Thanks for this, it's why we sub! Always curious as to the TTRPG scenes are in other countries and their histories, and this was a Hell of a read! Great to see really wonderful things come out of an awful situation!

Very interested in seeing how that storyline progresses

Systems are like assholes, every game has one and we frequently find ourselves doing stuff inside of them.

42 years is a long time to maintain an ultraheavy beat, definitely one of their weakest albums in the discog.

Oooh, might be! As much as we don't like cold contacts, we can appreciate the hustle, but they might want to tighten up on what they consider their target advertising areas to be, unless they really think 'horny post-apoc mutant animals' is gonna drive those numbers!

Pretty sure we got an email from the same writer's agent on the same book, and we told them that's not what we really do either. Speculative sci-fi?

All that runs through our mind when we think of rich people is the George Carlin State Prison bit from Back in Town. Maybe if they put it on an island they'd go there voluntarily, we know they really love islands.

Tried to get GM John's former employer involved but got the whole, "this is (blank) of Comics, not (blank) of Games" line so he stopped fighting hard on it.

"It's Morphus time!" might be the best line we've had so far in the Nightbane stuff GM John is cutting (WITH SPECIAL GUEST STAR!) but damn, it's hard to tell, there's been a lot of good lines.

It'd be way more impressive if you just had someone call you up and be like, "Ok, this is all on the fly, here's your adventure" when you bought it but we take what we can get.

One more day polishing off some whimsical stuff, then back to cutting a project with our first guest player on it through next week, then a month and a half, maybe two, of cutting just fantasy stuff, but that should ideally put our buffer at about 6 months by April so can't whine too much!

Got two squads of old-school CSMs unassembled and waiting for something like this, hoping those pads fit them too!

Someone gave a can of Brylcreem half a personality, an OK suit, and political connections out the gate and named it Gavin Newsom.

Reporting like this is why it's always morally correct to support Rascal News!

We do a singular cozy game but predominantly because a player challenged GM John to fit a pre-existing game system into a cozy paranormal theme so he picked Beyond the Supernatural 2E from Palladium. The protagonists and their friends have beaten up and humiliated cops in 100% of the two seasons.

Can people post their creative plans for 2026?

Our are:
- Play more games
- Edit those recorded games and release them on pod
- Shit, maybe paint some miniatures? That'd be rad!

Keeping it simple in '26

What do I consider a God-tier album?

This album came out around when I was born. If this album came out today, it'd still be groundbreaking, still wouldn't sound like anything of the time but still very much would sound of the time. Still resonates almost 45 years later.

It also works as a great feeder program for the CIA

How hard can it be to find five people and a bunch of mechanical undead in the sewers under Malifaux? You'd be surprised!

Finalized the releases for '26, hoping to be done recording and editing them by mid-year so we can get insanely far ahead on our buffer.
