Here at the start of the season I mostly hold it together as the GM. Later, you can practically hear the steam coming out of my ears. Podcast links are in the video description!

Hosted @alwayscheckers.bsky.social's A Complicated Profession twice this weekend, 3 years after the last time I got to play it. I'm pleased to say that it's still as good as it was then, and that everyone introduced to this fantastic game had an amazing time!

I wish we could have played for longer than a single contract each time, there were some other events I was hoping to try 😄
Everyone loved your table for kitchen complications during Space Hams, the salt becoming alive was a wild moment.

I also want to congratulate @main-sequence-star.bsky.social for their expansion for A Complicated Profession, A Dirty Situation. It adds some very good Roles (my players were drawn towards the Safety Officer and the Community Manager), and additional variety of fun Main Events.

These games saw two wildly different Outdated Droid Chefs, lots of knife shenanigans, a perfect moment of awkward flirting, issues with salt suddenly coming to life in the kitchen, impromptu giant squid therapy, among many many other incredible incidents. 😂

SPINE has been released on itch! You can download your PDF or a printable booklet today to start playing!

I'm keeping it FREE through the end of October.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.

In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.
