Listen, I have pretty high standards but damn, does CBT+PNK exceed them. This is one of the best physical products in the TTRPG world, like... Ever. Great, concise rules, and amazing vibe, sure, but again - the product. Art, layouts, package design, all the small details. Just absolutely stunning.
If you have something cool to say about CBR+PNK, *please* do it as a review on this page.
That would help a lot fighting against a couple of misguided "reviews" the game has received.

If you want to buy something from Pit Trap Shop, tomorrow is not the day. The store will be closed in protest of Black Friday consumerism hysteria. Buy nothing. Play games or draw a skeleton instead.

November was a struggle. I usually avoid confrontations and prefer to just escape from difficult situations. But this month I had important battles to fight. And I didn't run away. I stood up for myself. And it was worth it. So yeah. Do that. Fight for yourself. Nobody else is gonna do it.

If anyone's looking for a guest writer for their upcoming TTRPG I can offer a punchy, flavourful style, somewhat recognisable name (in some circles) and experience as a guest/additional writer on projects like Hellboy RPG, Obscure, Pirate Borg (Cabin Fever), Chainsaw, MÖRK ORG, Smork Borg, and more.

What are the things that keeps you sane amidst the current tides of fucking absurdity?
For me it's my wife and daughter - their presence, their love, their support.
Basketball for sure.
Video games as well.

I have one of the absolutely worst time of my life lately, but I really try to find joy in small things. And I think this spread is somewhat joyful, cause when I started working on it, I had no idea what to do and I was frustrated, but the (almost) finished one looks decent enough for me to move on.

Imagine if the whole Internet went down for 24h. That would be pretty fucking amazing (not counting failure of the base infrastructure that could endanger people's life [if that's even a thing with the Internet]).

You thought books were exempt from tariffs? Sure, they are. But there is an additional (!!) 15% tariff for the EU on top of that regardless of the content. So now I owe US customs thousands of dollars. And I already paid ridiculously expensive shipping. I've never been closer to quitting...

I had a dream about a solo zombie board game and when I woke up I realised the mechanics and the overall idea is actually pretty cracked and NOT at all "dream logic weird". It was like a full, working game. WTF brain?

I would love to get back to painting minis. I was never good at it, but it was really relaxing, I was getting better with each mini and most of all - I got something done. With just my hands. That was cool. Unfortunately I couldn't find time (nor the joy at some point) and I sold all my supplies.

So I've been told that CORP BORG has made its way into Northwestern University and UCLA (as an additional literature for certain subjects as far as I understand). That's pretty cool!
