I made a layout template for this that I hope might be useful for folks even beyond Triangle Agency!! If you want to discover the joy of paragraph styles, check it out (files are InDesign but you can import the .idml into Affinity)

That is too kind!! I was gonna say that I am glad to have battled InDesign so the community doesn't have to, except it probably will still be a battle because InDesign is Cursed (technical term)

The cover of Blades in the Dark next to the cover of Blades '68

In celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design.

BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.

Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

Screenshot of a Triangle Agency themed visual novel with pencil art on rednote.

I've been a bit quiet on here bc all the dread, but I'm still making stuff!! Really excited about this one

'70s style pseudo-advertisement for "The Triangle Agency," depicting a groovy office space. text reads "More than a corporation. / As an employee, we provide you with not just a job, but a mission."

'70s style image for a course or seminar, depicting a big triangle cut into negative space around an orange-ish lined square. text reads "Resonance and You: A Practical Approach / Agent Training Seminars—Concepts and Problems / PRODUCED BY THE AGENCY AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICE"

'70s-style advertisement for "The Triangle Agency," featuring an image of Lee Majors and a slick sports car with photoshopped-on details. text reads "He knows there's only three ways this can go. Make sure you choose the right one. / The Triangle Agency works in secret to keep our world safe from dissentients, dissonants, and dissidents. If you see an agent in the field, no you didn't."

manual cover done up in the style of '70s EPA manuals, with abstract geometry and a black-and-white industrial landscape. the title reads "Reality and its Consequences," with other text reading "Field Agent's Handbook / Triangle Agency Series C / August 1974"

one of my long-running campaigns finally died. as an intermezzo before the next one, we've decided to to play a few sessions of Triangle Agency set in 1974

I am reviewing old games I didn't finish.

This is a supplement for CY_BORG where you chase a psychic girl through the sprawl against cultists and corpos.

I wanted to try writing a 'Main Character' NPC. The Girl makes you question the game rules. Is she manipulating you into helping her?

Ruin: An Anthology of One Shot Trophy Incursions An Anthology of One Shot Trophy Incursions. Crowdfunding in March 2026.

If you're a fan of Trophy Dark/Trophy Gold, just a quick heads up that a bunch of Trophy writers are compiling new incursions for a Kickstarter for next year.

Thanks!! & same, it was a wonderful time !

I'm 33 today!! i think childhood me would be thrilled to see the shape my life is taking in this big and strange world and that's all I could ever hope for

I read @monsterpotion.bsky.social's new version of Fight Truck, and cried about it. Then I wrote this. It's personal and vulnerable and bold and I'm very proud. I'd love to hear from anyone if this speaks to you, and I want to hear why other people seek out risky play .

And now it's today!!

A scratched up rainbow gradient with grainy words in a stack from top to bottom saying "foresight-studio.com" repeatedly. At the top is large white text "Foresight Shop will have a couple zines in it & more soon." At the bottom is the text "Coming December 3rd (my birthday hehe)."

Oops that's tomorrow

Thanks for all the recs y'all, this is fantastic
