"There is no happy few band of brothers in The Surge. Only a person trying to find his way towards something more human than the war itself can offer."

Appreciated this non-AI review of THE SURGE from @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social!
Grilled cheese sandwich.
What would *your* book smell like if you engaged in a mega weirdo scented pages promotional campaign?
Many thanks to @firstage.bsky.social for running HARD VACUUM - Issue 01: Pirate Bait at this year's FurnaceCon XX in the UK. Not surprised to learn the PCs' plan went "explosively awry," and I hope everyone enjoyed the action.
HARD VACUUM - Issue 10: Containment Breach. The most challenging adventure in the series, so far. Intrigue. Terror. Low odds of survival. An old-school dungeon crawl. It's a bug hunt. Now available @drivethrurpg.com.

In sci fi, it's often fun for the players to keep adventuring while their starship undergoes repairs for a week. Or helpful for the referee to have a scenario handy when the dice sends the PCs to another solar system. My totally biased opinion, of course.

That crack Texas National Guard outfit deployed to Chicago really hit the ground running.

"Broadview police officers observed the vans parked in the rear of 2000 25th Ave. and all of the guards were sleeping," the statement said. "We let them sleep undisturbed."

Really enjoyed our Q&A, Travis. Appreciate the opportunity to shoot my mouth off. You're fabulous.
Re-upping this post ... for no particular reason.
I served in the Illinois National Guard from 2006-2009 and the Chicago-area units were comprised mainly of:
1. Dirty cops
2. Gangbangers
3. Immigrants
4. 2A nut jobs
5. Suburban teenagers addicted to video games
If that's still the case, this is gonna be one wacky deployment.
Scoundrels of Brixton: Savage Frontier. Dangerous locations, new starships, devious NPCs and challenging missions. Make your #CepheusEngine or #TravellerRPG adventures criminal. Three days left to back the project on Kickstarter.

All JB had to do was show up and join the protesters, maybe take a few pepper-ball hits and a lung-full of tear gas, and he could've written his ticket to the White House. Now, he's staring down a potential PR disaster.
Really enjoyed talking about the latest Kickstarter for Scoundrels of Brixton--and the Hard Vacuum series--with @thedungeonplunger.bsky.social. Jason is a fabulous host and I highly recommend following his podcast. Check out the episode:

And if you're new to the Brixton System, backing the campaign is a fabulous way to catch up on all the action.
