Is finding Exploding Kittens in CVS a sign it has jumped from hobby game to mainstream ala Uno, or a sign that it has run its course and entered the budget game arena?

Got to admit, I’m a bit sad this is the entirety of the TTRPG section in the original Newbury Comics. It’s like being rejected by my own childhood. :p
@forbeck.com glad to see your work there!

I see the “Sex and the City but one of the women is Ms. Piggy and why is never addressed” post every so often.
Folks, this has been done. It was called Madame’s Place and came out on television in 1982. It ran for over 70 episodes.

Honest truth, it would be nice if people analyzed TTRPGs for referenced and content the way they did for video games. Artists and writers hide (and sometimes put it out in the open) so much!
For example, there are so easter eggs and not-so-hidden bits in this piece.

Some good things are coming in Single Player Mode. Most courtesy of @hollowpondssagas.bsky.social. A few things courtesy of myself. This isn’t just for solo play, folks. This is a GM’s helper as well!!!

Played this with friends at Gen Con. A cooperative tower building game. No turns. The trick is you each have conditions you need to fulfill and you can’t in any way directly communicate what those conditions are to your fellow builder.
Frustrating at times but fun.

I remain an awkward public speaker. Luckily, I was standing next to one of the coolest guys around.
The @ennies.bsky.social hall of fame nod belongs to everyone who worked on Cyberpunk from day one. A crew of hundreds!
Thanks for sharing your skill & passion. I am so glad to be a tiny part of it.

As I explained to @lorebynightvtm.bsky.social my love for Persona is deep. I use the P4G Vita case as a dice bag and I own all the major arcana cards.
The case came with a special edition Vita. The cards came in two sets. I had to pick up two different games to collect them all.

“The gay community unified after the assassination of comedian Kate Clinton and Senator Gerald Matthews while they were at the 2002 Gay Pride Parade in Washington DC.”
From Rockerboy, published in 1989. As far as I’m aware this is the first mention of Pride in a TTRPG book.

James Hutt did a solid job developing a unique, gatcha-based magic system with strong MMO styling. The latest Elflines Online DLC for Cyberpunk RED is absolutely delightful. I’m proud to have worked on it.
