There is of course an actual campaign in the last few hours... if you were worried about probability curves and @armadajosh.bsky.social has soothed any concerns then you can back the 2d10 game here ;)

If only the poor people making this unwise criticism knew how much of my life involves @armadajosh.bsky.social showing me bell curves of probability data he has actually plotted... they would never have been foolish enough to say a word about 2d10 v. 2d6.

You have brought this on yourselves.

Josh Fox 🔜 Ex Tenebris coming to Kickstarter @armadajosh.bsky.social · 18h

Good morning! I have had a couple of people tell me Ex Ten shouldn't use 2d10 because it breaks the PBTA probability curve. They could not be more wrong and I am going explain why, because it's the end of my campaign and I need something to keep me sane, ok?

Strap in.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

New (and old) on Old Men: We talked to @johnpower.bsky.social, the man behind @wyrdscience.bsky.social, about the latest issue. (We also reposted a much longer interview about how he came to hold this particular chalice, and the games that made him into the Magazine Wizard he is today.) #ttrpg

I'd missed two weeks of MMA training because of illness, I'd missed 6 months of going bouldering...

So when I did 2 sessions of MMA this weekend and 2 hours of bouldering, I think I overdid it.

Ouch, the DOMS are real and they are everywhere (and so are the bruises) :(

That was my first thought too!

Easy - 'what appears to be'

GM: "You see, what appears to be, a dog eating a bone.'
Player; "So it's a dog..."
GM: It appears to be...
Player: "I know what a bloody dog looks like Alex! Does it have anything to suggest otherwise?"
GM: "You look closer and it appears to be wearing a collar"

I hadn't heard about EX TENEBRIS and it's kickstarter, but this (looong) interview-meets-description definitely sold me on it. If "40k investigation but you don't play as fascists" sounds good to you, have a read.

Kieron Gillen @kierongillen.bsky.social · 6d

Interview feature with @armadajosh.bsky.social and @beckyannison.bsky.social about EX TENEBRIS, currently in the last week of their crowdfunder, where we talk influences, mystery games, systems and their future.

"I just didn’t want my friends to have to play fascist enforcers."
