Silaer: a setting-agnostic, no-prep ruleset inspired by Realis - The Psychic Maelstrom

Here Comes the Flood by Rob Gonsalves

Life lately

I'm slowly reading the odyssey and I can see why it has become a central myth of the privately educated, concerned as it is with kings and inheritance and hosting, ownership of land and property and people, I imagine stories told around the hearths of peasants perhaps had a different eye

100% inspired by @ema-acosta.com Turbofighter heist prompt, I named our the session from our last Spell & Blade game: Reasons to steal a Skyship Read the post. I don't think you can fault our logic. seannittner.com/reasons-you-...

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

We shouldn't be too down on a game like Dungeons & Kittens winning an Ennie even though it lacks imagination or innovation. We should be down on it because the game re-introduce the civilized-savage dichotomy into a setting about talking adventure cats on the first page of its introduction.

Today I am obsessesing over the covers of E. R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros" and later Zimiamvian Trilogy illustrated by native midwesterner Barbara Remington. Just an absolutely phenomenal house style for Ballantine Books.
