Today's solo RPG: Hardcase, about odd jobs and getting in trouble in space. It's rad! Very open-ended; it gives you some PbtA mechanics, a bunch of tables and some processes, and you act as your own GM. It takes effort to make it all into a story, but it's worth it.

Now that the 1.0 version is out and the start date is set, it's finally time to post about VANGUARD, my adaptation of Sam Sorenson's CATAPHRACT.

*vibrates violently holding a degree in interdisciplinary communication and collaboration*

You do not need genAI to communicate your ideas as a non-artist to an artist! A generated image doesn't actually share the key info that needs to passed on AND it discourages fruitful discussion

Look, I recognize there are 81 scenarios and I wrote 3 of them. I don't write these to win, I write them to be a little Delta Green freak pervert about cosmic horror and the state. There are several scenarios I'd be happy losing to.

HOWEVER, don't vote for AI art or racist foghorns, ok?
Every year, Delta Green handlers write up ops for others to judge. Think of it like an office fantasy football league, but instead of imaginary teams you have piles of dead Agents. The 2025 Shotgun Scenario contest features 81 operations. Read and vote here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

everyone's goal for 2026 should be getting into using RSS feeds & readers for updates on everyone's projects rather than relying on social media alone. I don't think "big, badly moderated forums where everyone hangs out and gets cranky" are working great for that.

A reminder for when you're out in the cold doing your Christmas shopping, Starbucks is an anti-worker union-busting company. Get your coffee or hot chocolate elsewhere.
BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV.

It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith.

Shame on Starbucks!

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

The question is: have d20 conversions done harm to a game line or publisher. (Thanks @chrishanrahan.bsky.social for the pointer.)

Yeah, I think so. I think they've done damage to the original lines, which wasn't repairable when d20 died out. And I think they've done brand damage.
A serious question: In the ~25 years that people/publishers have been converting their RPGs to be d20 system/5e-based, what examples are there of the conversion doing serious harm to the game line/publisher as a whole?

It's Black Friday! Go buy stuff, because I guess that's what we do today!

You could, for instance, do it on itch, where everything's 20% off (or everything for $50, which is a bit more off on top of that) and it's creator day so I get all proceeds: itch.io/s/169020/bla...
