I was told electing a progressive prosecutor would inevitably lead to a rise in crime.

Philadelphia records the fewest homicides in 60 years, plus other insights to 2025’s crime
The drop in homicides to 222 mirrors a national reduction in violence and follows years of sustained declines after Philadelphia’s homicide rate peaked during the pandemic.

If you have a spare $1 a month (budgets are tight so I would not assume anyone does honestly), I have a Patreon where I post early blogposts and early PDFs of my games. Also occasionally some exclusive stuff like this little retrospective.

Getting in one last post before the end of 2025. It was a very good year. I feel much better about blogging than I did 12 months ago. Presenting the Blog of Forlorn Encystment's year-in-review:

2025 Table Thread! 🧵
Just like last year, I am going through some of this year’s Tables I’ve shared and giving them another once over. I’ll include a few of the “Easter Eggs” that jump out at me as I read through them again (but I won’t spoil them all!)

Over 40 this year!

There has not ever, in my knowledge, been a collection of new and established black TTRPG designers like the Griot Anthology.

The industry has largely not given a shit.

I expect the same for Five Fires.

This was going to be a rare whining post, but actually?

Fuck that.

Instead: Thank you

Howdy TTRPG folks! I wrote a kind of big article talking about colonialism and a classic Traveller adventure, Legend of the Skyraiders! Also, I think I proved that this adventure is based on King Solomon's Mines! #ttrpg #DnD #Traveller

Oh, right. New arrivals:

Around the parts of Bluesky I frequent, it's mostly settled that we're not doing generative AI as it now exists in TTRPGs, and if you want to argue with that, you'll mostly get yelled at, made fun of, and blocked, by various people.

So, pick that battle at your own risk.
