Had a sit down w my art and layout dude (Josh is a talented son of a bitch) and he was showing me the two page spread idea I had and it has to be four now

Because there is no way I am denying the world some of the great art he did to make it work (and I can’t cut enough words)

EXCITED.

The core of the adventure is a procedurally generated Depth Crawl (made famous by Emma Allen’s Gardens of Ynn and Stygian Library) adapted for sailing the high seas!

Made for @limithron.bsky.social ‘s Pirate Borg, These Bloody Sails turns the journey into the play.

I played a Pirate Borg game run by @thiseffingm.bsky.social at Gamehole Con this year and it was super fun! Will *gets* the mood and tone of the setting and did a great job drawing the table into the adventure. I cannot wait to see how he expands the core rules. Grab yer cursed gold and back this!

I’ve worked at conventions w Limithron before, both in the booth and as a Harbour Master. 3 things:

1. They make a great game.
2. Their license is great, their support unmatched.
3. They are great people.

Making a game w their system was a no brainer.

Speaking of art and artists, maybe MAYBE I have a Kickstarter project about to go up.

The researchers trying to cure cancer have a goal of curing cancer

Thorne has a goal of “stop being mean about ai usage and my love of it, because I was able to find one example of a good use”

This is exactly what I am talking about.

“Look how amazingly useful this can be” they say, “so allow this to justify every other shitty position I have primarily on GenA”

Thorne is trying to sell you something here and it’s the idea that you are wrong if you have any misgivings.

Don’t buy it.

Two campaigns spanning 5 years this beholder turned overmind has harried my players, but last night the Hard Earners said no more.

With spell and blade in hand, they took on the beholder and vanquished it in its underground lair of Oblivion.
