What if I carried a USB lav around at PAXU and did the TTRPG equivalent of Subway Takes?

DEADWEIGHT by Imagination Arcade analog_survival_horror.rpg

"What's your favorite scary movie?"

DEADWEIGHT is a rules lite, vibes-heavy survival horror RPG that combines PbtA-inspired gameplay with dwindling odds mechanisms in the vein of Dread and Ten Candles. I hope you check it out and tell me what you think. πŸ’€βš–οΈ

The game features seven Archetypes, embodying classic horror movie tropes.

Scenes of extreme tension are resolved using The Scale, a modified Progress Clock that can be reduced by the dangerous element in a scene (called The Peril). Reflex Cards in the style of Free League's Year Zero Engine games determine turn order.

Also similar to FitD and PbtA, Risks have 3 possible outcomes: Success (Pass), Success with Cost (Price), and Failure (Perish). Price either reduces the effectiveness of an action, or injures the acting PC. Perish requires a PC to Flip a coin in order to find out whether or not they survive.

The core mechanism lifts a lot from Forged In The Dark, with 3 attributes (called Vitals) each connected to 4 actions (called Risks). The key difference is that your Vitals also double as your Hit Points, reducing as you sustain injuries. The more damage you take, the harder it is to succeed.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Hey so if you are gonna be at a social event at PAX and, whether because of reputation management or social anxiety, you feel unprepared to speak up if someone makes an unwanted advance, I am more than happy to provide scary dog privileges. You can be the bigger person, I will be the larger person.

1. You do not owe anyone anything.
2. Do not go alone anywhere with a man.
3. You don't have anyone a hug that you don't want to, I don't care that saying no or pushing away would be "awkward". It's your body. 
4. Keep your drinks in your sight at all times.
5. Just because he has more followers don't let him use his power over you.

If you need a friend or safety buddy, don't be afraid to ask. Anyone have safety rules they'd like to share?

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

I know it's basic, but Batman has been my favorite superhero since I was in elementary school. He taught me at a young age that your circumstances don't define the person you become. You always have the choice to do good, no matter what bad things have happened to you.
