NINJA BORG RPG Actual Play + Stick This Up Your Language Model | Episode 111 — Breakup Gaming Society Rugose's ninja did all the hard work of killing Cheap Trick, but my ninja got three kinds of smokes at least.

Detail of masked ninja from character sheet of NINJA BORG RPG, with stat areas on his shoulder and forehead for Hubris points and Kill Count.

Sam Altman and Marc Andreessen can frolic in my pickle water.

The world they’re imagining sucks.

Instead come with me to Budokan in 1978, where two ninjas have to hop out of a time machine and slaughter Cheap Trick.

I played @ninjaborg.com with the creators and recorded it. Link's down there 👇

Maybe we add a move where you can clock a boss with an oversized H. Like Sesame Street, but way more instructive.

A ninja in silhouette decapitates a foe with a sweeping strike on the cover of the NINJA BORG roleplaying game.

Can campy, violent ninjas from an indie RPG help protect small creator rights against AI? It's certainly worth a roll of the d12.

Salute to @rugosekohn.com and @liberludorum.com, makers of @ninjaborg.com and the first tabletop creators to certify their work as Human Intelligence®.

Classic Hip Hop Sample Chasing: Death in Vegas Back to Roxanne Shanté — Breakup Gaming Society A mean Shanté line from a very mean song makes a mean addition to Death in Vegas' "Dirt."

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/blog/big-bea...

The little thrills: Caroming through early '90s hip hop stuff on YouTube Music and stumbling across the origin of that mean, punchy vocal sample from Death in Vegas' "Dirt"

It's Shanté.

A picture of a blue-and-yellow game box (Rucksack) and two game booklets: Tiny Tome 2 and Book of Wandering.

Giving away some cool indie tabletop stuff I acquired from @grumpyspidergames.bsky.social, @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social, @long-tail-games.bsky.social and Ada Press.

I'm listening to "Heatwave (JiggyJoe Remix)" by Skeewiff &
Pedigree Cuts. This beat is like medicine to me. What do you have on tonight?

Ninja Borg RPG! Fantasy Flight Retro Bangers! Die, Boredom! — Breakup Gaming Society A gorgeous indie TTRPG thrill ride for your inner '80s ninja, plus board game writer Matt Thrower weighs in on Fantasy Flight Games' Golden Age.

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/nin...

A ninja in a semi-crouch follows through on bloody decapitation strike vs. a hapless opponent on the cover of the NINJA BORG roleplaying game book.

Talked to @liberludorum.com and @rugosekohn.com about their freewheelin' NINJA BORG #ttrpg and then to @mattthr.bsky.social about the Golden Age of Fantasy Flight Games — and how his path into that Ameritrash paradise differed from mine.

Rock on, Grumpy Spiders and everybody in that roundup, keep making great stuff, I see you.

C'est ma plaisir.

SETI First Solo Play + Arkham Horror Retrospective — Breakup Gaming Society — Breakup Gaming Society Documenting my first solo play at SETI and the massive shadow that Arkham Horror threw across our table in 2011.

Tan player tokens from the board game, SETI Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. They are disc-shaped with a depression in each and a small pointed cone in the well of each depression.

Step 1: The box lands in the driveway. Feel the heft of that box. Holy moly, it’s a two-hander! Curl it every morning, for three to four days. Three sets of 10.

I finally got in my first solo play of SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

THIS KICKS ASS

Mic Test: A 1967 Letter About My Dad from a Frustrated Commander — Breakup Gaming Society No hero stories here. The commander of the Sammy B wanted by Dad off that damn ship.

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/blog/family-...

Closeup of typewritten military letter from 1967. Central text identifies Ensign WARREN and surrounding snippets convey a deeply unsatisfactory performance report for the ensign in question, who was assigned to be an electronics officer aboard a destroyer.

Found a two-page letter from 1967. A destroyer commander deemed my Dad a complete fuckup. Audio's below 👇

If the ringtone is the "Amen, Brother" drum break, it's me.

Classic Hip Hop Sample Chasing: Original Flavor Back to Roland Kirk — Breakup Gaming Society Cut Chemist and Shortkut hit me with an Original Flavor instrumental in the '90s that would save Christmas decades later.

B/W photo of jazz genius Rahsaan Roland Kirk playing three saxophones at once.

I held on for the whole ride, wondering if God took Kirk's vision away at age two so he could show you what sunlight on the trees looks like in a valley where a clamorous parade of the dispossessed honks and wails its suffering and joy like the culminating scene in some magical realist folk opera.

As a guy still nursing back from a hematoma sustained on Nov. 6, can relate.

Ep. 107 includes the Ryuutama and Dwelling RPGs — and the first of my Fantasy Flight retrospective, starting with Space Hulk: Death Angel, which I still break out multiple times a year. The FF catalog set the rhythm of our Saturday nights for years.

Dwelling Solo RPG Session 6: The Triple Dungeon Feature — Breakup Gaming Society Down into the basement party. Down into the basement bar. Down into the last false refuge.

"I was her boyfriend, so it was my job to keep those copper eyes flashing with the right fuel mix. The deal was I kept her high so I could show her off. I kept me high so I wouldn’t think too much about the deal."

My Dwelling solo RPG Session 6 is in the bag. Link below. Has sex and drug content.

Christmas hangovers aren't so bad, given the availability of naps and starchy food. It's like sustaining a wound right in the lobby of a hospital.
