While being in uni meant I was listening to a lot of soundtracks as background music while studying, it was also when I started to get into post-punk, and one of the key texts for me to get there was Bauhaus' Burning From the Inside.

It was awesome talking to Chris about a favorite Mothership module of mine, Picket Line Tango on the Ansible Uplink!

So annoying how they're spread across a bunch of different websites.

What does product development cover in this context?

Binary is an exciting voice in TTRPGs. All of the things I've seen them helm or work on have been very interesting, playing with unique mechanics and a sharp writing voice. Go check out null space!

You can always stare at your pocket sized window to hell.

🚨BLOGGIES NOMINEES ALERT🚨

There's so much good stuff this year. More diversity in terms of play-culture niches (folks from story games / outside the OSR-sphere) and geography (congrats to the Indonesian delegation)!

This year's Bloggies Nominees Over 90+ blog posts. And a surprise category for 2026.

The Bloggies Nominees are here!

We are 1 week away from voting, so I need everyone's help spreading the word. Congrats to all the nominees and blogs submitted—this last year was incredible. Forming the lists was equal parts rewarding and painful.

Good thread pointing out the similarities between modern OSR and storygames!

This was one of the main reasons I started following your work back then, excited to hear you might start it up again!

I think this may be geographically dependent (and depends on what you mean by "playing cards") - I learnt a few years ago that e.g. a "standard" set of playing cards in Spain is different from the one used in northern Europe.
