“Jason, why do you insist on packing so much content into these adventures?” Because I hate high owl quotient adventures! That’s the whole reason I buy an adventure, so that I can buy a picture of an owl and just run with it. If I wanted to do all the work I’d just do it myself!

I would like to propose a new RPG term of art: 'owl quotient', to describe how much any given game expects you to draw the rest of the owl.

Happy Free RPG Day! Our own adventure, "The Dance of Death," is one of the 261 products you’ll find in this bundle, with rules for medieval medicine and public opinion, over 50 NPCs, and a complex story about a city ravaged by plague and the steep price of healing.

“But what’s ‘revolutionary’ about that?” Because when you look past the generalizations and abstractions, you see how complex and nuanced the world is. You see the personhood in everyone. You see that diversity is truly the definition of strength and homogeneity is always a delusion.

The core idea running through everything we do is the idea that it’s the details that make a tabletop roleplaying games fun. It’s the details that you can actually play with, much more than generalizations or abstractions.

Public opinion will shape the fate of Rekken for better or worse. Will hate-mongers or corrupt fools sway the public to the ruin of all, or will you be able to convince the people that the only livable future lies in solidarity and mutual aid? In "Dance of Death," you'll have to play to find out.

“I can point out that it's dehumanizing or illogical, and it doesn’t matter because it was never referencing anything real in the first place. It’s just a thing you can say to feel superior because it’s the thing that people say to feel superior.” www.patreon.com/posts/158542...

“This place was always stinky, of sea and salt and fish, but then also of too many humans crowded too closely together, and their dirt and cookfire smoke, and then of alchemical factories and their smoke and their wrong smells, and now it stinks of death as well.” www.patreon.com/posts/158008...
