone.

Not someone who really actively engaged with tabletop but it made me want to play more. It’s THAT good

I was lucky enough to get to playtest this and can confirm it is an extremely fun game. It works so well in play by post format in a Discord, and I highly recommend giving it a shot and making your own horrible horrible nobility.

COMMONWEALTH by Michael Hansen A far-future social climbing simulation

COMMONWEALTH is OUT NOW.

It is a "far-future social climbing simulation" inspired by En Garde!, The Book of the New Sun, and Barry Lyndon.

@nictringali.bsky.social did the layout and graphic design and the cover and interior art is from @amandalee.bsky.social

It has been an incredible experience working with @meredithgran.com on Perfect Tides: Station to Station.

So much thought and care went into the words, story, art, music, and systems (yes, systems), and it is amazing to see it already resonating so much with players who value those things.

Shelved by Genre and Just King Things helped me read more last year - they covered a third of the books I read in 2025. My quality of life and ability to make sense of the world has been improved by these shows, which are Good. also Blaze is psychic

I recommend Jay Richardson's fine tutorial which is written in a conversational style that conveys his excitement for the game
