Ghost in the Shell: Arise final week. Newport City 2027. We're near a Newport too, just less neon, less cyberpunk, more arse-end of nowhere. Both forged in the Dark. Ends Nov 27th on Kickstarter. l.d20.ninja/3kt5cc7j #GitS #TTRPG #scifi #cyberpunk #newport #hackers

Remember, authors and publishers love to see photos of their games at conventions, stores, or spread out carefully next to your other purchases on any convenient flat surface. #KnollingIsCaring

"Gothica", "Pork Mort", "Tiamat Trackers", but the headline Kickstarter goes to Mana Project Studios' "Ghost in the Shell TTRPG"

Probably Merle Rasmussen.
Steve Jackson is also likely.

Conversation with @deadlyfredly.bsky.social has me trying to remember the first time I consciously remembered the name of an RPG designer who wasn’t Gygax. Embarrassingly, I am pretty sure it wasn’t until college, after I’d been playing for years and had been exposed to many games.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora
A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees. Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.

On some level, every RPG design is an argument for how things could be better. Few things motivate design like seeing another game and being inspired by what it could be, but is not.

So you make this beautiful argument with your soul, and the overwhelming response is *always* to keep playing D&D
