EXCLUSIVE: Fight for your name on the Streets of Jade James Mendez Hodes and Fonda Lee discuss the nuances of adapting the bestselling Green Bone Saga for a tabletop RPG.

Exclusive! Rascal @lincodega.com was thrilled to be the first to sit down with game designer @lulavampiro.bsky.social and author @fondalee.bsky.social to talk about the upcoming tabletop RPG, Streets of Jade, based on Lee's bestselling Green Bone Saga.

An announcement graphic for Streets of Jade: the Green Bone Saga RPG, by James Mendez Hodes and Fonda Lee, published by Evil Hat Productions. In this illustration by Hannah Elizabeth, an East Asian man with a rakish expression and an asymmetrical haircut, wearing a white V-neck t-shirt under a black blazer, sits in front of a hard-eyed East Asian woman with shoulder-length straight hair, wearing a black pantsuit over a green blouse, standing with her arms folded. Both wear extensive piercings, jewelry, and other adornments made of green jade. They’re in a dark room in front of a large circular window looking out on a twentieth-century city at night. A banner at the bottom encourages you to “sign up to playtest now!”

Sharp blades. Sharp suits. A sacred stone granting mythic martial prowess. @fondalee.bsky.social, @evilhat.bsky.social, and I offer you a clean blade.

Hello!!!

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

I’m so excited!

My daughter @timeformars.bsky.social (center) is Viola tonight! Also @ayvalentine.bsky.social with a supporting role.

A phrase from this article by @rbreich.bsky.social really resonated with me: Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. I charted it up as a cross stitch pattern - it's available for free. Art is resistance. ko-fi.com/s/9b14285709

if you’re local, come see us at Tempest Studios!

@timeformars.bsky.social Someone is asking the important questions!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome to Bluesky! Hoping my internet holds out long enough to be able to dive in deeper! But in the meantime . . .

New pattern drop in the shop! Check out Pastel Dinosaurs (ko-fi.com/s/5d73002c88)!

And pls - what is your favourite dinosaur? I legit want to know.

I’m the daughter! Mine is a Triceratops! And this is what I wore to work today!

come on, dad. i’ve heard of a rookie mistake but this is ridiculous

a poster for the godfather 50th anniversary shows a man in a hat saying " leave the gun " Alt: a poster for the godfather 50th anniversary shows a man in a hat saying " leave the gun "

1. can you imagine a world in which a man named Luigi Mangione has not seen The Godfather?

2. if we have learned one(1) lesson from The Godfather, WHAT IS THAT LESSON

we’ll wait up for you
