More thoughts on the "Space Western" #Daggerheart project I am working on. Today zero-G environments. In media zero G has been expressed in a lot of different ways, which makes it a particularly interesting narrative opportunity in a #TTRPG 1/6

Just how out of control has #ICE become in #Minneapolis? They are unlawfully stopping citizens minding and demanding the people stopped to "show their papers". The one common thread each of the people stopped had was that the people stopped were all people of color.

More thoughts on my #daggerheart project. Reskinning vs Restructuring.
The book talks about re-skinning the classes and domains to fit into your own campaign; and that works, as long as your campaign is fantasy heavy. But as I started re-skinning for my Space Western, things broke down

more thinking on my #daggerheart project. Making space encounters interesting.
One of the common tropes of Space Westerns is the space battle but in RPGs they become boring table top strategy games that do not engage everybody at the table.
My solution is to treat them like environments

Over my holiday break I ended up doing a lot of writing on my #daggerheart #ttrpg project. I am going to post some thoughts here.
After some going back and forth I decided to lean further into the themes of the "Space Western" genre. Not with gun slingers, horses, etc. but the structure.

The Internet Algorithm spit this at me tonight, which led me down a rabbit hole of 80's soft pop melodies singing death metal lyrics, and videos that appear to have been shot by Tim & Eric's cinematographer.
I'm not even mad, that was all high praise.

Regarding what I am seeing about #HasanPiker. A person that you agree with can also be a piece of shit.
His comments of "it's just a dog" have been a tone deaf red flag.
There are other and better voices out there, seek them out and you may learn something new.

After being emphatically encouraged to do so, I have returned to my RPG project. I have decided to use the #daggerheart system because it is a more story focused system instead of crunchy interlocking numbers.
My goal is to have it ready for a couple 1st level sessions at #momocon next year.

Last night Russia did something that can only be read as a prelude to war.
During their war with Ukraine there have been multiple isolated incidents where a Russian cruise missile, a drone, or a fighter has accidentally drifted over into Polish or Romanian air space.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Just to be clear, ICE is breaking the law right now. Not regarding them grabbing people off of the street... Congress fucked up and left enough wiggle room in immigration law for the Trump administration to do this.
