I had to come to Montreal to find a hard copy of #Shadowdark in the wild! I’ve got mine coming as part of the Kickstarter fulfillment but it was hard to put back down. Props to La Valet d’Couer for having one, but what’s up with you Montrealers? Get down there and buy that thing!

I love actual play podcasts. Listen to them all the time. My favourites have two things - great audio and the chemistry that only comes from old friends playing together. Maybe you too? Check out our new #DeltaGreen arc on APE. www.actualplayentertainment.com

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Really enjoyed this explanation of how rules light rpgs can provide more fertile ground for growing characters fertilized through player imagination instead of skill trees and googling “best bard build”
Latest Rulings, not Rules - in which I express my surprise that the characters have been *more* memorable since switching to Shadowdark than in a game more focused on character arcs.
Fewer Rules Have Made Better Characters
In which I try to figure out why the characters have been more memorable in a deadlier, rules-light campaign than one where the characters aren't supposed to die.
