FiveEvil: Fiendish 5e Horror

My upcoming horror #TTRPG, made from twisting 5e until it squealed, and sprinkling some indie game genius over the mess.

Kickstarter link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

Index thread follows…
Blades '68 is a great prompt to talk about great #TTRPG cities! Cities are complicated to bring to the game table because they are so dense and complex, so cause and effect get scattered out through the whole...

The updated Doskvol in Blades '68 shows how robust the original design is...

It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.

It would be nice if some part of the political process was about acknowledging the trade-offs involved in different approaches.

Just watching nz question time replay. Govt ministers saying the last government wrecked the country and they are fixing it. What a useless dead-end for democracy.

The next stretch goal is @fromthemorgue.bsky.social, who will be looking into the comics scene of Doskvol in '68. Very excited for it.

hey it's me! Excited to dig into Doskvol's comics scene. Comics history in the real world is a mess of organized crime and huge personalities in desperate situations, ripe for Bladesification.

One thing I haven't answered for myself yet - are the comics in Doskvol '68 dominated by superheroes? 🤔

How about you?

Tell Me More Tell Me More! is of course named after the best* song in Grease, in which a summer romance is recounted to eager audiences. In the early versions of the game, it was designed to be played in front of an audience, and the audience had a huge role in play. 1/

I would also accept the integration of the phrase "the Epstein class" into everyday speech.

Short. Accurate. To the point.
On the most recent episode of @trashfuture.bsky.social, Riley coins the term "Epsteinist" for the politics of profiting from managed decline and the promotion of that decline, and I think it should catch on.
Anti-trans hate is an industry. Not a movement, not a moral concern, not an organic uprising of worried parents — an industry, deliberately constructed, lavishly funded, & strategically deployed to protect the interests of the powerful men who finance it

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
