I am seeing the new TMNT Redux pop up here and there, so for those that have received their fulfillment, can you detail what is within the book? Is it a full redux or just a reprint of the original with some added splash? 🐒

The Booklet of Bounties A zine of fantasy fugitives and bounty-hunting scenario seeds.

James always makes some tight and packed zines. 🀘🏻😊

I just backed The Booklet of Bounties on www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

And I will add the craft appeal comes in many forms. I love a stitch bound book with ribbon markers, detailed art, and a beautifully embossed cover, but I also love a stapled cardboard booklet with uneven folds, cheap art, and twenty four fonts. Both wildly different, both come from the same heart.

Sure, functionality is fine, four legs and a flat surface make a table, but for some it’s about the craftsmanship. The joinery, the finish, the feel. Some look at RPG books the same. The content matters, but the joy comes from the sum of the craft with the words, art, layout, and physicality.

Moving In Your Elderly Father #223:
I’m at the age where I give zero shits telling my dad about the carnage of my youth. So when he gets uppity, I detail one of the house parties I threw while he was out of town, full of narcos levels of drugs and unholy bedlam. His look of realization? Chef’s Kiss.

I have The Terror Beneath, and though I haven’t had time to read it yet, I have a feeling that may rise to number one. Currently, it would be your Dolmenwood scenario, Emelda’s Song.

Oh god, yes. They absolutely absorb smells. Ever buy a used book from a smoker? Crack it open unaware and it’s like the Marlboro Man leapt out and cracked you right in the jaw. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Potential Fun Fact: I believe the MMO Dark Age of Camelot was originally going to use the Rolemaster rule set as its foundation and couldn’t get the license.

Wow. Not just a massive red flag, but a massive pair of brass balls too. I’ve sat down with actual luminaries in the hobby who had to be nudged to remember to mention their own project, and yet this person hands over a curated list of approved questions like they’re touring with a PR handler. πŸ˜…

Today’s Pendragon:
Wandering the Perilous Forest on the road to the City of Legions, the knights were fooled by ogres glamoured as peasants and nearly became their supper, until Dame Tamura and Dame Cwenhild, still mounted, rode in and dispatched the creatures with Gwaine worthy skill. βš”οΈπŸ‘Ή

Back in the day, most of my friends modeled their characters personalities after the usual fantasy standards. Gandalf, Conan, The Gray Mouser, Drizzt, and so on.
Me? I had Aahz, the Perver… I mean, PerVECT! 😈

Had some crazy old school fun with DCC Cavern’s of Thracia tonight. Magical portal puzzles, talking rubber trees, Medusa’s hair clippings, and an undead minotaur that we fought off with luck, force walls, and enlarge spells. Just some lovely emergent chaos that DCC does so well.🀘🏻😊

Prince Valiant: Introduces narrative collaboration without the intensity of PbTA.

Outgunned: Rewards style and stunts over tactics and crunch.

Delta Green: Teaches that tragedy, paranoia, and hard choices can still be fun.

DCC: Celebrates wild creativity, unpredictable magic, and emergent chaos.

It was just so odd. The poor GM felt guilty for ending it but apparently this was the SECOND time this player did this. It is almost like getting a Fighting Fantasy game book, making a character, reading the opening premise, and then binning it because it’s not what your warrior Sir Loin would do. πŸ˜…

There’s definitely room for this kind of shenanigans when you have a full group, but in a 1 on 1 game, where one person is basically your personal living choose your own adventure book, one might want to temper some of those player expectations. Sometimes you just buy the ticket and enjoy the ride.

I read a post yesterday about a one-on-one Call of Cthulhu game where a player went through full character creation, the GM set up the opening scene and presented the hook, and the player refused it because β€œthat’s not what my PC would do,” and essentially ended the game not willing to compromise.
