Saying goodbye to PAX Unplugged today! Lots I wished I had more time to play. Really loved some of the mini war gaming / terrain set ups.

Gotta acknowledge that my new game is 100% built on the shoulder of giants!
It / I was hugely inspired by games like Blades in the Dark and Lasers & Feelings by @johnharper.bsky.social as well as Honey Heist by @gshowitt.bsky.social
Tried to turn those influences into something fun & original!

I got to act as the technical editor on Kensuke Okabayashi's upcoming WRITING GRAPHIC NOVELS for DUMMIES, giving Ken and his primary editor, Rick Kughen, notes on the draft text. I think it's a fun informal guide to writing & drawing graphic novels and it's now up for preorder: a.co/d/iPDyF4o
Enjoy!

Winter time means breaking out your boots, so here are some boots you can also use to break into your enemies!
This week's Wild Market seems like it's for the monks, but anyone who enjoys kicking folks (or objects) should consider investing. Protect your stompers!

Here's another TTRPG design post you'll want to read.
When you are designing your own rules, you should do so in a way that is simple, clear and concise. The more "if this than that", the more load you add to the players/designers.
