I love the genre mashup. Give me all the Golden Girls/Cthulhus and WWII/Draculas you've got.
But I'm also looking for non-mashups. Sometimes it feels like the industry has an allergy. Westerns without magic. Drama without aliens. Detectives without Cthulhu.

Dare to Play it Straight
The rarest tabletop genre is the simplest one. A call for more anti-mashups.

As promised, I've bundled together everything I've released on itch for @morkborg.com. 7 adventures, 2 pamphlet adventures, 2 soundtracks, and a short story for £50, or 34% off everything (because it makes the £10 adventures £6.60 and that's fun).

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
