Cool map! Lots of interesting potential here for game projects, I think.

And yes I WILL be taking questions at this time...

We are still building a world with A Land Once Magic over on Discord. It remains Very Cool. Here's our latest prompt's answer. Song and sound are inherently magical in our world so birds do not need wings to fly and are more like organic flute and chime-covered footballs than what we have on Earth.

Man, I loved Giant Bomb for years, but since the post-Gerstmann/Nextlander era I jumped over to Minnmax as my primary gaming outlet, and now I just can't go back to listening to a panel of 7 (mostly white) men. Shame they don't have a more diverse group. Not even one woman in 2025 is wild (bad) imo.

MeatCastle GameWare - Annual #3 is coming in next week's Missive! 6 TTRPG freebies all in one 24-page zine. I'll be taking pre-orders at that time as well for the physical print run (which will be super limited). Pre-orders will be open for two weeks and then I'll order prints and get them shipped!

Does such a thing as a PbtA wargame exist? Like a grids n minis wargame?

Flatline on the Blocks has been such a fun project! I hadn’t written for Mothership in a while after writing Resonant so it was a good time to work with everybody. #osr www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Eighteen Mothership veterans tear open the Spinal Crux District, a 56pg zine detailing the EYE and its twenty Blocks on Prospero's Dream.

The Star Fallen is my science fantasy alien background for Cairn 2e. It's very cool, I promise. Get it HERE (for free): meatcastlegameware.itch.io/the-star-fal...

Too close to Christmas and whatnot now so I'll be dropping the next Missive (and MCGW Annual #3) during the break in between Christmas and New Year's to make sure folks have time to check it out while laying around and eating too much food.

My Christmas has been paid for because somebody included The Wretched in their Christmas gift guide.

Talk about the stuff you like.
Just a reminder, y’all:
If you love a book, especially an indie-published one, tell the world! They can always use the help. And the authors (and publishers) love hearing it🖤☠️

Wow. As a huge fan of Call of Duty in the early days and Medal of Honor before that AND Titanfall/Apex Legends after that, this is really terrible. One of the biggest names in game development for a long time. I still remembering following all the drama around them getting booted from Infinity Ward.

I want to be salty on the timeline, but I am using the spirit of Christmas to stay my hand... for now.

This post showed me that people here (and elsewhere) just assume, because I make stuff for OSRy games, that I'd never played PbtA/story games or that I was, for some reason, opposed to them. A good plan for the new year would be to not let the endless discourse build up imaginary walls in our mind.
Heading into Moria tonight in an Apocalypse World: Fallen Empires game set in The One Rings' Moria - Through the Doors of Durin! Very excited for this.
