Why does anything go out of print anymore? In fact, why has any RPG gone out of purchasable circulation in the last two decades?

Session two of Ironsworn: SoloFane, where Brynn encounters a certain problem in that, despite being a really good conman, no one seems to believe the lie he tells—just the one they want to believe.

Having met Bryn, the best con man in all of the Ironlands, it's time to get him on his way to Stagkirk. On the way, he runs into some rustlers, some farmers, and a club. It's an awkward meeting.

I went through the trouble of doing the basic porting, so I might as well actually set up to play the thing. Actual play of the Sunless Fane in Ironsworn, or at least the Session 0.

Chubby Funster continues his analysis of old school D&D modules by taking on the Sunless Citadel. Perhaps not surprisingly, I have some thoughts of my own about his thoughts and the scenario itself.

So Chubby Funster posted his analysis of his own first ShadowDark scenario, and I promised him that if he did so, I would convert it into Ironsworn. I really need to stop agreeing to things.

We have here another lightweight, high-speed, low-drag game put together by someone unsatisfied with D&D. Cool. Creation is fun, but is it necessary?

You ever have a moment where a review actually catches you sideways because the presenter does something entirely new and shows you something you've never seen? The acid western Frontier Scum made me hunt it down.

Well, it's the end of the month for me, and RPG A Day 2025 is over. I've cranked out a ton of words on a pile of subjects and even a little fiction. Want all of it in one place? It's right here.

It's been a long month, but RPG A Day is over, at least for me. We end it with a philosophical consideration of multiple ways to approach experience and why.

Another triptych of articles as I move toward DragonCon today. It's all about narrative theory and execution, whether it be regarding your nemesis, what the true purpose of tactics, and how to keep someone in suspense and why.

By necessity, I have to pick up the pace. We'll fold three articles into one today, targeting recent acquisitions, a revelation of gifts, and exactly what is a challenge rank supposed to do?

Everyone at this point knows that Starforged and Ironsworn are excellent for solo play, but not a lot, or at least not enough, has been said about how good they are for co-op and guided play, particularly co-op.

People in the hobby spend a lot of time asking one another, "How can we get more people in," and then criticizing one another for their answers. Perhaps the question itself is flawed.
