Nice to meet you!

I made a roleplaying game called Offworlders. Now I am working on one called Night Tripper. They are both space adventure games.

I pour sake for a living.

Gonna go around pronouncing Flames of Orion the same way I pronounce “Orion” the Okinawan beer until someone hits me.

OSR versus Storygames is grognard shit. Both are dead. Games With Serious Math are gonna rise once more from the boneyard.

My LASERGUN flyer aesthetic has inspired people across the country to start their own in-person game clubs. This is the most important contribution to TTRPGs I can hope to aspire to. I'm retiring now.

Just saw this and I also just made a Night Tripper character. Gonna use this opportunity to post characters made in the upcoming Ansible version. Characters look very different from the current version on the site.

Here's Ikree Echov:

When the revolution came, he escaped with his life, but not his honor.

Vital research
Two big ttrpg rulebooks each opened to a spread of rules for speculative trade. The Traveller Book and Ultraviolet Grasslands, the latter on top of the former.

Always a treat to find a Jaquays when digging through old Traveller stuff
A black and white pen drawing of a woman seen in profile, wearing a long-sleeved body suit and helmet with a visor. She is crouched as if sneaking. In her left hand is a sci-fi pistol, in her right is a dagger. The drawings is signed "Jaquays 1980"

What the hell man.
*Digging deep into nerd hobby niche bedrock* Document: The current hype-driven state of ttrpgs is untenable and unrewarding. Chris: Yes, true D: Play can and should be free and wild, creativity and leisure have been coopted into subscription services so we cannot even own our own joy. C: Hell yeah, preach. D: Thus is because of the GLOBALISTS C: God damn it.

Less Cassette Futurism, more of this.
Yes, I am currently reading another Culture novel.

Paintings by John Berkey, John Harris, and Syd Mead
Painting by John Berkey. Gleaming white ships sail in the sky over rolling green hills. A small town in the distance, tiny police cars on the ground, dwarfed by the vessels. Painting by John Harris. A gray starship flies away from the viewer, towards what is apparently a broken band from a destroyed ring world. clouds, seas and continents are visible on its surface. Blue and purple stars in the background. Painting by Syd Mead. A futuristic blue car with gleaming chrome wheels in an orange desert landscape. Two figures stand next to the rear wheel, which is as tall as they are.

When you manage to leave your homeworld despite its low tech level
31. Peasant Skills 1. Farming On a world where your social betters tightly controlled the scant technology, you paid a tithe from the crops and beasts you raised by your own hand. 2. Strength Forged in the thousand daily labors from dawn to dusk. 3. Brawling There were many nights when things got a little out of hand at the public house. 4. Rabble-rousing And a few nights where the anger fell upward, towards your landlord in his hovering keep. 5. Spear fighting It couldn't be so different from skewering a squealing hog. Probably easier. Possessions Boar Spear Sturdy with long, thick lugs. Wineskin Boiled leather jerkin (Armor 1) Laser Pistol An unimaginably valuable treasure. When characters without the corresponding skill fire energy weapons, the weapon explodes on double ones and kills the user.

If someone posted this in #OVER/UNDER and asked for tokens it would catch some of you.
Sunny day in Griffith park. An old wooden sign with the words “PONY AND TRAIN RIDES” with an arrow pointing ahead spans two posts.
