Day 1 of Dragoons resolved!!! It took me about two hours, hoping that'll decrease as people submit fewer longer orders over time, and also as I get more used to the process.
Really excited to run three months of this wargame, and get some good workflow practice in for Solar later this year.

Something exciting is happening. Be a part of it ⤵️
I know, I know, I keep talking about the Bloggies.
But I built an archive of all the past Bloggies Awards. If that's your kind of thing, take a look!
You can also grab yearly OPML files of all nominees for your RSS reader.

Don't wanna pester folks too much, but I've been homeless for the last year and we're currently fundraising to get me over to somewhere I'll have safe housing and can finally start living a better life.

@lukegearing.bsky.socials adventure: itch.io/b/3536/mayas...
Millie was a foundational element of fostering the community in #over/under and it should come with no surprise that the person behind her is even better at it. Maya's been in a rough spot for far too long, and still has been spending most of that time looking out for others. If you can, please help
something tells me you'd enjoy running Mythic Bastionland ;)
You can pick up the adventure discussed in the post here: lukegearing.itch.io/glass-men
Proceeds are going towards getting one of the dolls out of a tight spot. Pay what you can, or donate directly to the fundraiser linked on the page.
Glass Men is an adventure module about a girl called Honey and what a fragile, brittle, cruel man did to her. One of its 4 varient covers was made by me. You can read a full break down of how I designed it here: thegardenbelow.blot.im/depicting-vi...
Heed the content warnings on this one folks.
Juniper has taken the RPG blogging scene by storm, and this is another great piece. All I can say is go read it and go pick up Glass Men, not necessarily in that order.
excited to get stuck in and test Pixel and Paper! I prefer to write in markdown, so this could be a game changer for me.
Four days in, and 53 nominated Bloggies posts have already been read and recorded by wonderful authors and volunteers, then published on the We Read The Bloggies podcast.
Truly incredible!
I’ll forever be thinking about O/U and all the brilliant things that game did for me and my place in the hobby, and all the strange things it did *to me*.
Cant wait to read every word Lin writes about it, and you should read too.

Thank you!
a mechanic out of context -- is the Mothership d100 under-designed? should GM advice be rules? Is this just a gap between cultures of play? edmocat.bearblog.dev/a-mechanic-o...

happy birthday!
A new player is entering the fray this week for my office Cairn campaign which means I've added another new ancestry bonus over on the blog - THE MANCAT: meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/1/...
Looks fascinating - I work with markdown, I'd love to give your beta version a try please!
F the 💿🐴!!! elfgames are not praxis!
great players make GMs better, and that's never been more true in my experience than the Cloud Empress session we played yesterday.
(no shade on Troika, which I enjoy a lot)
absolutely agree, though where I'd say CE has an edge over Troika is that watt's reworking of the stress+panic rules from Mothership are more harmonious with the "violence is scary/awful, and a hard choice not a default behaviour" principle. It's such a good game.
absolutely stunning - Cloud Empress has one of the strongest and most refreshing aesthetics I've ever seen in RPGs. Great game to play too!
Your take is on the money! In retrospect, I wish I had made it more clear that Cairn as-written is how I play, and that my post was a thought-experiment responding to people I'd spoken to on Discord who said their groups wanted some D&D-like advancement and D&D-ish backgrounds. Some lessons learned!
I wrote a theory post. Don't worry, I paid taxes at the end.
