Once again, Dan absolutely killed it with every piece he's done for Decree, and I'm chomping at the bit to get them in the book.

I remade Ruin Masters' hexmap of Caldarox using ripped images from the rulebook PDF. No reference for scale so this is my best guess at 6-mile hexes. Gonna play a solo game and see what fun stuff falls out of the (many) random tables the game provides.

Nordic-inspired RPGs are like "You are a BADASS VIKING WARRIOR selected by ODIN HIMSELF"

OTOH actual Scandi RPGs are like "In this fantasy world, you are a normal guy. Life is shit, it's always fucking raining and there's a 60% chance of being clubbed to death by a troll. Ducks don't wear pants."

%PCRank Séamus, I believe it is your fate to recover the long-lost artifact Skull-Crusher. When you have this legendary weapon in hand, bring it to me so I may bless it.

In the Light of a Setting Sun is a rules-lite game of bigger-than-life cowpokes on an unforgiving frontier. It it, you can play as cowherds on a long cattle drive, gunslingers solving problems in dusty border towns, or no-good outlaws on the run from a bloodthirsty sheriff. (1/?)

Evil, you say? Self-righteous fool! Spare me your sanctimonious lecturing! There is no good in the world, save that which we give ourselves. But enough talk. I will show you the true meaning of power!

Me and @chrisair.itch.io are talking about the Traveller in the sci-fi special issue of The International Player's Review. Chris and I babbled a lot, it was a nightmare to transcribe!

Re current UKPOL, it should be noted that 'voluntary' work that is coerced via threat is just a polite term for slave labour.

Argonaut are fantastic, their entire collection is really thoughtfully curated. We don't need another fucking Waterstones in Edinburgh.

Waterstones are set to open a store less than 100m from the indie bookshop's front door.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

(This is a slightly cleaned up version of my two Bluesky threads on Jennell Jaquays, preserved in a hopefully easier to read format. Thank Amanda P for reminding me that having these things stored …

Are you a minister? Are you unhappy? Do you hate your job or have no idea what you're doing? Would you like the entire UK progressive media to praise you for the next 72 hours and talk about you as a future leadership contender? RESIGN!
