What would a dogma 95 style manifesto look like for TTRPGs?

Price of Coal, a game I wanted to love but didn't blog.alexrinehart.net/posts/review...

I heard a rumor that there are over 200 miles of tunnels running under America's largest city. Beyond that, there are entrances strewn across the place, if you can find them. I've even heard that once down inside, there are massive trains that can transport you all around, at incredible speeds.

Trying to think if there's any rules I think genuinely do/should apply to all RPGs/groups and I think I have three. 1. Pitch your game properly and extensively so people know what they're agreeing to play. 2. Get explicit consent for anything outside that (this does include dice fudging)

Running Gamma World 7e this weekend! It's my wife's favorite game, but we haven't played it in... Golly, going on six years at least

The Hotbox is the most complex mech in Cyberrats in Space. It carefully balances Heat, enabling it to deal devestating amount of Harm depending on what zone its in. Thematically, it's a repurposed all-in-one kitchen box, complete with Sudz™ brand dishwasher attachment

20 years after the cool kids, I am finally playing super Mario sunshine. Be prepared for takes as hot as they are timely.

good morning, Seattle :)

My nephew turns 3 today. I assume he'll spend the day playing hades 2, naturally

My first job was working for a company that has since been rolled into Collins Aerospace. Can't imagine how hectic this would be there now. Seems like every company needs to have cybersecurity expertise these days. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

2 hours left in the day. Make a dog's night.

This is embarrassing but I just today realized the pun in Tails' name. Miles Prower. Miles per Hour.

If Cyberrats in Space gets to 90 followers by the end of today, I will give this dog a belly rub

4 more followers in the kickstarter preview and this guy can have his belly rub

Realistically I made the decision months ago, but confirming it today: not going to finish twin peaks

text and word balloons can be treated with just as much craft and character as the rest of the comic page

Boy there sure are a lot of hades clones out there. Some aren't even trying to hide it. Sworn, 33 immortals are among the most egregious

why are trains so cool

@backwardsttrpg.bsky.social asked for mech mini games, so I made one. It's a delightful little minigame that perfectly captures the terrible feeling of trying to use someone else's computer. It's possible "delightful" is the wrong word. Enjoy! itch.io/jam/mecha-mi...

Fence is fantastic. Queer sports drama comic with a wide cast of well developed characters. The only downside is the issue/volume naming convention is absolute bonkers

Spectres of Brocken is great, I keep recommending it to people as a rare game that manages to meaningfully ground physical conflict in narrative-emotional context.

Cyberrats in Space version 0.10 coming soon! Sweeping changes!

Got a new wizard lamp today, what's up

Cyberrats in Space includes a bunch of Side Hustles, optional gigs that you can take in between getting your just revenge and all that.

Had some pals over for a naked gun streaming party (the movie). What a delight! Incredible rate of jokes per minute, with some absolute classic bits throughout.

If you're making a pirate TTRPG and the ship doesn't have it's own character sheet I don't know what to tell you.

It's a new system (well, it builds off the original Cyberrats, except full color and with mechs) Here's the kickstarter for the original game www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

Updated based on some early feedback! Same game, now with more clarity!

apparently nobody made any normal train posters before 1929

This was inspired, among other things, by the scene in the first episode is season 2 of Andor where our pilot attempts to control a prototype TIE fighter. It doesn't go well!

In typical Alex Rinehart fashion, this game has a very fun conceit, with very clever mechanics too: A mech ttrpg that captures the feeling of using someone else's computer. I love it

Hey man, how've you been? Been a long time. How's your dog? Does your dog ever ask about me? Is your dog busy this weeken

I finished season one of Mr Robot and I'm sorry but the actors for Darlene and Shayla look too simllar I need some better cues to tell them apart.

16 more, ya beautiful rodents

This weekend I'm running Price of Coal, the historic RPG about labor disputes leading up to the real-life battle of Blair Mountain. It's a hard pitch for a game, but I'm very excited about it!

I spend almost 400 words in the original Cyberrats talking about telegraphing. Josh has a more succinct, direct, and effective approach.

Give us a follow, won't you? www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

Kodi (formerly XMBC) is SO much faster than VLC for watching DVDs.

We've got a mech that's made of previously recycled interns. It's more meat than machine, really. We've got the Germinator, which is repurposed farm equipment The beatbox is a karaoke machine you can ride The frog eats people and hops around And those are just SOME of the mechs we've got!

Today marks five years since the v1.0 launch of HADES!! With HADES II v1.0 out next week, we wanted to express our deepest gratitude for all your support of the original. THANK YOU!!💘🔥 HADES is now 75% off for the occasion, & we're streaming now on Steam, YouTube, & Twitch.

I'm reading a Business Book and I feel like the author is playing a joke with me by including inscrutable idioms and pretending they're clear

Oh man the changes here are sweeping and GOOD! Folks we're making something really cool over in Cyberrats labs right now!
