I am curious. Has anyone done the math on Blades in the Dark on how many segments make up a good score? Is there a ratio between score and threat clocks or a total number?

Has anyone worked that math?

Mutants From the Archives: Pet Shop Blues Expanding the retro-modern, mutant-animal, role-playing game Mutants in the Now with new pet species, fascist villains, and much more!

@j-k.games is back with another supplement for Mutants in the Now.

As someone who played TMNT until the end of the 1980s, I believe this game is the true spiritual successor. The rules are revamped and clean, the game is fun to play, and the combat is fantastic

I have also enjoyed every episode.

I am doing a re-watch of the whole series right now. Loving it. Pike and Dr Mbenga are some of my favs.

I have an amazing Sci-Fi, Super Science setting that I made for Cortex Prime. I would publish it if Cortex Prime licensing became available.

Gene Hackman has been in so many good movies, but the one that always comes to mind for me is The Quick and the Dead. I love this movie, and he was a great villain.

Three images in a square. Top Left: A person sits against a wall painted with a rainbow, a scar on their cheek. Top Right: A rooftop garden with Community Alliance rebels tending to it, alongside a child and a pug. Bottom: 5 people sit around a tree stump, playing the TTPRG 'Why We Fight'. Next to this is the title art for the game with the subtitle "A solarpunk narrative TTRPG"

Hey Anto! :)
Why We Fight is a 1-5 player, GMless, narrative, solarpunk TTRPG about collective resistance, overthrowing oppressive forces, and building a future where no one has to "earn" the right to live. Each player controls a crew of 4 characters, that you build as you play!

Has anyone used Hearts of Wulin to run a Cobra Kai game? Because I think it may be possible, but I also can't be the first person to think of this.

I have two Cortex Prime conversions I want to make from 90s RPGs: Underground and The Whispering Vault.

I think both would be a lot of fun in Cortex Prime.

Its a shame that Cortex Prime does not have a license option, because I have some really fun stuff that I have made, that I would love to share with the world.

Neon City Blues Cybernoir, Carved from Brindlewood

Neon City Blues is a cool KS project that just launched. It's a street level cyberpunk game, Carved from Brindlewood. I've always thought a cyberpunk game that uses the CfB mystery system is a great idea, and so I'm excited to see this in the world!

Thanks for the heads-up on this one. I love CfB as a system and I love Cyberpunk. Backed.

That has always been my approach to GMing advice.

I present the problem, explain what is happening, then provide a solution.

Itโ€™s worked so far for hundreds of blog posts and podcasts.
