Things I liked in 2025 that I will add to as I think about it.

In terms of games I went half-crazy about with my friends, Blue Prince takes the cake. Below (with some spoilers) is a meme I put together reflecting late-game discussions we had.
Charlie from Always Sunny with conspiracy board. "Furnace: Inherently Evil??? Dinner-maxing Banana Boy If god isn't real, why does the stolen crown fit perfectly on my head? Her ladyship= Titania? Mom= Persephone? Great Uncle Herber= King Minos??? Simon= The minotaur once sealed within the manor, now curse to never call it home How to seal Master Bedroom forever? Barbie Dream House when??? Mrs. Babbage isn't real Puzzle solvers get rewarded with more puzzle solving Who checks the coat check? "If the blue box is false, this box won't not be not never containing no gems."

TFW you're just puttering through the drama and backstabbing, making an honest living and selling ad space for folding credits. #over/under

I've made a Bingo-style Limit Break system for Mothership, because I wanted to. Please remix and reuse as much as you want for other systems!

timogames.ghost.io/teamster-has...
Pick One from the right row All attacks target you until your next turn, they don't hurt you, they only make you madder (+X to damage rolls on your next turn where X is the amount of damage you would have taken) Take 2 unblockable damage, suceed at your next check as long the odds of your success wouldn't be inconceivable. Subtract your current stress from skill rolls for the remainder of the session Reload and fire the entire clip of a nearby Weapon at a single target, all will hit, roll only damage. Your next melee attack that hits deals rolled damage times your current Stress Blood Make as many additional attacks as you would like this turn but move one further down on the Bleeding Wound table for each additional attack, starting at the top 3 Stress 10 dmg 12 dmg 2 dmg 1 dmg Indignation Gain 10 temporary armor this turn, if you are damaged or your armor is destroyed, you may immediately attack your attacker 4 Stress 20 dmg 9 dmg 8dmg 4 dmg Niceties Ceased End a negotiation by putting a weapon on the table, roll d100, 50 and under, your terms are accepted. Above 50, combat immediately breaks out 18 dmg 6 dmg Free (You're a Mothership Character) 15 dmg 17 dmg Going Going Gone Your next melee attack sends your target flying as if they were in zero-g. If conditions are already zero-g, break a piece of equipment of your choice 5 dmg 3 dmg 13 dmg 2 Stress 11 dmg Ontological Collapse A target you attack is atomized. Roll Sanity, Fear, and Body saves, repeat the above effect if you fail and then roll on the Panic Table before resolving your next save 19 dmg 1 Stress 7 dmg 16 dmg 14 dmg Pick One from the above column (excluding the other Pick One)

From AP

THIS is the kind of reporting I need.
"A last quiet moment before the excitement by Vanessa Gera A few minutes before the white smoke, a small seagull chick appeared near the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. Alongside the chick were to larger seagulls, almost as if they were family. Just as the mother was feeding the chick, the chimney began to smoke."
