Hey, babe. How'd your session of Impossible Landscapes go?
It went... sideways

Had a hard time finding a copy of Scum & Villainy? A fresh batch of books just landed in our warehouse.
The engine behind Blades in the Dark fuels this fun, legally distinct space opera ttrpg.

The world is full of odd beasts and mysterious denizens. Monsters are stranger and more common than people imagine. Often these cryptids lurk at the edges of civilization, other times they walk among us.

Fun little surprise today. Appears Jack purchased some ad-space in Interface Issue 5 (he never tells me anything). I hope he gets some customers from it.
Thank you to @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social Smiles are in short supply this week and you brought one to my face.

There are two types of people in the world
-People who get teary-eyed watching Johnny Cash's video for Hurt, no matter how many times they've seen it before,
-And unfeeling monsters you should best avoid.

GM Tip: Different players want different things. Some want tactical combat, others want to roleplay drama, still others want exploration and discovery. Figure out what drives your players and then mix it in regularly, so that everyone gets their moment to engage.

Two of the more toxic TTRPG fans are
1- The Grognard who belittles any edition, mechanic, or playstyle developed after they finished high school
2- The Newer is Best hipster who insists anything but the latest micro-genre indie game is outdated shit for dinosaurs
They're 2 sides of the same asshole

GM Tip: Players will inevitably use knowledge their characters don't have. When it happens, just ask, "How does your character know that?" Usually they'll self-correct or come up with a reasonable explanation. So be collaborative about it, not adversarial.

Over 2025, Dead Channels produced 44+hours of actual plays and panel audio, plus 200 pages of new DG writing.
Not counting conversion/editing work I did on Tyne's "The New Age," Glancy's "Holy War," and other upcoming republications.
And not counting everything I've done on Red Markets 2E.
