In this illustration by Hannah Elizabeth, an East Asian man with a rakish expression and an asymmetrical haircut, wearing a white V-neck t-shirt under a black blazer, sits in front of a hard-eyed East Asian woman with shoulder-length straight hair, wearing a black pantsuit over a green blouse, standing with her arms folded. Both wear extensive piercings, jewelry, and other adornments made of green jade. They’re in a dark room in front of a large circular window looking out on a twentieth-century city at night. A banner at the bottom encourages you to “sign up to playtest now!”

Hey all! If you’re a fan of @fondalee.bsky.social ‘s Green Bone Saga and TTRPGs, please check this out. Streets of Jade uses the Paragon system from @evilhat.bsky.social and takes it to a new level, incorporating factions vying for control of Jade and the awesome power it brings into the mix.

As a huge fan of the Green Bone Saga, I've experienced the setting, magic, and clan dynamics brought to life in SoJ playtests. This RPG is as vicious and cutting as it is sentimental and poignant. We've laughed, cried, sworn vengeance, and fiercely protected the interests of our families and clans.

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.
