The wonderful Secret Passages zine about retro tabletop gaming & culture returns on Kickstarter!
It’s worth checking out on its own merits, but also I wrote a standalone scenario for the KS featuring pirates & curses that can be used with any low fantasy RPG!

thought this was an article about Scramble 😬
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

you should add to the # of reads, it's *very* good
If you'd told me a while back that my piece on Twilight 2000, the Cold War, an apocalyptic imagination would rack up over 1000 reads in a short space of time, I would have laughed. I'm delighted that it's reached such a wide audience for something in a scholarly publication like the JAS.
Hurrah! My article on the Twilight 2000 RPG in the Journal of American Studies is now open access (OA), so anyone who wants to can have a read. OA is important to me, as I want my work on RPG history to go beyond the academy and reach the gaming public.
