I'm playing in a home game of Orbital Blues, and my character is a Bowie-esque glam rock star who faked his own death, but was recently forced to reveal himself. Last session he bought a fringed mask to hide his identity. So, he is essentially about to become Orville Peck.

I had to leave the game a bit early and later found out that his bedroom had been trashed so close enough πŸ˜‚

I was the Explorer, Lord Humphrey Winbrook-Quair. My first act was thrusting a pound note at a beggar in a way he thought was subtle but absolutely was not.

I am horrendously late to the party, but having finally had the chance to play The Between myself as a home game, it seemed like the perfect moment to make up for lost time. Everyone paints such a vivid picture of this dark and grimy Victorian London, you can almost taste the acrid smog.

For that reason I often include a "make up your own" option for lists or random tables to avoid that friction.

You can always say, "I do something else that's not on the list", but having to deliberately ignore the game rules to have more fun isn't ideal.

I love the VIBES of a lot of PtbA games, but I do sometimes find the moves restrictive. I find games that have narrative mechanics can step on my toes as a roleplayer. But if you are an inexperienced roleplayer I get that having those choices might be helpful.

Small Folk in Big Coats A simple and chaotic RPG about a group of smallfolk with wildly differing goals.

My Zinequest project is live!

In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together.

It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out!

I think Fire Walk With Me is my favourite entry in the Twin Peaks series. For me, it is a pure distillation of the core themes of the show with plenty of emotional gut-punches.

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?
