It's thrilling that the second edition of Hot War is now available in PDF & to preorder in hardcopy. It keep everything that was great about 1st ed, but makes it so much better. Plus the art and design from @paulbourne.bsky.social and @handiworkgames.bsky.social is phenomenal, as you would expect

*I'm* not saying we make one of the most consistently interesting bodies of TTRPG work out in the world today. That's for other people to say oh hi David
Beowulf. Maskwitches. Five Evil. a|state. Cold City and Hot War. Is it possible that @handiworkgames.bsky.social have the largest, most consistently interesting body of TTRPG work out in the world today? I think it might be.

We live in unusual times when, across the span of a production cycle of Hot War, the content of a game went from “is this going to be a bit close to home?” to “are these real posters?”
Backers should get the pdf of Hot War second edition before the end of the month. And that’s really soon.

The second edition of Hot War is very much a collective effort. The text would be nothing without the art and design from @paulbourne.bsky.social and @handiworkgames.bsky.social. A few silly lines of mine are transformed into something really cool. I love this stuff.

a|state second edition is a glorious full colour hardback packed with amazing art from co-creator Paul Bourne. It’s a high idiosyncratic and engaging setting for you and your players to explore and define at the table.
