We like the serious look because we mean serious business

And also your immortal god ship keeps fucking with you because it’s programmed to be Chang’e and you promised to take her on a shopping trip (and you didn’t) so she’s gonna take matters into her own hands by flying straight into an LV store

I always wanted to design a custom card deck, so this was a lot of fun. (Also, the quality of the POD cards is surprisingly good!)
Blades in the Dark: Cutters Deck is available now from @johnharper.bsky.social

Get it here: tinyurl.com/3fub6ynv

Indulge your vice or put your soul on the line and cut the deck against the Dimmer Sisters. #ttrpg

Evil Hat now has the poll up for the $200k Designers & Dragons Origins stretch goal.

Don't be too quick to guess because it's currently a very tight three-way tie!!
Designers & Dragons: Origins passed its next stretch goal over the weekend, which means that we have another poll up for content to add to the backer's-only preview. This one is boxed sets.

Pretty sure I know the winner here, but there's some fine options.

Thanks all for the interest in roleplaying history!

(The first character I ever made was an elf, written out on the green character sheets for Basic D&D.)
