Planet Arcana: Campaign Finale. An illustration of MC Harley Highstakes, a gears android woman with multiple rotating faces and slots in her chest. To the right of her is white text reading: The house always wins. The background of the image is black with white swirls and bright pin pricks, almost like a starry night sky.

Three Fools, and the house that always wins.

Part 2 of our 3 part finale airs next week.

Yeah. On the one hand it encourages use, but on the other it could put pressure on people to use them just because they feel like they have to. It could be a good optional rule. I'll ask players what they think in practice

Abbadon uses playing cards instead of dice. Your deck depletes with every action as Haven's darkness grows. Four archetypes tied to card suits face impossible choices against demonic hordes. losthavenart.com/ttr... #Abbadon #ttrpg

I'll make a note to ask about that in the next round of play tests 😊

I'm yet to play with a selfish or competitive group that might need more incentive though. It's an interesting thought.

I've found so far in testing that its more often the case that players have too many FP than not enough. As far as players not being willing to hand over the reigns, it hasn't happened yet, since in most cases players intentionally pass the baton after a few mins.

That's an amazing compliment, thank you!
I'd love to hear any other feedback or if you get around to playing, definitely let me know!

I really wanted to encourage spending and engagement with the system! It also means there's a momentum increase as the game goes on until someone spends big. That's the thing I spend the most time tweaking.

Prelaunch follow screenshot for Skies Above showing 214 followers.

Prelaunch follow screenshot for Skies Above showing 214 followers.

So the campaign is going live 4 weeks tomorrow for Skies Above. I was hoping this prelaunch follow count would be at least 250 and 2 weeks ago I got 10 new follows so that seemed likely. Last week I actually lost 2 followers which is making me nervous.

for those in the performing arts, what is the difference between your desire to perform and your desire to entertain? is there a meaningful difference at all? i'm genuinely curious

21.07.2025 17:34 β€” πŸ‘ 18    πŸ” 7    πŸ’¬ 7    πŸ“Œ 0

Personally, my desire to perform is very limited. I'm never happy being perceived, I hate too much attention and I hate seeing or hearing myself on camera. Anything I create is purely with the intention of entertaining others and part of that requires me to perform.

Hey guess what!?

Locus is on a creative commons open licence and as a toolbox style rpg is actually pretty easy to produce your own stuff for!

I feel like watching brain rot content is extremely damaging but also essential to understanding how culture is evolving. It's like a wizard staring into an evil orb for just long enough to learn enemy plans, but not so long that you start building an army worthy of Mordor.

I'm kinda torn about the final fantasy set for MTG. It feels like a momentous moment that a lot of people are excited about, but also a death at the same time.
