I've gone on a TTRPG reading splurge. Come to the conclusion: TTRPG hobby in 2025: we don’t have “a game,” we have a backlog. Steam, but for feelings. We run a campaign, think seriously about a second, & own PDFs for about forty-seven more we “might” play when time and friends stop being finite. 1/8

Cold City (2e): first impressions after a quick read.
Rules-light chassis with a GM dice economy for pacing:
d10 opposed pools, 1950 Berlin pressure cooker, Trust & Hidden Agendas fuel classy spy-betrayal, and fallout is tracked as Consequences.
Here’s what jumped out at me: (1/14)

A quick read of the Invincible quick start and keen to get a group together to play the scenario included. Superhero throw-downs that feel like comic panels getting ripped off the page mid-punch. 1/

Over the weekend I read @modiphius.bsky.social's new Discworld RPG core rulebook. It's a love letter to Pratchett: fast, funny, and relentlessly story-first. Ankh-Morpork pops off the page, and the book keeps the satire without drowning you in crunch. (1/8)

Final game against Jon's beautiful Cathay. An unsurprising 16-4 loss. I can see why a more optimised list would be pretty unfun to play into.
All in all a great time at the TSN arena. @sixdiceskills.bsky.social puts on the best events.

New day, fourth game. This time into Tom's brightly coloured Vampire Counts. I've now played Vampire models as Bretonnians and Bretonnians as Vampires.
A sneaky scout move and a ravenous dragon got me a 16-4 win.
2W2L going into game 5. Perfectly mid as I am 😄

Third game into Dwarven Expeditionary Force piloted by the affable Tom.

But 3 great games, so roll on tomorrow!

My second game was a proper hoot with the lovely @leith-something.bsky.social and his incredibly thematic Warriors of Chaos with every Chaos god represented.
And a win for the Dark Elves 18-2!

First time playing me Dark Elves at an event! Nice to get the army out to play.
Round 1 into Bretonnians playing the lovely Lewis who organised the Saffron Slam tournaments and it went as expected with a 17-3 win to the baguette lovers.
Will have to remember to take more photos!
