Unexpected Kickstarter delivery! A new NES game :)

Just heard a radio station blank out the P Diddy line in the Kesha song.

TWERPS is a multi-setting TTRPG like GURPS, but you only have one stat.

Small World - of Warcraft. Some interesting changes that increase considerations for positioning and holding locations. Good for experienced Small World players, but adds some hurdles for new players.

There is no appeasing fascists. "I'm going to let you put the boot on my throat, but just a little and just this once, ok?" is not negotiation.
