Sheer Spec Press (J Boone Dryden)

everyone is and should be concerned about the immediate impact of this but I don't think I've seen anyone say that it's also a long term play to undermine DC statehood

The Hero we need in these trying times.

Rascal Subscriber Drive: History Week News blasts about the past.

Help us get the word out! In honor of losing the Diana Jones Award, we're running a discount on subscriptions — get 25% for six months! This coincides with History Week where we're publishing articles that come at the subject of RPG history from all angles and sides!

The commodification, oversimplification, and objectification of "Japan-ness" is exemplified by Obojima published by 1985 Games.

It is NOT Japanese.
It is NOT Ghibli-esque.
It is NOT authentic in any way.

They use Japanese culture, history, and media as a costume to create an appropriated fantasy.

If you need a cultural consultant to explain why the depictions in those cards were offensive, I don't think you have any business designing in the first place.

If you like games that prioritize character narratives, this game is perfect. It has a very simple base mechanic and uses a solid set of meta-currencies that help players feel like they've got a lot of autonomy over their characters' lives. It also doesn't put combat front-and-center.

Nope. I'm actually using the "Dune: Adventures in the Imperium" system. It's very good.

Any BIMPOC/AAPI femmes out there who have chaotic goblin energy and want to explore a dystopian steampunk western world?

The passing of a cast member a few months ago has left a vacant seat at our table for campaign 2 and I would love to seat some candidates at one shots as a sort of 'try out'

I currently have 3 full spreadsheets and 6 flow charts for my Dune campaign. I think I'm doing it right.

Say three positive things about your writing!

1. My setting descriptions are top notch
2. My use of language (while sometimes verbose) is very illustrative
3. Alternatively, I can write especially succinct but evocative prose

Anytime I see this I immediately think, "You do realize you just outed yourself as someone women don't feel comfortable around, right?"

A Catar, obv.

Here are at least a dozen euphemisms better than the weak-billed use of "unalive" (which I still contend is a really unhelpful use of language).

Artist friends -- my studio is looking for an artist for a handful of dynamic "comic book style" images for our game's intro. Human characters in a realistic setting. This would be freelance. If this is you, please reply or DM with some representative images! I'll review w/ team and DM you if a fit

Substack's extremist ecosystem is flourishing Yup, they're still at it.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Much excite! Getting my 45th bday tattoo appointment set up for when I make my NOLA trip later this year!
