This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

EVERYTHING IS POINTCRAWL!

Are hexcrawls just pointcrawls with extra steps? How do we choose the right type of map? Is it just the illusion of choice?

Might be the longest SCM article so far!

This is possibly a long shot, but… does anyone remember an old wooden statue on the south coast of the UK where young women would stick bobby pins into its nose? IIRC, the pin would supposedly fall out in the same year that they’d meet their future husband. My google powers are failing me today…

It was a bargain before, and now it’s free!
right, it's done. I've turned off all paid tiers on our website (bar the $10,000 a month Immortal one) & every feature, review & interview on there is now free to read (at least until I kill the site)

that's over 150 articles covering everything from Warhammer to Wanderhome, Paranoia to Pendragon
