Due to a YouTube rabbit hole I have just discovered that the Relict title font is the same as the one used for Blair Witch 2

Due to a combination of technical gremlins and limited rural resources, I have been internetless for most of the past several weeks, save for my weak cell reception.

But last night I ran a Relict game for my home group via conference call and it was baller.

The promise of "double sided spatula for PB & j" vs the reality of "now my hand is covered in f*&$ing jelly"

I've been quietly tinkering with a sci-fi expansion for Relict and an accompanying setting, DEBT MERC.

It's very early days, mostly still in writing and mechanics.

Throwing this out there:
Relict needs monsters. I'm working on a book about it. But I'm also a one-man team.
If I was to host a Relict monster-making game jam with, say, some rulebooks as prizes -- would folks be interested in that?

Normally I don't read my reviews, because that's scary and I don't care for that. But in gathering up some info in prep for The Memory Thief launch, I saw this and it really made my day 💞

Update: no update. They don't know if/when they're onboarding the people they hired, so we don't know if/when we have a job. We're moving forward as if not, and we'll see. Still selling the house and going all-in on freelance work. Thread below has ways to help with that if you'd like to share!
What's going on:
We're currently waiting to see if my wife's new job got DOGEd. It's been a three year hiring process. We've been told for months that they were exempt, only to hear after she put in her notice that now it's unclear.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Me, who's been working from home for employers, clients, and now myself for over five years, usually works well past midnight, and hasn't taken a day off in three months because I ~forget to~ :
