Great, thanks!

Since it is about subversive leaflet distribution, perhaps after playing this one page game you could leave it somewhere for someone to find?

Nice, thanks for sharing that. Is the idea that Maia-touched is men of numenorean descent, or wizards, or something else?

As an interesting corollary, I used to work for a 480 year old organisation and you could go and read the bound copies of the minutes from council meetings all the way back to its beginnings.

I wonder how many modern businesses will have readable minutes in 100 years time?

Paper is underrated!

It’s weird to think that this era might end up being so short that it disappears within the historical record!

That sounds interesting, I’d not heard of that. Is it for CoC, ToC, or something else?

I love your Dutch angles

I was blocked by a software guy that I liked following and interacting with. I found him on mastodon and asked if there had been a mistake or something and it turned out he was just a dick

Trail of Cthulhu did it by giving PCs “drives” - specifically the reason why they have to investigate the danger.

Of course, players have to lean into the conceit of a game.

I’ve run the Dead White World once and it was a blinder. One of my favourite Cthulhu scenarios ever.

Purist is brilliant for one shot and convention games IMO.

I can see how a campaign would be harder though. Difficult to keep them alive enough!

Can I recommended my game Tail-End Charlie? A solo game about being a tail gunner in WW2, balancing romance and risk

Tail-End Charlie
A solo game about the tail-gunners of Bomber Command. Contrast finding love off-duty with the danger of operations.

I’m sad that I’ve got out of practice. Dancing stopped during Covid and I’ve never got back to it 💃🏻🕺🏻

Getting it to work twice was the elusive bit for me!

I’ve won a dancing competition doing the Argentine Tango (Tesco Does Strictly in 2013, raising money for Alzheimer’s Society)

I think I’m in the same boat. I don’t mind smallish spaces but I couldn’t do some of that caving (like the infamous cheese press!)

Good job you‘re not claustrophic! I know some people who would have not liked that at all!
January 13, 2026 at 12:18 PM
Good luck with the kickstarter - I hope you get lots of follows!
