Remember SKILL CHALLENGES? They're back! In blog form! Check out my latest post where I lay out an easy and fun way to handle a complex, tense situation. It works in every TTRPG ever made up until this point and all future TTRPGs (disclaimer: this is a lie)

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

I love combat systems with hit locations. The only thing better than kicking someone off a ledge is taking off their arm. BUT they're always so fiddly! I'd love to use hit locations in an OSR game. So here's a little system with a new combat resolution scheme.

The thing about smartphones is that they do legitimately save a bunch of time, eliminate a bunch of chores, and remove a bunch of friction. But we live in a society that is incapable of translating those gains into additional leisure time.
