I'm working on resuscitating Transmissions from the Archive (my newsletter) and am really excited with these updates.
I'm announcing a few things, clarifying a few things I'm unfortunately behind on, and in general rebooting a BUNCH of projects.

Ohhh, this is sick. I've never thought of a Blame!-like aesthetic for terrain but it feels so natural!

This was such a great listen and wonderful, gushing review of WWGTAG. Thank you both @chrisair.itch.io and @meatcastlegameware.com for taking the time to talk about one of my more out there and ambitious modules.
I aimed high for a hard sci-fi adventure and it sounds like it paid off.

This is so rad to hear. I love hearing about people playing my games. Thanks for sharing!
I played Grand Armor twice last week with friends.
We had fun exploring an old factory, fighting treasure hunters and evil AI.
My last game in 2025 and rated 5/5.

Not sure why but I've seen a surge in traffic for Grand Armor.

Recently got a chance to get BattleTech to the table and interested in seeing others' experience with it.
Played 2-player skirmish &, towards the end of the encounter, it seemed like it wasn't worth it to move as your 'to hit' roll was penalized for moving.
So it just became a stationary brawl.
