This is one to watch. Extremely smart game from a brilliant designer.

tonight in my knight game: interviewed the digging crew of a dwarf's bloody tunnel, found the Thorn Library, met the jolly seer systematically incinerating debtors, found he got work orders from a local guildhall, gave him a list of petrified trees, and received a flaming vision of a Black Dog

Someone telling me they’re gonna play blades in the dark on my recommendation is what I assume heroin feels like

These allow you to flash-forward, where you pay stress like flashbacks based on how crazy it is, but then that thing MUST happen.

Wow, you’re right, the AI is conscious! I guess that means it has to be paid for its labor. How many man-hours a day is it working? Don’t forget time and a half for overtime!

today in 68: got a job from a hot mob daughter, demanded a pharmaceutical product demo, summoned a hungry echo instead, got our journo friend a scoop, set off three different types of explosives, stole the formula for precognition pills, and empathically informed the CFO he'd been pumped and dumped

Me, rushing in to stop a group of kids playing House and Superheroes on a playground: stop!! You’re only beginners! This is a niche category of Roleplaying, you aren’t ready for it!

Hello AP producers, you need to get me running a Blades β€˜68 campaign inspired by either Disco Elysium or Metal Gear Solid 3 immediately or you are leaving money on the table

Massively recommending Sean’s editing.

It’s /very/ good.

Whooooo could it beeeee?

Editors are always delighted to be the honing steel to game designers' razor blade, so if you've got a game you want polished and sharpened, get yourself a mysterious ~great editor~

I said "trans furries are the future of this medium" about RPGs in like 2022, and I have been nothing but vindicated since then

I’m very sorry, but if you think it’s β€œrare” to play a ttrpg by and for queer women, you have simply not looked at the hobby for more than eight seconds

An eternal struggle! I try to regularly run one shots and short campaigns with new people because I am ALWAYS looking for players to add to my roster.

I like to populate my habitual test runs of new games of with folks I’ve never played with before. Double duty of feeling out games and players!

Tonight in πŸ”ΊEpilogue: expelled the Triangle Agency from Chicagoland, started an art career, took the grand tour, forgot Iowa, became Space Emperor AND a kept a day job, started Ripple Kindergarten, resurrected corpses, brought on personality hires, and asked, "where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
