Before today, #Spectaculars was my favourite RPG Having played 3 face to face issues with creative "Yes, And" players and GM, it's now my favouritest most maximo favouritey game EVAR

Running Spectaculars at #Longcon with Kaiju, Professor Plutonium and his Heavy Metal Men, and the Warborne. Huge fun with @thedicemechanic.bsky.social, @burnafterrunning.bsky.social, @whirlmeister.bsky.social and @tiestvilee.bsky.social

Having a spectacular time playing #Spectaculars at #Longcon - a good test of a supers system is "can you play the Silver Surfer?"

I know my reach is small, but a Kickstarter for a great game needs some support. This game is a blast for one-shots and makes the perfect game for a relaxed night of hilarious storytelling. I've run it before on a camping trip and it was solid. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Absolutely crushing. Rob was one of my freelancers when I ran the Star Wars line at WotC, and has remained a colleague over the years. He was always eager to help, and the world is a worse place for having lost him.

Check out the awesome art for the #neoncityoutlaws setting book cover by Eilene Huang! So exciting to have art rolling in for the books.

Prepped to run my last Neon City Outlaws game of Gen Con!

Ran Neon City Outlaws at Gen Con today, first play of The Convention Job (which will be one of the free scenarios coming to Kickstarter backers once it's been playtested and polished). Went really well, and the players were great. Already found some things to tweak before Saturday's session!
