My friend @jackno.bsky.social (a genius game designer) is behind Untamed Worlds. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Ran Neon City Outlaws at Gen Con today, first play of The Convention Job (which will be one of the free scenarios coming to Kickstarter backers once it's been playtested and polished). Went really well, and the players were great. Already found some things to tweak before Saturday's session!

It's my birthday. Not usually a fan of the aging process, but I don't feel too bad about it this year. Instead, I'm more concerned about my country's piss poor political condition, job security, and my current freelance project. Not necessarily in that order, but it should tell you where I'm at.

Ringo: you must be Doc Holliday.
Doc: That's the rumor.
Ringo: You retired too?
Doc: Not me. I'm in my prime.

Got home and realized I have a subconjunctival hemorrhage in my right eye. Never had one of these before. Neat.

A little plug for my friends over at Green Ronin. There's a Fantasy AGE 2nd edition bundle over at Bundle of Holding. The system is a lot of fun, especially if you're looking for a break from D&D.

Was up early. Couldn't sleep.

Made breakfast, sorted through pictures on my desktop, unpacked some books and shelved them.

Going to shelve some more, try to get some of these boxes out of my office space.

Then, maybe, I'll get some real work done before the sun sets.

It's funded with only five days to go. Honestly, you can never have too many cyberpunk-themed RPGs.

My friend Rodney Thompson is spinning up a new TTRPG called Neon City Outlaws, and it's up on Kickstarter right now.

I worked with Rodney on a number of supplements for the Saga Edition Star Wars RPG, and I can vouch for his quality and prodigious talent. Please consider backing his KS!

We are moved. Still need to do a little work on the old place, but for now, I want to sit quietly and let the sweat dry.
May 27, 2025 at 10:06 PM
The movers arrive in about 14-15 hours. No matter how much we've done, how much we prepared, or how early in the process we got started, why doesn't it feel like enough?

TBF, all the major stuff is packed and ready. It's just all the little things... stupid dumb little things.

TFW you look at the 12 boxes of TTRPG books you just packed, only to realize you've got another 12 boxes worth of books to go. Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.

Moving sucks. I'd post a cat picture (for Caturday), but they're terrified of all the boxes and are hiding somewhere.
