Public Access by the Gauntlet is razor sharp, powerfully strange and enormously thought-provoking. My players are still daydreaming about our campaign, even though it finished six months ago. I think your players will too.

Part of my writing process for SPINE was to write exploratory essays and conduct interviews on design ideas that informed the project.
In SPINE, its book is part of the game, and the first essay in this series explores three ways that we play with books in ttrpgs.

Men have a 24hr hormone cycle - testosterone high in AM, low in PM; perfectly aligned with the average workday.
Women have a 28 *DAY* cycle, with hormonal fluctuations based on phase of your cycle.

I am really grateful for the fact that 2LM is providing both English and Italian versions of Outgunned, instead of 2. It annoys a lot to see Free League is publishing Eng and Swedish versions seperately... if language learners like myself just want to read it, we have to pay twice for the same thing

TTRPG Tip 100. Whatever it is you want to do in the TTRPG field, do it! Someone out there will dig it. Start small, and do the thing completely and to the best of your ability. Share it, take feedback, and then do the next thing. Be realistic in your expectations and fearless with your execution.

So I finally did a Deal of the Day at DriveThruRPG, and it's today for Mythic Magazine Compilation #3! It's 60% off, which is the steepest discount I've done for a Compilation but that seems totally fitting for a one day sale.

Why America’s economy is soaring ahead of its rivals
The country’s outperformance is rooted in long-term productivity growth that is the envy of the developed world. Could Trump’s policies endanger its lead?

just got it seconds ago, on DTRPG, after seeing the post. cuz I always find myself having trouble paying for certain games on itch. I played other Wretched&Alone games, enjoyed. Always wanted to play the original game, but I couldn't (until now). The SRD is also on the "I wanna translate it" list...
Literally though if ten people buy The Wretched RIGHT NOW I can get new glasses tomorrow. How good is that? That's like magic.
