to my mind, the core of pbta is not "2d6+stat with mixed successes", it's the system of "when x trigger happens in the fiction, apply y specific mechanic". Codified, genre specific moves are its main innovation. If you think pbta is just 2d6+stat with varied levels of success, you missed the point

Need a name for the Venusian Boarding teams in AFC (my hard sci-fi navy combat rpg.) These names are already taken: -Breacher (GGC) -Pirates (Pirates) -Buccaners (Pirates) -Marines (Mars) -Rangers (Mars) -Droptroopers (Earth) Any ideas?

With Assault Fleet Centauri I currently have all the ships for a faction listed in order of corvettes, frigates, carriers, cruisers, fighters, shuttles, and auxiliary craft. I've also experimented with listing the main carrier group first... But maybe I could present example taskforces instead?

Great to work with Reizor on this. If you're into crunchy hard sci-fi games, one to watch.

Got some cool Assault Fleet Centauri news: @alexconnolly.bsky.social recently completed an art piece for the game. Painting is untitled at this stage, but I'm very impressed with Alex's work. This is the first bit of art I've commissioned for the project and I'm really happy with it.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of The Nakba, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, which began in 1948 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes, with hundreds of villages destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were murdered. The Nakba never ended.

If Terraforming Mars appeals to you but you don’t want to support people with a public record of transphobia, may I suggest a much better game made by much better people Daybreak is incredible.

New graphic update 🥰 Will I be yapping along with the incredible and amazing Phoebe Watson about changing the game, or changing to play games, or game changing? You'll have to find out? Next week at the Museum of History NSW in Sydney, Thursday 21st @ 6pm. Register for free! my.mhnsw.au/279758

Completely forgot that Section 5 has Community Copies when I put up the Assault Fleet Centauri quickstart. However AFC was more expensive to create. I'll make ya a deal, for every copy of the AFC quickstart sold this week, I'll put up 10 community copies, sound good? raycox.itch.io/assault-flee...

You should buy my poetry zine

Out on Itch as of today! samrobsondmg.itch.io/magestar

Working on Section 5 my sci-fi spy game, need some help. What one item would a spy have on them in order to help them get from a blown mission to the bugout bag they hid in the city?

Sen.Thorpe: "We’ve seen neo-Nazis attack Camp Sovereignty, white supremacist terrorism unleashed against Aboriginal people on Invasion Day in Boorloo, and now our Muslim brothers and sisters being targeted during Ramadan. White supremacy is not fringe. It is organised, persistent and escalating."

Was messing around with some updates the Section 5 Traits, trying to have less abilites that are just +1 or bonus dice, and FINALLY was in the mood to write up some combat drugs. Wanna see some examples?

I think there might be a hidden comment on this post that I can't see... Not sure what that's about.

question for the brains trust: I'm making an example gadgetman/techie character for my sci-fi spy rpg, what is their day job? This character should feel like your mate that's always helping you fix stuff and has a lot of DIY contraptions around their house instead of appliances.

Definetly check out this game, I've followed it for a while and I think it's gonna be a banga!

How cute is this medieval numbat?

I actually started this project as a way to reuse some of the writing I was doing for a hobby event. The DIY/punk focused mini games crew I'm part of is doing a decentralised campaign of Stargrave in our own setting, Sunbound. I rolled up a corpo merc squad, and knew what I had to do.

Want a sneak peek at what I've been working on the last couple of weeks?

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since the wonderful @uselrei1500.bsky.social and I released our first collab zine! 💖😻

Against my better judgement (because I'm meant to be focusing on poetry this year) I've started writing a splat book for Section 5 and AFC. It's basically an enemy guide for a specific mercenary team used by Earth's Homeworld Security agency. Y'all want a sneak peek?

Did you know that I write poetry? @raewhite.bsky.social and I just published a small anthology zine with all poetry collaborations inside it. We've been romantic and artistic partners since 2018, and yet it took us all that time to finally publish a poetry Zine together. itch.io/b/3504/i-fee...

Hey so I haven't made any money last month cuz I gave away what little I earned from that AusRPG bundle. I don't make a lot at the best of times, but it would be really awesome if you went and bought some of my games at the moment. I have a new poetry compilation zine out as well, buy that.

Tanya makes such good shit! Dripping with themes! You gotta buy this.

Get this occult action thriller ttRPG for 1-7 people. Perfect if you enjoy playing powerful undead revenants embroiled in breakneck action, interpersonal drama, and occult investigation. Soundtrack by @mollynoise.bsky.social and human-made art by @stregawolf.art. Jump in now for early bird deals!

Fascinating answer about fascism by a Disco Elysium dev 👌

Over the 8 years my Partner @raewhite.bsky.social and I have been together, we've written a few poems together. We've been wanting to collect those into a Zine for a while now, and here it is! 'I Feed You Words' collects and remasters our collab poetry. itch.io/b/3504/i-fee...

All right, that's a wrap folks. Didn't quite make it to our $1,000 goal but still an impressive effort. 79 bundles sold, and I guess $90 US dollars raised for NPY.

Me and a bunch of aus based game designers made a little showcase bundle of TTRPGs. Celebrating our work from 2025. $10 for 16 games. Less than 48 hours left to buy. itch.io/b/3462/ausrp...
