AKA accidentalfrase Canadian TTRPG designer of Sword Noir, Centurion, Nefertiti Overdrive, Sword’s Edge & others
And in non-political thoughts (difficult, but I need to take a breath)

Working on the second edition of Kiss My Axe is creating a push to update Sword's Edge (and maybe even Sword Noir).

A key change to how Momentum (think initiative) works is being born, and it alters some fundamentals.

I don’t believe it for a second

Trying to get the Kiss My Axe II book ready for POD publishers is kicking my butt. I can't schedule the Christmas auction session until I can get every player their book.

BTW: the TTRPG session made the most money of any item during the auction (proceeds to Ottawa Food Bank).

The only time I drink Tim Horton’s is in Seoul.

It’s the irony that’s so delicious.

Just finished the scenario for the game I'll run at the work Xmas party: Harshwood. It's a Western heavily inspired by "Silverado" using F#ck 'Em Up, where the PCs face the interests of big business (ranchers) and monopolists (railroad barons). Time to beat the crap out of union-busting Pinkertons!

While I've got started in Cute In Kevlar--a new adventure for F#ck 'Em Up--my current efforts are to prep for the work team's Christmas party.

And while F#ck 'Em Up is free, the rest of my stuff is on sale for the next few days as part of @itch.io's Black Friday sale.

Part of the fun of designing adventures--like Cute in Kevlar--is naming the Challenges (the obstacles the PCs must overcome or NPCs with which they interact).

Next project: Cute in Kevlar, a F#ck 'Em Up adventure about high schoolers protecting their own who've been targeted by an authoritarian government

The update to Kiss My Axe is ready to rock. I don't know how I'll release it, but I've got it ready for my work Christmas auction (proceeds to the local food bank). It's been a tradition to auction off a game night including the game, and this year'll be no different.

I was lucky enough to spend two weeks working in Canberra recently. Absolutely lovely city. And this was my walk to the hotel from work each day.

Perfect to decompress and enjoy.

Current project complete! Expect to see Op ROGUE: A CASE File for Sword's Edge coming in November.

The Detachment heads back to Albenistan to rescue a family cast adrift by a political administration driving into fascism.

Drinking beer in Tokyo because somebody thinks that the things I say have value.

I love my life!

Direct Action was a game of special warfare operators doing good outside the system. Think of the A-Team, or a SOF version of the Equalizer or Burn Notice.

Beautiful Sunday of a long weekend?

Might as well do some trail walking!
