Said this before, saying it again:
There are people trying. There are people marching. There are people putting their bodies in the way. There are people being disappeared.
The people of the US aren’t being silent. They are being silenced.

So, it was officially announced! Gutterpunk the TTRPG is getting a French Translation! This TTRPG combines my love of music biz lingo, the punk scene, and gaming!
Based in part on nearly 20 years in the scene as a musician. Much love to Skaldirion Editions!

So, looks like we're going to have a Community Play Day near the end of December for Rook and Rasp's Discord Server.
We're a LGBTQIA inclusive community with a love for ALL games (indie, small press, and big publishers). I'll be putting more details out there.

I can't believe Rob Weiland is gone.
You might not have known him BUT: read a Forbes rpg article, enjoy Star Trek Adventures, love the Fate games scene, or watch/attend charity games at cons? That's just a small piece of his impact.
He was also wonderful human being who will be missed horribly.

Playtested my new game this week. It was an awesome success. It needs some refinement and definitely some GM instructions to help new GMs facilitate play, but altogether when players want to play more you know you've hit gold!
