Is there a more exciting moment in any writer's life than having someone say "I like you game, can I translate it into French?" THERE IS NOT. Now I haven't spoken a lick of French since college, but if YOU know the language of Romance and want to use it to play lesbian necromancers in space...

Just passed through Swindon on the train. So many unpleasant memories...

ICYMI: game good now.

It's Shakespeare's birthday today, sort of. And I have a new game that adapts his R&J. I enjoy his plays and poetry, but this game isn't intended to be a layer of paint on his pedestal. It is meant to "open up" the play and invite you to think about it (and chess and the RPG as a form) in new ways.

"...on they came at a precipitous rate, stunted jaundiced horrors cyclopean and half-clothed, dull mouths agape, crying "pip, pip" and "hello buddies" in their grotesque subhuman voices. I crouched in my hiding place. "Poopay," they gibbered. "POOPAY!" - H.P. Lovecraft, "The Banana on the Threshold"

Oh hey they uhhh made some accent... choices... for the Witch Hat Atelier dub, huh?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that whenever I release the first edition/jam entry/playtest version of a new TTRPG I will choose two fonts that are "good enough for now, at least," and that I will later come to hate one of them and yet be unable to find a replacement that I don't also hate.

My GMing style? How GMless can I make this game before my players notice and ask if I could actually not offload quite so much responsibility onto them?

You gotta be watching a movie obviously. Pick the worst one you can think of. Roll off, single lowest roll starts as a demon, they will ruin the movie cracking bad jokes the whole time. If you laugh at one you become a demon too. Continue until everyone is a demon or the movie ends with survivors.

Somewhere in the Dreams update: the game feels good, scheduling playtests is taking longer than I'd hoped but it's happening, and I keep going back and forth on the rules text and layout so I'm not quite ready to release an updated PDF.
