Love to see @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social pulling off a very groovy psychedelic heist in @olddog.games BLADES '68 (courtesy of @evilhat.bsky.social). ππ‘οΈπ

A letter-sized handout titled "How to Play Hard and Have Fun in '68". The principles are: 1. Go in boots and all. The campaign will be shorter than you think. Make stuff happen now. Donβt wait, pull the trigger. 2. Dig the other characters. Dial in on the other player characters, pay attention to their narrative, and get your own character involved. Be their fan, or be their foil. 3. Make the GM sweat. Think of the game like a physics toy, and push the levers you have as hard as you can, just to see what happens. Rattle the cage, jump out the window, donβt look down. Move so fast the GM canβt keep up. 4. Sell the punches. Always choose the bigger reaction. Let your character be changed by the world and by the other characters. Let them be upset, emotional, irrational. 5. Fuck around and find out. If your character dies, they can come back as an echo. If they have to retire, you can always make a new character. The crew cannot be stopped. Act first and think later, make bad decisions, let the chips fall where they may. 6: Learn to stop worrying and love consequences. Most rolls are going to have consequences. Wouldnβt it be boring to succeed all the time? Embrace consequences, and create consequences, then roll them up in a giant ball of chaos and surf on top.

No, it isn't. Fuck off.
At the end of every month, I send out a pair of PDFs compiling the maps and text from that month's map releases to all paying patrons of my Patreon Campaign.
Thank you for your support, Patrons, you make these maps possible.

Not sure how to get to 100 follows on Five Fires...uhmm, it's compatible with Mork Borg, or something? (it isn't).
Give a peek and see if you want to pay for it to go further. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

If your household income is high and you are doing ok you have 2 options in life:
1) shut the fuck up OR
2) loudly advocate for things to change to everyone can do ok too

Everyone is different, but once I got a Casper, that was it. Totally perfect in every way.
