Patrick Bringley's "All the Beauty in the World" is at least as much about the author's journey through his grief after the death of his older brother as it is about the Met, or about what it's like to work as a museum guard.

I was reminded of Peter Bearman's study, "Doormen."

Crystal clear review. I’ve concluded this is an interesting game that I will never play

I had a great time reading about dogs across world mythology for this.

I'm reminded of this scene I wrote in Darth Vader, which is born of me pitching "Okay - the reason Droids don't generally beat humans in Star Wars is they don't have blood, as that's where midichlorians are. So, how about syringe-powered vampire robots?" and (rightfully) being told no, kieron, no.
Page from Darth Vader 19, drawn by Salva Larocca. Triple Zero makes a speech to scare the humans attacking teh robots, claiming all the robots are definitely NOT vampires.

I put up a goal on my ko-fi because I want to help my parents pay for my matriculation fees.

My mom lost her full-time job so my dad has taken on most of our expenses.

Any amount will help immensely! If you can't give anything, even sharing this around will help, too.

VOID_SHIFT is out (digitally)! It's a solo deckbuilder that takes like, I don't know, half an hourish to roll through a job. 30 cards to assemble a 15 card deck, 6 job cards that comprise what you're doing.

Sometimes it helps to look at game design through the 'Smooth/Chunky vibes' lens.

Smooth:
🥛 small numbers, small changes
🥛 stat parity
🥛 player-facing rules
🥛 4d6
🥛 predictable consequences

Chunky:
🥜 one dice for everything
🥜 big changes, high variance
🥜 1d100
🥜 you have two stats
🥜 random tables

Barkeep on the Borderlands is in its 2nd printing! It is now perfect bound with a spine and has much more consistent colors in the interior.

To celebrate, the next ~50 orders of Barkeep or the Barkeep Bundle will also come with a random autographed “print proof” page
#osr #rpg
Copies of the new print run on the left, the proof pages of the book (a cutaway map of a pub pictured) below and a few holographic stickers on top
