I made a layout template for this that I hope might be useful for folks even beyond Triangle Agency!! If you want to discover the joy of paragraph styles, check it out (files are InDesign but you can import the .idml into Affinity)

In celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design.
BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.
Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

I am reviewing old games I didn't finish.
This is a supplement for CY_BORG where you chase a psychic girl through the sprawl against cultists and corpos.
I wanted to try writing a 'Main Character' NPC. The Girl makes you question the game rules. Is she manipulating you into helping her?

If you're a fan of Trophy Dark/Trophy Gold, just a quick heads up that a bunch of Trophy writers are compiling new incursions for a Kickstarter for next year.
I'll no doubt talk about it more as the date approaches, but if you wanna set a reminder for yourself:

I read @monsterpotion.bsky.social's new version of Fight Truck, and cried about it. Then I wrote this. It's personal and vulnerable and bold and I'm very proud. I'd love to hear from anyone if this speaks to you, and I want to hear why other people seek out risky play .
"What do we risk when we play?"
