I'll bet there's a non-English word for that feeling of not wanting to watch/read the last episode/book in a series because if you do, there won't be any of it left.

I personally agree. It sounds like they're doing a public alpha, so I'm going to give it a play to see how it feels.

Are the graphics what I expected? No, but I also knew they couldn't support the same graphics fidelity of the Horizon series with so many characters on screen at once.

A Slugblaster signature device called the Gravlux 3000, which is a vacuum hooked up to a tiny black hole. It _really_ sucks.

(I've also done a handful of zine-length Slugblaster splat books, but they're mostly building out Mikey's world and not doing a ton of innovation: itch.io/c/4983001/sl...)

Most of the _really_ cool stuff has been picked up between Evil Hat and Mythworks. For 2025, I've got to give the innovation award to Citizen Sleeper 2 (video game). @jumpovertheage.com does some _great_ stuff with countdown clocks in missions that've really inspired me.

You might get better results if you come up with a catchy subscriber name, like maybe Ferg-Fans or 'Drew Crew?

Two hardcover books. Left book reads "CRESCENT 2E: Feelings-Delving Role-Playing" and depicts five children running away from a dinosaur. The mood in the picture is light-hearted, playful, and fantastic. The right book reads "EXILE: Dark Fantasy Role-Playing" and depicts a winged figure thrusting a blood-soaked blade out of a horned monster. The mood is mysterious, emotional, and fierce.

My tabletop fantasy dyad, Crescent and Exile, is now available for preorder at the Mythworks store. 🖤 www.myth.works/pages/cresce...

All orders (along with crowdfunding rewards) will be shipping in November. Stay tuned. 🌜💫⚔️

This is the stack of playbooks we're preparing for the AWBO kickstarter coming up on Nov. 3. All four sheets have the short-form descriptions, like: 
THE HARRIER
We are the fire in the ashes of the world. We are the claws that rake the earth. We are the screaming machines that tear the roads to ruts and shake the ruined buildings. We are the furious horde of the not yet dead.

When you play the Harrier, you have a dangerous and skilled, but chaotic, combat gang. 

The full text shown is in the thread.

A digital mock up of Crescent 2e. The cover has been done in a cartoonish, painterly style: centered around a large T-rex is a cast of pre-teens involved in various anticts. One has caught the other with a fishing pole. There's a boomerang flying around. Another is diving into the water, their feet turned into a fish's tail. And while the dinosaur roars, another child is deeply immersed in the ancient tome they're reading at the monster's feet.

A digital mock up of EXILE. The cover has been done in a dark, high contrast, painterly style: an older teen, their eyes glowing red, stands atop the head of a dragon, sprouting their own bat-like wings, holding a sword dripping with blood and charging magical energy with their other hand.

I'm biased. I played these games during the playtest and I had an amazing time. Ema Acosta tinkered until only the smoothest running role-playing machine remained, a blend of osr freedom and storygame richness. A real vision.

So, my advice? Pre-order them right now: www.myth.works/pages/cresce...

If no one else has called it yet, I'd like to dub Taliesin's #criticalrole #campaign4 character "The Fresh Prince of Bolaire".

Been a slow burn, but enjoying things so far.

I've heard of Fight With Spirit. Was really hoping to get it randomly in an itch bundle at some point because it's _intriguing_.

I wonder if we could slip in some World Wide Wrestling in there, for the dramas?
