I saw this logo on one of the information posters at the Montreal Biodome.

This beluga, who appears to be creating DNA, really reminded me of my time working on Blue Planet: Recontact. @paweldaruk.bsky.social, @biohazardjeff.bsky.social

For those interested in Blue Planet: Recontact, I recently appeared on ENworld's Not DnD interview series. Nothing new, save the imminent arrival of the books, but a good primer on the game's history and intent for anyone new to Poseidon.

Getting it Right (Whale): A Reef-erence to a Whale of a Style Sheet

Back in June, when I was a guest on Nadia Geagea Pupa’s podcast, The Editor’s Half Hour, a woman in the comments (I’m afraid I don’t know her name, and I’ve been unable to find said comment) asked if ...

I figured indie RPG designers who write about strange skies full of airships and pirates should sail together…

The thing I love most about GenCon is that for four whole days I get to unabashedly be my whole self while surrounded by so many instant friends. There’s nothing else like it.

BiohazardJeff @biohazardjeff.bsky.social · Aug 2

So. Many. Gamers…

BiohazardJeff @biohazardjeff.bsky.social · Jul 31

We had a pledge manager open prior to the printing, but it’s closed now. Once the books arrive you should be able to order through Gallant Knight Games.

You’re right - it’s a great project idea.

The core practice is presenting linked decision points with meaningful consequences.

Wife and I spend every summer (teachers) living on our Westsail in the San Juan and Gulf Islands. In fact, at anchor as I post.

Will likely retire to the boat, at least for a couple years.

BiohazardJeff @biohazardjeff.bsky.social · Jul 27

Depends on the kind of boat you want, and where it will sit in your use/time/financial priorities. Anything you can live aboard will cost 5-10% of its value per year to maintain. Unless it’s a unique boat in good shape it will depreciate. Ultimately about what it’s worth to you/what can you afford.
