The full version of COMMONWEALTH is out now! I played through a few seasons using the playtest rules and had a great time, so I highly recommend checking it out if you're even a little bit interested in challenging your friends to duels.

playing COMMONWEALTH via Discord was some of the most fun I had with anything last year, and the way that so many small moments & rolls carry you forward and create the bigger arc of just being a little shit Barry Lyndon-ing your way through Book of the New Sun is something really special

Commonwealth is one of the finest and most unique games I've played. It is pushing at the boundaries of ttrpg design, it was a treat to work on. Please check it out!

Commonwealth is SO GOOD. You will not regret playing this game. Also I think it's the best play by post game I've ever tried. It works really really well for discord server, with lots of potential for interesting drama while also being easy to run at a pace that doesn't demand too much of players

I was lucky enough to get to playtest this and can confirm it is an extremely fun game. It works so well in play by post format in a Discord, and I highly recommend giving it a shot and making your own horrible horrible nobility.

It has been an incredible experience working with @meredithgran.com on Perfect Tides: Station to Station.
So much thought and care went into the words, story, art, music, and systems (yes, systems), and it is amazing to see it already resonating so much with players who value those things.

I am a simple person who thinks that telling the truth about things is important. I watched the video footage of this shooting, and the killing is casual and unhurried. DHS and aligned political actors are very ready to present a story of rushed, panicked violence, and it just is not true.
NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.
