Grinding out the last few pages of DDHS appendices. After that it's onto reformatting the table of contents. An Index is probably worthwhile too, but maybe that can wait

I'm not actually sure if anyone has run anything I've made. Plenty of downloads, but no concrete proof of this stuff making it to the table.

Not trying to whine, just a reminder to tell your favourite creators if/when you run their stuff!

On Space And Cyberpunk (NULL_SPACE Devlog) What is the intended vibe of NULL_SPACE? β€œCyberpunk-esque” # Shannon at The Novel Gamemaster described NULL_SPACE on bluesky as having β€œa low-powered mothership feel but leaning towards more cyberpunk...

Condensed a thread posted here a few days ago about NULL_SPACE and why it's like that (setting-wise) into a blogpost:

Financially Responsible Skirmish Miniatures - Lone Archivist I’ve been getting interested in the skirmish gaming scene which has slowly been growing over the past couple of years but recently has been lit on

I wrote a bit about making papercraft minis and standees for skirmish games.

Posting this again because I was just notified of a new crowdfunder that clearly uses AI in their process.

Fortunately they disclosed it but, ironically, they forgot to read their copy and just reused text from the LAST project they did which also used AI.

Mike Pondsmith Michael Alyn Pondsmith (born April 14, 1954[citation needed]) is an American roleplaying, board and video game designer. He is the founder of R. Talsorian Games and the creator of the acclaimed Cyberp...

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

Devlog 1: Lifepath The Lifepath hit a major milestone (getting playtested by correspondents), so it’s time to document it and my intentions. The Basic Approach The system asks players to create characters in five step.....

Finished the Lifepath prototype for Freefallers, my 2d6 sci-fi heartbreaker.

Curious to see the quirky, maladjusted characters this can make.

A black and white drawing of my version of an NCPD (Night City Police Department) Officer.

It shows a police officer, with a helmet and flak jacket, reaching for his gun. There's a halftone rectangle behind his head with the NCPD Badge to the right. By his feat there are two crushed cans and there is paper blowing in the wind.
