Broadly happy, Town Fan, RPG Superfan and host of the Frankenstein's RPG Podcast. Desperately trying not to talk politics on here but I am weak. Also a bit ill, so sorry if I'm a bit..."sharp" at times. Plus #TaxtheRich

My family come from between Ardbeg and Laphroaig on Islay - I am preconditioned just to love them all!

Absolutely, almost a straight swap for Bene Gesserit and Spacing Guild?

A couple more sales/downloads of this overnight. 724 downloads now. Trying to find the time to get the follow-up scenario written so I can invite folks to help playtest it. 😊

I promised myself I’d work on some of my own projects while freelancing this time around, so with that in mind, here’s THE 13 DEMONS OF AKUMA SAIZO.

A 28 page adventure for RONIN. By me. For you.
Hope you like it. :-)

Also think it would work well as an iteration of Dune.

I wonder if people actually played the game and enjoyed it rather than bleating, we might all be happier? Or perhaps they should write their own "perfect probability" game?
Looking forward to playing it, and good luck with the Kickstarter!!

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 ;)

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.
