A Hunt Through the Bittercold is just Inscryption percolating in my brain until a game spontaneously appeared on my Affinity.

If video games frequently disavow their TTRPG heritage, we can at least proudly own the fact that TTRPG work is deeply inspired by video games. Most of us have an origin story or two.

SLAYER CAKE is inspired by Brütal Legend.
"Something to Drink With That, Sir?" inspired by dys4ia.

What's yours?

Finally got around to starting Knuckle Sandwich, a game I was incredibly hyped for and then completely forgot about.

More games need a GOBLIN METER.

Despite Everything, I can't help but adore Mage: the Awakening, a pointlessly complex part of a pointlessly complex setting with ridiculously arcane (hah) rules to it. It's got all the problems of a standard White Wolf production but bless its cotton socks I can't help but be fond of it.

OKAY LISTEN
We have like five hours left until I stop bugging you about it.

That also means you guys have five hours left to decide the budget of this game.

All I'm saying is I have plans. If I have the £, I'm gonna spend the £.

You know what to do.
