I will be ready for the first round of play testers soon on my next Vampire release. It’s a solo journaling game that builds your mortal life and the years you were a vampire before the modern day. The play test document won’t be pretty. Interested? Let me know. #vtm #vampire

The Alien Evolved RPG is cleaner, doesn’t hurt my eyes and the rules changes seem to be exactly what I wanted. We’ll need to see in play (hopefully soon) but so far it’s better than I expected. Just wish the other books (and the foundry installs) had this layout without me having to rebuy them!

I did not. At that time I was in high school in Kansas City. My friends and I took many trips to Lawrence for music. Mostly at the Outhouse or the Granada but Day on the Hill was fun that year.

Prepping for tonight’s game of Vampire the Masquerade while listening to β€œsoftscars” by yeule, seems like a nice end to my daylight hours.

The Crimson Gutter. Not bad so far but I’m remixing and glitching it. Third session.

I gladly pay full price even with the crazy shipping lately if it includes the pdf. If it doesn’t then I skip it or find the book used or discounted before buying. I have a physical collection so the print is important to me, but the pdf helps since my games are all online.

Shadowrun: Anarchy 2.0 Shoot straight. Sling spells. Hack the Matrix. Scr*w the corps. Roll Dice. Focus on the Story. Shadowrun's new alternative ruleset!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

More signs that I’m getting priced out of my hobby. $115 or so with shipping if I want the pdf and the one book.

I was looking forward to a modern simpler Shadowrun, but… nope.

Vibes may not be as deep but it still vibes. Streamlined YZE rules coupled with a more accessible setting and direct no nonsense exploration smothered in hope. Get your dark space horror on while being positive about the future of your dying city!

I really want a bird now. jk

One of my favorite games recently is deal of the day on drivethru: legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/4675...

I read a lot of RPGs,but only a few have I read more than once in their entirety. Swyvers I read three times cover to cover. I'm afraid of how badly behaved my group would be if we play this.

I visited Chicago twice this year and still haven’t found a good place for used games. I feel like I failed. Next time?

I did accidentally end up seeing Letters to Cleo at a festival around Wicker Park. Two bits of nostalgia at one time.
Wish I could afford life in Chicago.

Did not expect to end up the owner of this but this week is full of surprises! I've been drooling over Torchbearer, specifically this set for awhile. It made me an offer I couldn't refuse and my gaming group decided my addiction was worth supporting.

One of the most underrated rpg systems. Now out of print. I was reading Warhammer The Old World rpg, the wood elf art reminded me of the elf art in Talisman Adventures. It’s been a year since C7 announced they were producing the next edition. Any new news? @cubicle7games.bsky.social #talisman #ttrpg

I can’t get this game off my reading table. I keep reading and rereading and dreaming of playing it. I even wrote custom solo rules for it.

I have no idea why I like it so much but I do. @chaosium.bsky.social has put some magic into this. I just need a way to convince my group how awesome it is!

Finally got around to placing a few games onto my bookshelf that had been on my desk waiting to be read. I’ll admit I didn’t get to all of them yet. One of these however is still on my desk.

All I’ve read in 3e recently is character creation. I had to rewrite a bit of it cause 1e was so broken. 3e fixed it from what I recall but didn’t fit what I wanted.

Flipping in the 3e pdf just now, its design is not inspiring.

I’ll have to get to reading. 3e doesn’t hit the nostalgia that keeps me in 1e collecting but maybe if I reread it we won’t have to fight. Maybe we will!

We did play a one shot of 1e over Christmas and it worked a lot better than I recall.

Finally got The One Ring to the table. The two players who know Tolkien the least, and were most reluctant to play, ended up loving it the most. The game has an emotional core that hooked us, even in the first 3 hours of our adventure.

About 1/3rd the way done in a rewrite of Edgeland but I keep getting distracted by my RPG reading list.

Currently reading list (physical books):

Our Brilliant Ruin
Night’s Black Agents (Dracula Dossier)

I’ve read this game three times this year but the first time was in 2023 so it doesn’t fit my silly rules for winning.

Looks like there is a nice bundle:
