Monstrous Detectives // Detektei Monster. An investigation story game by Carina Bueker. Crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Back it now! February 3 to March 5, 2026. Three monsters in a private detective agency. One is sitting behind a desk, drinking coffee. It's very big with teal fur, three eyes, and small horns. It's wearing a fedora and a trenchcoat over a shirt and tie. Another one is standing in front of the desk, holding up a sheet of paper. It's smaller, with mustard feathers, a teal beak, and three eyes. It's wearing a dark purple coat with a shawl collar and a purple beret. A third one is sitting on top of a file cabinet in the background, examining a small piece of paper with a magnifying glass. It's very small, with white fur with purple spots, big striped horns, and a tail that ends in a tuft. It's wearing a teal shirt with a black tie and a mustard pair of pants. On the floor are an old-fashioned dial-plate telephone and a flower pot with a withered plant.
We are live! ๐

The cover of Blades in the Dark next to the cover of Blades '68
In celebration of the imminent Blades โ68 campaign, I thought Iโd talk a bit about its graphic design.
BUT FIRST letโs compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.

Words from Wulin World
Wren on itch has written a great new supplement for Hearts of Wulin. It includes two new playbooks: one for a transmigrated character and one for a nonhuman cultivator character. Some great new moves & entanglements.
As designer of HoW, I love it!

Battle over Yazebaโs Bed & Breakfast contracts leaves the book, relationships, torn apart
Creative collaborators clash with Jay Dragon and Steve Jackson Games over unfair treatment.
Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's).
I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

the trans pride flag.
[pls share!]
putting out a call because i am prepping for next year's trans rights bundle - i'm looking to focus on Idaho or Arkansas, both of which have had 10+ anti-trans bills passed this year.
So - ID and AR residents, what are some local queer and trans organizations you know and trust?
