Magpie has shared a preview of their new game Airlock on Roll20. Airlock is the space horror version of Zombie World, one of my favourite games.

My friend is visiting from the US, so I should finally receive my copy of the 28 collected. I was so happy they decided to make a printed version. The magazines are incredible. You can see a flip through below.

I bought this book that is clearly meant for 10 year olds. Each page is about some 40K character. The form factor is kind of goofy, it’s like an inch of space for a small sprue. Adding to the this is very much for children effect.

The second time I wrote about Trophy was on Bones of Contention. A review so epic we all refused to write another, apparently.

I have written about Trophy twice, first on my blog: save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/review/troph...

Save vs. Total Party Kill - Initial Thoughts on Trophy Gold

I ran Temple of the Peerless Star1 using Trophy Gold for some of the TorontOSR posse. We split our game over two weeks. We normally play for about 2.5 hours nowadays, and that felt a bit too tight to ...

Happy Birthday to Jesse! Trophy Gold is one of my absolutely favourites. Playing it with the #TorontOSR was a blast. Felt like for a while we had a posse of people obsessed. Need to come back to it, do something with Loom!

Tomorrow is my birthday, and this last year has been a rough one. If any of the games or other art I’ve made have had a positive impact on you, hearing your stories would bring me a lot of joy 💖

All this time I thought the main inspiration must have been Debbie Harris from Blondie.

I loved Pound of Flesh. I’m curious what the Mothership posse will do expanding the adventure out. It’s already fantastic — and very dense.

The briefest post on reaction rolls, after listening to Between Two Cairns. I need to get back to my habit of just posting short thoughts on places that might not implode.

Was something leaked? It’s weirdly bereft of any details.

You could migrate to Blacksky, take your followers and everything else with you. It should be seamless for existing people who follow you. It seems like there is some weirdness for people who don’t to look you up. @vqvz.com follows accounts here, but was created on Blacksky.

I used to zone focus a lot and got OK with the scale, but in the end I sold mine and bought a GR. A long time ago now. I still have too many film cameras.
