Apple Music on Mac has the most nightmare UI you'll ever encounter. Demonic.

I was the keeper for a recent campaign of PA (detailed notes! docs.google.com/document/d/1...).

I've been playing RPGs for 30+ years. I have a few truly memorable RPG experiences that will stay with me, the sort you and your players will talk about for years. Public Access is now one of them.

Public Access has a perfect mix of creepy vibes and nostalgia. Watching the tapes is such a cool experience. - Paul Vincent Table Cat Games

Public Access plays in the space between the familiar and unfamiliar with the horror that lives there - strangers living together to chase the mystery of a childhood home they left long ago and drenched in a nostalgia for a time not quite as they remember it. Good luck. Have fun. Don’t Die. (or do)

Gemini Sun means you get TWO :

β€œBestie pissed in an industrial ice cream vat to solve The Dream. It was awesome.”

OR

β€œPublic Access is a desert fever dream of distant nostalgia and pure horror, a quintessential CfB experience for system newbies and veterans alike.”

My birthday is the 21st, so if anyone would like to donate to ttrpg-art-grandma (me), it will end up being spent on more game stuff, and animals. XD

After a fun 4 session playtest I've been making progress on Spirits of the New Age, my Swinging London hack of The Between. I knocked out some placeholder art for the playbooks (including the 3 from the original game that work pretty much unmodified). Indulge me as I thread…

Reminder that I've got an RPG work-in-progress going called Step Right Up (based on The Between). The setting: 1930s Dust Bowl Oklahoma. Players are performers in a traveling carnival, facing threats both supernatural and mundane.

There's an ashcan, for now:

In a campaign of Public Access I played in, a backyard party turned into a multidimensional trek to a desert populated with enormous scorpions and time made visible, but mostly I remember how the Keeper terrified all of us with Mean Teenagers on Bikes who made us feel like dorks.
