A gift, for the festive season, my first ever an OSR. You can tell its an OSR because its made entirely out of offcuts from B2 The Keep on the Borderlands. Its compatible with many games and also incompatible with at least 3, probably.

This week, we’re talking about… getting to the point 📝!
So, so many RPGs go on and on as if they’re being paid by the word. Which, fair, you might think. Except, isn’t there someone you’re forgetting to ask?
THE READER. AND THE POOR PEOPLE THEY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO.

And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol

#over/under: I've not had a chance to grieve a lot of the people I lost in my life, so Millie getting to grieve her toxic lesbian crush was a really nice experience.

Most players won't ever see it but the mod and admin team behind #over/under are honestly doing an amazing job. This game is full on at times and the level of communication and care in the boss channels from @samsorensen.bsky.social, @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com and co is great.

Today was Cabral's last day in #OVER/UNDER. She spoke with friends. Sat in a garden. Gave up her titles. Broke up with her girlfriend. Sent someone a gun. Made her peace. Waited for her ride.

Been having a *lot* of tears in the rain moments with #over/under these past 24 hours, finding that I'm immensely and deeply moved constantly; sometimes with it only *really* hitting hours after the fact. Fantastic shit, no notes (actually I may write a post about death in rpgs, so stay tuned).
