Come find Lost Pages at Dragonmeet, and get some free Ars Goetia trading cards! Also good for prayers, I have yet to smear them with blood and burn them in a fire while I circle around it walking backwards counterclockwise three times, reciting the name of the spirit each time.

The previous treatment for ADHD was tobacco and that gave us cancer.
trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

I have now come to claim that satisfaction, Charlie Brown.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.
What does an eight thousand pound mako shark with a brain the size of a flathead V8 engine and no natural predators think about, Charlie Brown?

I have said it before and I will say it again in the coming week: @lostpages.co.uk and I are doing a talk at Dragonmeet about "making magic marvellous," and it's going to be fun. It's at 1430 on Saturday and if you're going to be there we would like it if you came!

ADHD self-medication with tobacco was very effective but also terrible. I genuinely liked smoking, and methylphenidate pales in comparison to nicotine, but at least is not giving me cancer and cardiovascular disease.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Why yes we are working on more than one book at a time and sometimes we print mock layouts.
Almost done with my new drawing and the proof to the role playing book came in today for me to review. Good day!

The discussion we are having with the printer for Pergamino Barocco are the perfect kind of gnarly. I sort of expected this for a threefold concertina hardcover, and it's the correct amount of challenging.
56 pages + 3 endpapers + 3 cover panels.

The rich are scared. What they are scared of is not merely the loss of their money, but it's the loss of their power. Public welfare makes everyone safe. We need UBI now.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

What people don’t get about OSR vs “story games” with multiple degrees of success.
That’s the thing though, there are no binary results in OSR. The third option still exists but isn’t forced down your throat by a mechanical result. In OSR the success at a cost is decided prior to the roll and may very well cancel the roll.

Other people's bullshit is the absolute worst.
/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

I was a guest on the always brilliant @rookeryp.bsky.social talking about magic and magic systems in RPGs.
Our chat with Paolo was great, going really deep into magic and grounding it in your games. Missed it? Check it out on YouTube. Loved it? Fret not, we'll be getting Paolo back on again, as we have a lot more to discuss!

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.
