It's always a joy to talk to Meg and Vincent. Ben facilitated a really fun conversation here, orbiting around Apocalypse World and spinning off into all kinds of game design thoughts.

Welcome to Hellstruck, formerly Awestruck, until that damn rock was discovered. This is the wild weird west where anything can happen. So get yourself a posse to stake your claim or hunker down until the dust settles.

My friend Eli just finished their game Sword Opera: a breathtakingly good take on the Forged in the Dark formula. It's got duels, a fantastical setting that reminds me of the Green Bone Saga mixed with Shakespearian magic, and lots of potential for melodrama.

My hill: kids are naturally creative and artistic. You give kids paper and something to draw with and you will get the wildest shit ever created. It's an actual tragedy & horrifically anti-human to be shoving AI on them and encouraging them to stunt that essential part of themselves.

Last week my home group hit a big milestone: One of us---somebody who has never GM-ed or written a game before---ran a game they wrote themselves. It was a blast! Fun is abundance. I can do it. You can do it. This is the point: more people making, playing, sharing, encouraging each other.

Thread of Robin Hood characters drawings! First up: Robin Hood! "Unfairly/trecherously displaced noble" Robin is a later invention to make the stories more palatable to a moneyed audience; in the best versions he's a charismatic yeoman (i.e. commoner not legally tied to a noble's land) trickster.

Wanted to cast a self-deprecating joke; it is also an AoE spell. All creatives, save vs. impostor syndrome (DC 17). On failure, become incapacitated by the creeping suspicion you don't actually know what you're doing. Effect lasts 1d4 business days, or until positive feedback is received.

are wallpapers still a thing? Should I create some for A Fistful of Darkness? Are there any fans out there who want some? To make clear how old I am: I'm talking backgrounds for your PC's desktop... not phones / handhelds. IMO too few space to show off something impressive.

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it. If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced. If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking. Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.

Slugblaster's excellent. Runners in the Shadows is my favorite edition of Shadowrun. Moth-Light is the Nausicaa game that I let slip through my fingers the last time I had a chance at it that I desperately need to recapture. But right now? I'm going to heartily recommend A Fistful of Darkness.
