I’ll forever be thinking about O/U and all the brilliant things that game did for me and my place in the hobby, and all the strange things it did *to me*.

Last year, @samsorensen.bsky.social developed Over/Under, a @mothership.bsky.social-inspired megagame. When he asked @lincodega.com to be one of the bosses, they had no idea what they were getting into.
But they knew that they needed to write it down.

great players make GMs better, and that's never been more true in my experience than the Cloud Empress session we played yesterday.

absolutely agree, though where I'd say CE has an edge over Troika is that watt's reworking of the stress+panic rules from Mothership are more harmonious with the "violence is scary/awful, and a hard choice not a default behaviour" principle. It's such a good game.

absolutely stunning - Cloud Empress has one of the strongest and most refreshing aesthetics I've ever seen in RPGs. Great game to play too!

Your take is on the money! In retrospect, I wish I had made it more clear that Cairn as-written is how I play, and that my post was a thought-experiment responding to people I'd spoken to on Discord who said their groups wanted some D&D-like advancement and D&D-ish backgrounds. Some lessons learned!

it's gone quiet for now, but I believe Darrington/CR have sponsored a whole bunch of pretty big non-CR actual play shows to run Daggerheart seasons soon and they're likely to go into a regular supplement release schedule in the coming year or so.

Otherwise… Vivaldi I guess?

The newest Missive includes TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE DATACACHE, a Mothership freebie inspired by my time playing #OVER/UNDER last month, that lets you easily add datacaches, intel ops, counterintel, and tokens to your own space stations. Plus, more cool stuff: meatcastle.substack.com/p/dead-weigh...

Setting this up then seeing each of the 8 players pick up the Mythic Bastionland vibes and run with it has been a delight.
I can’t wait to see where this all goes and what the knights choose to do next.
