An Infinity of Ships by @adamstation.bsky.social is one of the most fun & clever books of tables i've ever read, and seeing Adam is putting together another book of system-agnostic resources is SO exciting, you very much don't want to miss this if you like strange & wonderful NPCs + inspo tables!!

before i fill out a whole StartPlaying profile or similar—if i were to offer paid/pro-GMing (for, say, Mothership especially, maybe PLANET FIST, maybe Shadowrun 5e) would anyone out there be interested? alternatively, would you be interested if there were other systems on offer?

you can hear that game below if you want to check it out!

IHtHG doesn't *have* to be that kind of intense—i've seen a game that was elementary schoolers bickering in the hallway before trying out for the solo part in a school play—but it can be, and i have SUCH fondness for ruben & i's game

if you've ever heard me pitch I Have the High Ground in person, you've heard me recount the finale of this session on @theneoncaster.bsky.social's stream, in which i won & my victory was getting shot thru the heart & dying instantly b/c ruben's character cried over my body so i had the moral victory
I played this with Jess when it first released and it facilitated the most emotionally intense session of roleplay I've ever felt. it was heartbreaking and great. Highly recommendddd
