We are so thrilled at the art for PICARO! and how fun the game has been to play with friends and random fellow scallywags. Thanks to the judges for recognizing RPG Zine Club, and Wes, Tony, and team for believing in early modern fantasy wealth redistribution!

Wowww. Sharing this news/discussion:

Still thinking about this very useful conspyramid for a Severance-esque game: it was so easy and fun to use in planning a modern/sci-fi TTRPG (or fiction) plot! I am legit going to try to build one of these for Stillfleet…
