I'm right with you, couldn't get on with it at all. Returned to my binge watch of DS9 (almost done!) 😊

I think the series would be vastly more entertaining if you did neither of those things 😊.

Rob Wieland passed away last week at the age of 48; as a passionate and well-informed advocate of our hobby, he'll be greatly missed. As a tribute, @wyrdscience.bsky.social has put Rob's insightful article from February about the 40th anniversary of Pendragon as the lead on their new website.

Looks like Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is back on the menu, boys. Restocked. Gotta start making lighter books. Getting too old for this "moving boxes of books around" business!

For the afternoon crowd: How I'm embedding Cold War era concept of societal collapse in the aftermath of a nuclear attack into #HotWar 2nd edition. Cheery!

Malcolm Craig @malcolmcraig.bsky.social · 2d

1) In redesigning #HotWar for its 2nd ed w/ @handiworkgames.bsky.social, a lot of work has gone into further embedding the game's themes into the play mechanics. A way this was done in #ColdCity was to introduce 'The Cold'. But in HW, this is replaced with 'Breakdown'. So what's that then?

Our 16th annual CottageCon approaches and, as with every single preceding year, I feel woefully unprepared to run games. Why does this feeling always arise? I've been running games, without a period of deep-freeze, for roughly 40 years so what the hell am I worried about? Damn you, brain!

I run a free #TTRPG Discord called The Raspy Raven (link in bio) that organises a diverse range of games across the globe and occasionally we even produce scenarios to buy and meet up face-to-face.

It sounds like a promo, but I'm very proud of the community we've created & the many gaming memories.

While we wait for the publication of the Monad Edition of #DeeSanction, the existing material remains relevant and perfect for getting you up and running. Nothing is being replaced; it's just being enhanced and expanded around.

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is the ENnie-nominated storytelling game of the psychedelic Mesolithic. Honestly, if that sounds bad, we can't sell you on it.

Puppets, sets, smoke, 3d printed pony skulls, Maskwitches has the lot.

Three Maskwitches puppets - figures with ragged clothes and masks made out of seeds and nut shells.

An evil spirit from Forgotten Doggerland. It's made of black shiny stuff with hair.

It's bloody good, isn't it! As I was watching it I was pondering how I could wring a Delta Green scenario out of it.
