Apparently I was in over my head trying to run Pendragon. It has been a while since I’ve had such difficulty running a game with no idea what I would do differently if I was to run it again. Maybe get a degree in Arthurian Lit.

Love this game. Great mechanics that uses stickers for xp!
Please share -- Last year I released a #ttrpg about fight fascists in a crumbling dystopia, where your weirdness and community are your strengths. I'm giving away 500 community copies of the game for anyone that needs a little hope right now.

I haven't really been posting much over here...
The Tribes in the Dark draft is being edited, and we are starting to plan for the crowdfunding. I just got done fixing up the Roll20 sheets (which I'm so fucking glad of, I don't want to see them any more).
