ChronoGun: The Countdown Conspiracy

Introducing the design doc for ChronoGun: The Countdown Conspiracy, a light-gun game-flavored, rules-lite TTRPG. The doc is not yet complete; I need to add special enemies, an encounter table, and a sample adventure. I am looking for folks to collaborate on these core conceits and playtest w/ me.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

It's my birthday in less than a week and so if anyone wants to give me some breathing room as we sort out the moving costs for a new roommate - which will keep me from needing so much bloody help going forward - I would appreciate it.

Occasionally I do a pretty good impression of an Indigenous business reporter. Here's what I had in Tribal Business News this week.
First up: the Cherokee Nation is emulating a federal tax incentive program to attract investment to its poorest communities.

Dunno if anyone's bored but I think @4allout.bsky.social's profile could use some reports. I don't often engage in encouraging people to report a profile, but the man is actively engaging in bigoted behavior, issuing sexual assault threats and encouraging suicidal behavior, alongside his friends.

The wonderful thing about wizards
Is wizards just get a d6
So slash 'em and whack 'em,
Bash 'em and smack 'em,
They'll go down with barely a nick!

As an agnostic-at-best person who simply has not studied enough to have an opinion on Upstairs Management, I'd really like to experience whatever rapturous disconnect the Xenosaga writers must have had.
Good lord.

I can't stop thinking of a particular phrase I used in a short story once - about a character furious that people around him kept sacrificing themselves for his wellbeing. The character didn't think his life was worth theirs, and thought of the concept as "buying copper with gold."

So I made a Light-Gun Arcade Game RPG. I'd like to make it an actual (free) product and put it places people could download it. I'd like it to include art. I do not have money for art. I would sooner eat my own right hand than use AI.
Where are some stock art, CC repositories?
