Those of you who stopped by our booth at Gen Con might've caught a glimpse of the manufacturer prototype copy (MPC) of Dog Eat Dog last week -- and now we have the Princess with a Cursed Sword MPC as well! Check out our Discord server for more pictures of both! discord.gg/CyhV7kk6wG

Hey! Did you guys know that I'm (slowly) reformatting and re-lettering the first volume of Gateway City so that it matches with the subsequent volumes. True story. More info on a recent Kickstarter update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/rus...

One thing I'm trying with Gila this year is doing print publishing for other designers who work with my games or systems. WYRD, by @sasquatchgames.bsky.social has been a huge success! We've sold over 200 copies on my store, retailers, and conventions. gilarpgs.com/products/wyrd

WYRD

A solo roguelike fantasy TTRPG inspired by Elden Ring, Mordheim, Slay the Spire, Dragon Age: Origins, old-school D&D, and Warcry.

If you've been eyeing this comprehensive set of D&D histories and want your copy shipped out with the Backerkit wave, you should pre-order 🔸 this week. 🔸 Otherwise you will likely have to wait for the retail release in October.

Our printer is kitting up all four volumes of Designers & Dragons Origins into their slipcases! Still time to get this massive trove of D&D history by @shannonappelcline.bsky.social and have it ship out with the crowdfunding fulfillment: designers-dragons-origins.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Legacy - Life Among the Ruins : the scale. I discovered PbtA with an amazing Urban Shadows campaign. Its small scale and focus helped create an amazing story and I couldn't imagine large scale PbtA. Legacy proved me wrong! It's the weird child of a standard PbtA and Microscope, and I'm here for it!

PSA, for real: if you have a back-up camera in your car, you still need to check your mirrors and pay attention, so you don’t back into parked cars. If the other driver had remembered this, my day would have been way less stressful! (I’m ok, car is drivable & can be fixed, but hassles+heat=bad.)

This is still happening! The Wrong Dead Guy is just $1.99. It's like if Carl Hiaasen wrote a sort of fantasy/SF weird heist thing...There might even be a monster. I'm not sure. It's hard to remember. But it's just $1.99. You read it and tell me.

Today's ambient writing music suggestion: Cities In Fog by Jeff Greinke. You can buy it on Bandcamp or listen on most of the major streaming platforms. It's a gorgeous, haunting album that you'll go back to often.

After a slight delay, Chris Carter's brand new Director's Cut of THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE, representing the scarier version of the 2008 movie he had originally wanted to make, is releasing in August: bloody-disgusting.com/movie/395982...

If I can give concept artists one bit of advice, because I am seeing a LOT of this mistake today... please imagine your design in motion. Not as a static drawing. Not as a cool painting. Not as a strongly composed posed shot. Imagine the thing you are designing actually doing the thing it does.

Today is the 449th Anniversary of Black Shuck crashing into the service at St. Mary's Bungay, killing some people and then leaving to scratch the door of Holy Trinity Church Blythburgh.

Okay, so now you REALLY don't have an excuse to watch you some Babylon 5, a favorite of mine. I never understood the constant glazing of JMS himself, but I do appreciate what he accomplished. www.youtube.com/@Babylon5

The best (and free!) way to begin with GURPS is GURPS Lite: www.sjgames.com/gurps/lite/

Paolo of Lost Pages 🔜 Sequential Scotland@lostpages.co.uk · 2d ago

GURPS is a terrific system that can be as lite as you want it to be. There are four different bundles on @bundleofholding.com, and the Fantasy Bundle has GURPS Thaumatology, possibly the best magic RPG handbook out there. bundleofholding.com/presents/G4E...

Leafing through the Invincible TTRPG from Free League. If you’re wondering, like I always do, how much this new superhero TTRPG lives in the shadow of the 1980s era TSR Marvel game, the answer this time is: VERY. FASRIP stat-cronym. Karma. Zones. Words+numbers for your stat ratings. Yyyep!

This week, I’m going to offer a fairly basic overview of the concept of strategic airpower, akin to our discussions of protracted war and nuclear deterrence. While the immediate impetus for t…
