Getting my Fallout examples going for Hollywood Underhills. Next up, Cash Stress, which will include both "You had to pawn your gun" and "You pawned your gun and someone bought it to use in a crime" as moderate upgrade of that.

Since it's that time of year, if you've ever wanted a light system for being trapped on a space station that's been bought by a legally distinct Spirit Halloween and having to do crimes to get away, well, see the itch link below.

Welcome to Scarytown, the 24xx RPG where your corporate-owned space colony got bought by the last resort of all corporate-owned things: A Halloween-themed popup storefront. You'd probably kill someone to get out and someone else might pay you for it!

Looking at my copy of Mutants in the Now/Next and realizing that you can work from vampire bats as your base animal -and- be a human born mutant and finally, an RPG where you can begin to Morb. Not sure if this is an endorsement or not actually, come to think about it.

Imagine being dumped into the world you built as a shitty teenage dungeon master. Now imagine it funny. Okay, funnier. Funnier than that. Page-turningly funny. Okay - go back Cringe Wizard.
My light novel about a guy reliving his own bad TTRPG campaign is almost funded. If it looks interesting (or you know anyone who might be into it) we just need a little push to get it over the line 🙏
CRINGE WIZARD: A TTRPG Isekai Light Novel
A light novel about a guy forced to live through the terrible TTRPG campaign he ran when he was a teenager.

Andrew Dice of Carpe Fulgur has passed. This is devastating. Not only did Recettear have a big impact on me, so too did their decision to found a company to translate indie games. It was incredible to see them go all in on their dreams like that. Respect to both of them. We’ll miss you Andrew.

If I had a nickel for every time someone accidentally replicated real world racist tropes with D&D style gnomes I'd have like...4-5 nickels now? I dunno man, it just keeps happening. In different ways?

If I had a nickel for every time I started playing a 9 foot tall/3 meter giant melee/close range combat character in a game who somehow ended up the party stealth/intrusions specialist as well I'd have like, 3 nickels, which is starting to form pattern of giants you can't see clearly.

Digging up some old Feng Shui 2e homebrew and considering how to stick this gimmick into other games because look, nineties supernatural procedurals had this shit all over whenever you had a guy who could be shoved into a period outfit and made to reflect on his past.

100 days ago, I clicked Itch's "initiate new payment" button. I still haven't been paid.
Inspired by this disappointing turn of events, I am pleased to present this survival microRPG about a fellowship seeking fortune to avert the starvation of their families.

Now pondering how to build a class that supports the Nero Wolfe/Lamont Von Helitz/The Dead Man style of "detective who never leaves their home and relies on information brought back to them by other characters." Probably a later supplement/sourcebook, I don't want to keep adding new classes.

Not entirely rhetorical or hypothetical question: If someone bases an entire 5E D&D podcast on your game that is not D&D, are you justified in adding a "5E compatible" note to the marketing blurb?

I've been job hunting for a while, and given the state of tech it's not going well.
If anyone's got connections that need an experienced Product Manager based out of Ontario, I'm looking. I'm damned good at Continuous Discovery, enjoy building and working with teams, and want to solve problems. RS🆗!

It's not a coincidence that Elder Scrolls and Dark Souls were both made by Glorantha nerds, is all I'm saying.

Setting up my Resistance-powered version of Underhills so you can trade tiny pieces of your soul for power, it's fine. Nothing bad can happen from trading consequences now for ongoing worse consequences later.

Just had the sudden and horrific realization that a modern day rewrite of the old Shadowbeat sourcebook for Shadowrun would feature vtubers, naturally, but also podcasts who do deep multi-hour deep dives on why some publicly known figure is even worse than you thought. Behind the Bastards: Lofwyr
