Time waits for no crowdfunder!

Happy Friday y'all. (Wishing it was happy anyway.)

Great game! I played Invictus, a Vicious Paladin who Abides in Bone. (Sorta a bone golem raised years ago by @shannagermain.bsky.social 's Necromancer in a fluke reanimation, skinning the Abides in Stone focus.)

Come along for a bit of a play-by-play of today's #cypher fantasy game, using the updated version! No one's going to die. Probably. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #RPG #TTRPG

The pros of not reading off a script include a more authentic presentation. The cons include, as I demonstrate here, sometimes crafting sentences that make no goddamn sense :)

All my novels and short stories (10+), and about forty of the game books I wrote (or co-wrote) were scraped. So, I'll put my name in the hat for the ones I'm paid through royalties (i.e., none of the game products, but all the novels and short stories).

My goal is to cultivate this concept today: Boredom is underappreciated serenity.

And they just made The Strange a stretch goal!! Let’s goooooo! @montecookgames.com @brucecordell.bsky.social

I left Wizards in 2013, ending my 4-edition run of writing official Dungeons & Dragons content. Since then, I've been writing official Cypher System RPG settings, games, and adventures for MCG. And look--we're putting out our own new edition of Cypher, starting today!

Just finished high noon the other day. A physical copy of the deck could be fun.

We checked out the Renaissance festival north of Seattle yesterday. My wizard's outfit was more thrown together, but Batgirl has a deep closet when it comes to costuming.

Excited our weird west custom card deck is out: The Midnight Deck! (If you have High Noon at Midnight, you'll find extra rules for using the deck, besides the obvious one of playing poker, heh.) Card art and design by the super-talented Javier P. Beltrán www.montecookgames.com/midnight-deck/

We've been working behind the scenes on this possibility for (looks at calendar)... one year this month.

A tornado anecdote from my youth www.patreon.com/posts/chapte...

My character Canabulum, a 'wizard minotaur' based on a 3e creature I designed (arcane minotaurs called incanabulum), in magnificent miniature form as constructed and painted by Monte Cook during the 3E era. (Thanks @seankreynolds.bsky.social for unearthing and rebasing him!)

Fear is the tool of a tyrant.

A great game of @montecookgames.com First Responders last night. Everyday heroes tackling a downtown fire and a toxic cloud. Thanks to Jim, Allan, Neil and Howard for playing—and to @shannagermain.bsky.social and @brucecordell.bsky.social for a great game.

It's very obvious that the NYT has put people in editorial positions who view it as part of their job to upset the left. This is, in the bizarro, insular world of US elites, seen as a way to restore balance & regain the trust of the right. Putting aside the merits of the larger effort ...

May the 4th be with you.

A fun addendum to an upcoming CS campaign setting called Gunslinger Knights.

Saturday ready.

Choo choo! Our Backertrain is live! Join now by backing Invisible Sun: Electric and Indigo! mymcg.info/indigo

The #InvisibleSunRPG Indigo and Electric crowdfund ends today at 5pm PT, so I'm posting a bunch of inspirational links for your Invisible Sun narrative! Starting with the actual crowdfund link: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

"If you are tired of cashing in monsters for experience, and always having to make the optimal choice rather than the most interesting one, then you are ready for the advancement systems in Invisibile Sun." —C. Barney It's the FINAL DAYS of Invisible Sun: Indigo! 📚💀 🔮🗝️ mymcg.info/indigo

Reading Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks (and considering re-reading a bunch of Culture novels after that!) Also reading (aurally) How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler-an irreverent fusion of Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe meets the First Fifteen Lives of Harry August meets D&D

Last night I rolled two 1s in a row. Not especially unexpected... But then I rolled two 20s! (The 20 on a Planebreaker die shows an interdimensionally wandering moonlet.)

James is a mensch, a tabletop RPG connoisseur, and has good taste in books ;)

I'm about halfway through Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, and loving it.

Sun basking dog.

All this. And the argument for it is ... lol, there's no argument, no justification, no case, no logic. They just need the money for tax cuts for rich people.

I'm looking through the Big Beautiful Bill for a pod I'm recording tomorrow and ... it's difficult to avoid the feeling that I'm squinting at excrement smeared on the walls by toddlers, struggling to find some sort of meaning or larger intention.

Should be fun :)

This game is unlike anything else I've ever played. I highly recommend it.
