Heat Of The Night, by Let's Talk 10 track album

The first song on this album is an incredible and chilling song about ICE. Absolutely worth a listen.

What is old is new once again! I actually referenced your Mirkasa adventure while talking through some PBTA principles with a buddy yesterday.

The Aquarium Game Night was a huge success!!

The GMs ran a fantastic adventure, the players were all so creative, and the dice were fickle as ever.

Hope we get to do it again soon!!

Fellow Game Masters prepping for our SC Aquarium Game Night! It was always my dream to play Bones Deep near the big aquarium tanks.

Tomorrow will be a test run:

- 4 Hours
- Limited Entry

If all goes well this will become a regular program available to the public!

Tempered Legacy is something I come back to time and time again. My players love getting those items and unlocking all the cool powers.

Bones Deep, by @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social, is not only smartly laid out and SUPER accessible, it's also funny, goofy, and full of awesome illustrations of various sea creatures. I've played it multiple times and I would be oh-so-happy to play it again.

Random game idea: a future where corporations dump their waste through a time portal into the jurrasic age, and you play as rebel dino riders fighting to prevent past pollution.

Wow, you're right! I completely missed the Nameless Things section. I'll add a quick addendum to the review.

The One Ring TTRPG: Fear of Tolkien This is a review of the One Ring TTRPG by Free League publishing. It is also a chronicle of my descent into Middle Earth and far longer than it needs to be, so here is the short version:

Finally finished writing my review of the Lord of the Rings Tabletop Roleplaying Game.

Spoilers: I hated it.
