What a treat reading this interviews/essay covering some of the absolute weirdos in SF that are elevated by the idiot whims of our gonzo VC tech barony era

Fun thing that's just a bit too loose for publishing or a blog entry - I've been putting "Vengeance Monster" entries on my random encounter tables. When I roll that, I pick out an adversary the players have faced before, add a few ranks and a new ability or two, and give it some... (1/2)
It's BLOGGIES Season again!

Fresh post up, some day I'll get back to blogging regularly again!
"Just tell them" is such an underrated piece of advice for telegraphing dangers in RPGs.
"How can I hint that the hallway is trapped? How can I hint that if they defeat the dungeon lord, they become the next dungeon lord?"
Just tell them. Tell them out loud. With your words.
I want to print this blogpost out and tape it to my bathroom mirror to recite like an affirmation each morning. There's a million ways to have fun with games but this pithily sums up what I personally enjoy most in playing or running an RPG.

Proud to announce that my enormous infernal OSE adventure module “The Shrike” has won gold for best long form adventure at the ENNIE awards! Thank you to everyone who voted for us! You will be spared from eternal life marooned upon the monstrous iron edifice!
Ahhh yeah!
Would appreciate your Ennies vote for The Shrike for best long form adventure! Nobody does extradimensional hellscape sandbox adventurers like Leo.

Collecting some posts from yesterday into a blog post, which attempts to correct the notion that the OSR was just retroclones: arrested development gob yelling "come on!" dot gif.
Knock magazines are some art packed great collections of some of the most impactful blog posts contributed by a large cross section of the scene with sweet micro supplements and adventures.

Just finished a hilariously scary game of Mothership run by the lovely @joelhines.bsky.social

A portrait of Governor Stieg Tanaka, a severe looking woman with black hair in a high collared uniform and sash.
I am enjoying bullying my players with tea ceremonies and icy politeness as they meet Karth Governor Stieg Tanaka and her bioluminescent shark Shashihoko.
Shashihoko is a merciless apex predator. So is Tanaka.
They're terrified.
