I went on the @techdiffgp.bsky.social podcast to run the one-shot from the back of the Bite The Hand rulebook that goes surprisingly smoothly, until it very suddenly doesn't.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Is it weird and wrong if I say that my own game is sort of a Frankenstein of Mothership and Cyberpunk RED/2020? I mean maybe it's like 80/20 mechanically, but still.

On the 3rd it'll be one month until Bite the Hand launches, and I am gonna be insufferable yelling about it. I've got an interview in the can and at least three one-shot actual plays lined up. Fingers crossed it's enough for this to get printed.

Calling all indie #ttrpg developers, The Roll For Distraction Developer Showcase, an #actualplay series where we invite game developers to run one-shots of their games, is on the hunt for more developers to feature their work on the show, as well as more players to fill seats!
