Pull a card from a 52-card deck and the deck changes. Pull twenty more and you'll watch it get colder — fewer suits, lower variance, the deck telling you what it has left to give. A poker deck is a randomizer with memory. Dice are amnesiacs.

Play / Run / X-Card. You know what time it is! Good Monday Gamers! 🤬 open.substack.com/pub/playfear...?

Wild Talents: the eXorcists. Session Zero: vs MARAUDERz @orklord.bsky.social x @madjay.bsky.social

As the creators learn more about their games, what they want them to do, and how to go about doing it. There's always a little bit of tension about this, like "oh no, they're abandoning PbtA," but to me that tension's very natural. I consider them dramatic successes of the PbtA project!

Roll for Origin: Supers TTRPG History: Ep. 9 Aberrant @madjay.bsky.social and I talk Aberrant, part of a trilogy of games at major pivot point for White Wolf. We talk pitch & mechanics, pub history & the setting media influences. We finish w/ thoughts about metaplot & "wide-screen" supers. #ttrpg

Alright, returning to my roots. Prepping a series by request, Wild Talents RPG, featuring a return of the eXorcists. My Canva mood board.

10 Years Later: a gamechanger for Apocalypse World: Burned Over I tried my hand and wrote this one up. Now, could we just say, "Let's start 10 years later next session?" Sure! But I wanted it to come when the moment wasn't perfect to do so. I wanted the flash forward to be at a possibly awkward…

Hey @toastyseahorse.bsky.social let's talk about your amazing game! One of the things I really like about it is the catharsis of doing good in the world by any means necessary. Was that part of your goal?
