I am curious. Has anyone done the math on Blades in the Dark on how many segments make up a good score? Is there a ratio between score and threat clocks or a total number? Has anyone worked that math?

@j-k.games is back with another supplement for Mutants in the Now. As someone who played TMNT until the end of the 1980s, I believe this game is the true spiritual successor. The rules are revamped and clean, the game is fun to play, and the combat is fantastic www.kickstarter.com/projects/arb...

Gene Hackman has been in so many good movies, but the one that always comes to mind for me is The Quick and the Dead. I love this movie, and he was a great villain.

Has anyone used Hearts of Wulin to run a Cobra Kai game? Because I think it may be possible, but I also can't be the first person to think of this.
I have two Cortex Prime conversions I want to make from 90s RPGs: Underground and The Whispering Vault. I think both would be a lot of fun in Cortex Prime.
Its a shame that Cortex Prime does not have a license option, because I have some really fun stuff that I have made, that I would love to share with the world. C
Neon City Blues is a cool KS project that just launched. It's a street level cyberpunk game, Carved from Brindlewood. I've always thought a cyberpunk game that uses the CfB mystery system is a great idea, and so I'm excited to see this in the world! www.kickstarter.com/projects/508...

Be discerning where you place your happiness. Sports teams, social media, an audience, and careless people can all do great damage, intentionally or not. Instead place your happiness in the hands of people who care about your well being and will nurture and protect it.

Learn the difference between charismatic and leadership. They are not the same. A charismatic person will not lead you out of trouble or through tough times.

Somehow Eclipse Phase 2nd edition flew under my radar. I read the web page covering all the changes and was excited. I like the mechanical changes and always dug the setting. I went and picked up a copy, and I can't wait to read it.

My first two games were Basic D&D and the original Top Secret. I have fond memories of playing them as they got me into the hobby. I don’t play either now but I would try Basic D&D again. I like Top Secret SI over the original.
