#OVER/UNDER was the most intense and most often I've experienced bleed. Honestly, I can't really think of many times outside of a high stakes battle that I'd felt my body and mind reacting to a game like I did *often* during O/U. For me, that was almost always a really exciting and new experience!
"Players reported dreaming about Over/Under, losing sleep, even forgetting to eat."
@lincodega.com writes about the intensity of Mothership Month's hyperbaric roleplay experience and the bleed that resulted from a lack of conventional safety tools.

Thirty Days of Bleed
Within a high-pressure, nonstop roleplaying game, denizens of Over/Under found it difficult to extricate their character’s emotions from their own.

It takes a lot to get me to click on any OSR-related blog post these days, but this one truly delivers the goods.
I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all.

New Book Day! Starting my first real re-read of Narnia since being obsessed with them as a child. I find great children's books hold up as an adult, sometimes in whole new ways then they did before. Hopefully, that's the case here. Lovely art throughout this edition too.

One of my issues with these months is there are too many projects. Only a small % of folks can reasonably afford to back all of the projects, and I find that it invariably makes me rank the projects on offer against one another - when I may well be interested in them all if they were spread out.
Themed crowdfunding months provide creative ways to bring together associated tabletop creators and raise consistent money.
But as the trend spreads, the calendar is beginning to feel mighty crowded.

Playing a necromancer/ghost wizard character in a Middle Earth campaign that's spinning up in a few weeks, and I'm really excited. I think finding ways to fit magic/spellcasters types into Middle Earth where they feel appropriate (and not exactly like Gandalf) is always really interesting.

I'm once again at the reprinting crossroads for a few things: Firedrop, Bloodfields, Ultimate Badass, PIRAD ONE. Gotta decide if I want to simply reprint or if I want to make any changes, expansions, etc. (and gauge how much time and energy I have to really make those things happen). Hm....

So on the one post #OVER/UNDER discord I'm in, we've already had two 6+ player TTRPG sessions of 2 different systems with 2 more on the docket for next week (1 of which is another system). Plus, we've had a PBP/LTRP server spinoff from it as well. I'm already thinking about what I want to play next!

This was fun! It's fun to play games and run games and play with new folks and see people interact with new systems! What I'm saying is: Games are Good.
Ran @norgad.bsky.social's DEAD WEIGHT for a 6-player @mothership.bsky.social crew (from the Marlowe's Rest gang). A great cascading crisis module with an extremely weird twist. One of those modules I have no idea how it will play out until it does (which means I'm having lots of fun as the GM).
