Reading up on the Realis RPG in anticipation of its kickstarter.
Wielding the power of writing and the structure of sentences to fuel roleplay is enticing. Exactly the sort of game that appeals to me BUT I'm not certain my playgroup would feel the same.
I'll be watching it closely.

In today’s session of Blades, a weird love triangle forms between a corpse dealer, a respected Charterhall scientist, and an abomination!
A crew members numbs the pain of their work by willingly offering their body to a ghost!
And another is interrogated within an inch of his life by Bluecoats.

An ARC just ended my 7-run streak in ARC raiders. I truly thought I was blessed only to be humbled by a dumb machine.
(Mind you, said machine did have a rocket launcher but still!)

So I couldn’t get past the writing in the Vox Machina cartoon but this new one is much better!
I have just one criticism so far:
Where are the huge backpacks?
Literally every DnD adventurer has one.

Feel like I might have cracked a design idea I’ve had rattling around in my head for a while.
If I’m lucky, it might provide me with a nice framework to complete a game I’d previously shelved!

In Seattle our progressive Mayoral candidate could win by less than a thousand votes
SEATTLE!!!
We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

For the sake of saving money and skirting finance law, companies count as “people” in my country.
For the sake of participating in suicide pacts, I’m sure they’ll argue that no “people” were involved.

As a child I, my brother, and my mother were all reliant on food stamps for several years while my mother went back to school to get her nursing degree.
Even so we still had to go without a lot of the time to get by.
Now our president is strangling SNAP with the intention of hurting people?!

Fantasizing about returning to production on a Moth-Light book. Really proud of the work I've done with the sheets and the rules.
The overwhelming process of laying out a 200+ page book and populating it with art is what's made me balk to this point but I think it'll get done some day.

My regular gaming's groups new Blades in the Dark crew is turning out to be the most reprehensible group of criminals I've ever GMed. Think "The Substance" if that film followed distributors and not the users.
I completely trust them all to pull it off without things getting weird in the bad way.

If the money funneled into “AI” were given to genomics researchers instead we would have multiple breakthroughs a year related to curing diseases and extending human life
Instead we have … this …

Awww, thanks so much for the shout out. One day I’ll finish the game, I promise ❤️
I have been, and continue to be, really obsessed with Moth-Light, by @mothlands.bsky.social! The setting of giant bugs on a planet far far away is SO intriguing, and I think it was a genius idea to provide four different genres attached to the same setting.

People are rightfully questioning Trump’s anti-science nonsense but anti-science ideas have been infiltrating our culture for decades now.
Even the seemingly “common sense” idea that multiple vaccines can “overwhelm the immune system”, is propaganda. With exception, science doesn’t support that.

Got my first Silksong ending this morning. The game is so good! Some of the secret spots are absolutely devious.
Here’s hoping there’s a late game version of the dream nail fights.
