Rounding out my Summer Reading posts on Quinns Quest with an absolutely electric final brace of releases. I've been reading Infinite Revolution, City of Espers, Asher's Ridge and Girlframe. They are all SO GOOD. www.patreon.com/qquest/posts...
This is a ridiculous deal. Troika supplements are lots of fun to read. They're reliably unhinged.

It's been so weird seeing the discourse around Dawnwalker that players don't have time to do everything. That's so baked into every ttrpg I run that I don't even think about it

Adolescence is amazing because it really makes it a game about *change*. Tons of games have casts of characters that you fall in love with. Exocolonist makes you fall in and out of love, then back in again
Cat Bussell@catbussell.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis game is fantastic! My editor at TechRadar used to let me rave about it, bless him. Adolescence is a wonderful fulcrum around which to orient choice-driven games. Please give it a look :D

Last year I was chatting about how much I like Dispel dice. People I trust told me if I contacted Dispel they'd totally send me, Quinns, some nice dice I emailed Dispel. They never responded. Now every time they appear on my timeline I feel like a slime. The moral of this story is never send emails

NEW VIDEO: What's behind the rise of teens spying for Russia? Last year, Ukraine warned teens against becoming unwitting spies for Russia's FSB. Shockingly, some say they were recruited via a fake “quest” game, which one official said was “like a game of Pokémon Go, but with air defence systems.”

Martin Amis describes British skies as "the colour of nothing at all, of dishwashing waster"
