The idea that we are somehow obligated to engage in the PVP-based social media mode out of some kind of moral principle is bullshit.

Truth. I barely made (French) minimum wage last year. And definitely will NOT this year.

Folks know I never stop not stopping, but I wouldn't be publishing games anymore if it weren't for my own personal Hela, <3

Hi Kristina, would you be willing to do a sensitivity reading on smaller document? It is an 8 page scifi rpg module that references Oni mythology.

Hm, I should probably start promoting the Derelict Jam. Right?

I have such a soft spot for the early 2000 post-matrix campness of the art in 3e, especially remembering back to how homophobic that time was. Yes I'm sorcer who's clothes consist of nothing but belts and pouches and my nipples are showing but it's not gay or anything.

Personaly as a player I would not be able to roleplay someone incentived to be truly evil for 2 hours but 20-30 minutes is fine. Especially if I can then roleplaying the oppressed hero. This creates a really interesting karma-like experience during gameplay. I was oppressor and now I'm oppressed.

All at the same time being the poor souls experience these decisions. Troupe play is such an interesting roleplaying concept. As it allows players roleplay multiple characters allowing for wider range of roleplaying experience.

Delightfully evil things the players did in the playtest, take off the ships name plate to sell, turn off the power on every second light bulb, reduce the oxygen supply onboard by 10%, murder one of their crew members to avoid paying out the full salvage quota, all in the name of profit.

Findings from the playtest:
1.Players love playing corporate douchebags.
2.A clear indication of gameplay phase changes is more helpful than smooth cinematic scene change when setting gameplay expectations at least in the beginning.
3.The players need greater incentives to visit planets.

A serious geopolitical oversight.

I've been thinking a lot about the troupe play and how to explain it to new players. I wonder if the fighting fantasy rpg had it right and the language of cinema (scene, sqeuence, act) may be more helpful then game language (turn, round, phase) especially with multiple characters. Just a thought.

Getting the players to do the work of the gm for them is the secret sauce of many a great game session.

Troll fighting some imps

Reminded of the concept of "Speedbumps" in HIS MAJESTY THE WORM today.

I'm a forgetful person by nature, and when I'm GMing there's a lot of spinning plates.

I purposefully put speed bumps into the game so that I could remember to do the "bookkeeping" parts of the game that were important to me.

I'll encourage Thomas to get a Bluesly account so I can link him directly in future.

Play testing has begun on Hex crawling the Void. A spaceship hex crawl RPG toolkit I'm designing for Mothership.
