Played Delta Green tonight. I managed to drop 7 SAN without going insane! Two of us accepted help from some supernatural dude. We blew up a powerful sorcerer to the shock of supernatural dude who changed into a nasty entity in the car I'm driving. Session ended there. Oops!

Listening to The Memory Palace podcast reading the first Nancy Drew book (which is in the public domain this year). I have ideas: Nancy Drew vs cosmic horror in "Nancy Drew and the Blasted Heath", and the wartime adventures of Nancy Drew: "Nancy Drew in Casablanca".

Yesterday was Suzy's gotcha day. We've had her 6 years. But I was too busy to post about it. Part of it was playing with Suzy, but it was mostly me puttering about. Here's image tax as payment. As you can see, Suzy is suitably chastising me.

My most recent print project is complete: a three-storey building from the Outpost Origins line, by Dragon Rest. It came from a building kit, but I had to design the building myself. I built it with an optional lower roof so that I could use the first level as a warehouse or something.

I got a reminder that I live in an area that's more rural than urban: we came across a partially devoured coyote carcass while walking the dogs.

Played Delta Green tonight. The most disturbing part wasn't the cultists, or the body-jumping suicidal madman. It was when one of the agents had to explain to his wife and kids why he forgot to call them on Christmas Day. My character hid out in the bathroom during the conversation...

"I'll just throw together a quick set of rules for running Reign 2e as a space opera." I said. "I know the system, I just have to add a couple of skills and rename some esoteric paths," I said. 6000 words later, "Okay, next up, starship rules!"

I ordered this book last month but I just now downloaded the PDF. Carved in Stone is a gorgeous, amazing book on the history and culture of the Picts, with (only) one of its purposes to serve as an RPG sourcebook. I can't wait for the physical book!

Microsoft posted a blatantly photoshopped image of "Kyoto" on Windows Spotlight (you might have seen it on your login screen). The pagoda is at Kiyomizu-drra in Kyoto, the mountain is Mont Fuji, more than 350km from Kyoto! The altered picture is on Shutterstock. You won't see this view in Kyoto!

Last night's Godlike 2e playtest. Stalingrad, Sept 1942: German school teacher manifested as the mythical dragon Fafnir. Soldier Balabonov seized a sword from the treasure pile & went all Sigurd on Fafnir's belly. Random hit location followed the legend: dragon slain, State Bank cleared of fascists!

TTRPG folks: can you recommend a cinematic science fiction game, with fast-paced combat, suitable for a set of one-shots?
So far I've been recommended Black Star, Outgunned with the Action Flicks #1 book, D6 Space, Ashen Stars, Stellar Adventures, Orbital Blues, and Crescendo of Violence.
