A new link-collecting newsletter has dropped. It's really good. I like that it includes @elmc.at's projects, I'm especially interested in their more robust webring idea.

Thanks! So far, I’m just cranking up the old imagination muscles and taking inspiration from science fantasy authors, Star Trek and the OD&D books themselves. I’m trying to only use the tools presented in the text, and there isn’t really a lot of random tables or anything in there.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
How cool would it be if Karl Casey wrote some original music for Public Access? He's my go-to listen whenever I'm working on the game. Do yourself a favor: karlcasey.bandcamp.com

A photo of the covers of the Pirate Borg Starter Set (Pirate Borg in large red and white lettering, partially obscured by a group of weird characters including a skeleton Pirate, a skeleton conquistador and a couple of zombies,) the source books, Down Among the Dead (sunlight filters down to an underwater scene lit in green. Undead walk the seafloor and shipwrecks litter the background. Down Among the Dead in green and white lettering at the bottom) and Cabin Fever (a skeleton’s tricorn hat-wearing head and shoulders. It holds a clenched fist and fire emerges from its eye sockets to spell out Cabin Fever in red and orange lettering) as well as the Obol coin and Lost Soul patch.
A photo of the contents of the Pirate Borg starter set laid out flat together. From bottom to top, wipe-clean character sheets, paper character sheets with skulls for hit points, the cover of the Player’s Guidebook with the title in big white letters and the illustration of a skeletal swashbuckler, the cover of Trapped in the Tropics, the title in orange writing and a picture of ancient skeletons and zombies wandering the jungle beneath a smoking volcano, markers for the character sheets, a set of cards for equipment, a map of a ship caught in vines and lots of folded maps and character and status tokens arrayed around it.

My Pirate Borg Starter Set, Down Among the Dead, Cabin Fever Kickstarter from @limithron.bsky.social got fulfilled today. Just look at all the beautiful stuff in that start set box. Yaar!

A meme with text: 'Give your players a “disintegration gun.” What it actually does is shoot people into the future. In the final session all the people they shot with it blink into existence around them at once.' Followed by a comment: 'OP please change your url.'
I once tried something like this in a game I ran, but it unknowingly sent enemies to a pocket dimension. When the foes finally escaped, angry and united, chaos ensued, but it was glorious.
