The cover of Blades in the Dark next to the cover of Blades '68

The cover of Blades in the Dark next to the cover of Blades '68

In celebration of the imminent Blades β€˜68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design.

BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.

Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

Cairn Press The official website for the Cairn Press imprint.

Next month I will launch Cairn Press.
I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here:

The table that we used for our Mausritter: Honey in the Rafters one-shot. My wife, Cita, played Callista the Merchant. Her eldest niece played Kimberly the Doctor. The youngest played Lisa the Princess. Cita drew the mouse portraits.

Finished running @losing.games Mausritter: Honey in the Rafters for my wife (a Tabletop RPG player) and her two nieces (10 yo and 5 yo). They had to find honey to cure illness that afflicted the village's mice. In the end, they succeeded! But... the villagers are now worshippers of the God of Sugar!

I hate that all but one of us got funded. So much so that I have an announcement.

CROW 'N JEWELS BY FROGGY IS CONFIRMED FOR FLIGHTS OF FANCY

That means you're getting six adventures. We're paying out of pocket because we refuse to compromise on fair pay.

Please give Froggy a roaring welcome!!!

Today's article is two things: First and foremost, it's focused upon introducing your table to the wide world of options available to them when it comes to picking their second system.

Second, it was a chance to amp up and cheerlead for some my favorite indie TTRPGs, and the creators that made them

Let me sell it you in a sentence: you play tiny mice and you use real-world stickers to assemble your tiny mechs.

I love Max' animation. But did you know that there was a prologue?

"Overflowing from the human world,
Dustbunnies spilled out into the forest.
Like a tangleweed they spread.
Now, the floor is lavβ€”*cough*-ishly covered,
And there is only one thing left to do."
