Announcing THE LOST SHIP: A hard sci-fi excursion for @sicksad.games's INTO THE BLIND. Investigate the distress signal of a mega-freighter lost 300 years ago on the uncharted planet of GSC-32020191-b...

The cover for Mynar Lenahan's The Lost Ship, a supplement for the tabletop game Into The Blind. A subtitle reveals that the theme of it is Survival. The cover is primarily stars in space, with a silhouetted spaceship crumbling in the centre of the page. A trail of debris from the spaceship leads to a planet on the bottom left corner. The planet's sea is red and the land is green. Additionally, there is a quote on the bottom right corner: "For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer." The quote is attributed to Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former Mr. Universe.

New ONE LAST DOLLAR Job announcement (available for anybody who owns the core rules)!

STRIKE-BREAKER BREAKERS: A union is on strike and their employers aren't taking it well. As strike-breaking efforts ramp up, the union has come to you, free agents, with one request: Break the strike breakers.
A cover for the TTRPG mission, "Strike-Breaker Breakers" for Mynar Lenahan's One Last Dollar tabletop game. It features a bunch of shitty cops in silhouette in front of a full moon. They each hold guns and their badges and buttons glint in the moonlight. Between them, a strange looking dog thing on a leach sits at attention, clutching its front paws in front of it like a rat.

Finally getting around to sharing this, but check out this bundle! It's a wonderful game supporting a terrific cause and it's also tremendous value!

You can also find COLD METAL, my 90s techno-horror campaign in there among many other terrific Hunts, factions, and supplements!
The thumbnail for Cold Metal, a campaign for Bump in the Dark. Visually... there's a lot going on: Robot toys, a hacker in a hoodie, a hovering computer, and a forest filled with ones and zeroes... The vibes are very nineties. It also mentions that there's a free demo called Blackmailer Daemon, which is intriguing...

If you're like me and have to wait for friends to be free to watch SINNERS (or are lucky enough to have already seen it), may I recommend my game ONE LAST DOLLAR, a Depression-era Trophy game about dealing with monsters (human and otherwise) while making a buck:

Re-reading Goncharov Must Die for... reasons and damn, I really did have a lot of fun writing this.
mynarlenahan.itch.io/goncharov-mu...
NAPLES, ITALY Naples has been continuously occupied since the stone age. Its Greek name, “Neapolis”, meant “New City”, which is sadly no longer true after nearly two and a half millennia. Its history is a history of occupations. First by the Greeks, then the Romans, the Byzantines, the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (twice), the German Swabians, the Spanish, the Napoleonic French, and finally Italy… Yet it keeps going on. The result is a city of contradictions. Grand cathedrals, bombed out ruins, and bland apartment buildings neighbor one another. In the 1970s, it was still recovering from the death throes of WWII Fascism (both Italian and German), the return of organized crime, high unemployment, and rampant corruption among its political leaders. It is also the home of pizza. THE OVO CASTLE The oldest standing fortification in Naples, built on the island where the body of the siren Parthenope once washed up. In English, the castle’s name translates as “The Egg Castle”. It’s called that because of a legend that the Poet Virgil placed an egg in its foundations for reasons only known to himself. If the egg ever broke, the castle and the city of Naples would be destroyed. By the 1970s, the castle had fallen to disrepair. A small fishing village sprung up around the castle’s eastern wall and it’s pleasant enough.

Absolutely bizarre how I independently came up with the same villains of a wallace and grommit movie while writing a TTRPG supplement two months ago.

Reading through the Grimwild free rules and this bit on Vantages immediately grabbed me. Like, what an evocative mechanic and elegant solution to a load of complex problems.

You can download the rules here, btw: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
VANTAGE VANTAGE. Your character's frame of reference, the sum of your backstory, talents, and the current fiction—everything on your sheet and what’s affecting you in the story. When a question arises about what you can do, have, or know, check it against your vantage: does it feel like a given, a stretch, or a reach? A doctor can suture a wound, a thief likely has a lockpick, but a farmer probably wouldn’t know an actress. Proper vantage opens up possibilities and gives the freedom to declare story details. Lacking it makes things more difficult, or even impossible. TOOLS OF THE TRADE. You’re assumed to have the gear and skills that are a given for your vantage. This avoids detailed tracking and ensures PCs are competent where it makes sense. DETAILS. Use the details on your sheet as creative inspiration—and limitations!—for roleplaying. They are player (not GM) tools. When unsure or your PC's actions or thoughts, play towards or even against a relevant detail. Update details as the story unfolds, announcing the change and giving a vignette to give it weight and clearly convey the change to the other players.

I don't really get immersion, personally. I do like that the silly thing can kill you and it is also genuinely frightening. But people like different things.

(Also, I misspoke: I meant the final Alan Wake 2 DLC, which was basically just another take on Control.)

My favorite bit is this letter:
n/a (AWE-18) DETAILS: (transcript of a call to the California state emergency services) Dispatcher: 911, what is your emergency? Voice: Hello... Hello. I'm here. Can you hear me? D: I can hear you, ma’am. Where are you? Voice: I'm, um, inside the wires. I'm lost. D: Ma'am, have you been drinking tonight? Voice: I feel like I'm stretching through the wire. Towards you. Don't hang up. I might go if you hang up. D: Go where, ma'am? V: Go. Gone. Away. D: OK, and can you describe your surroundings- (unknown noise) D: Ma’am? Hello, ma'am? NOTE: Dispatcher attempted to call the number back, but it was no longer in service.

Woke up to this extremely lovely comment on my RAD Supplement, which is honestly a pretty good summary of it.

And I love That Fucking Frog.
A comment from Gigantic Spider Games, which reads: "This adventure has everything that's great about RAD: archival Soviet art/ads, clean two-column layout, bizarre mutations you can acquire, etc. What does it add? A monster called That Fucking Frog. Need I say more? "Turns out, yes, I do need. Because I love me some mushrooms, and this adventure is chock full of them. The titular technicolor forest is something straight out of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, a forest of giant fungus that sits smack-dab in the middle of a nuclear wasteland. On the one hand, its constant expansion poses a threat to human life around it. On the other hand, isn't it nice that something is actually growing and thriving in the nuclear winter? "Throw in three factions that all have direct connections to the Forest, several settlements at various levels of wealth, and a small dungeon at the Heart of the Forest, and you've got a compelling adventure location that will ask some big questions of your wasteland adventurers."

So, I've been quietly developing DUNGEON NERDS, a Dungeon Meshi-ass fantasy game (my first fantasy game, actually) for a few weeks now.

I've been sharing updates about my approach to Magic, Conditions, and Cooking on The Gauntlet discord server and I'm ALMOST feeling like I should start a Blog...
The logo for a tabletop game called Dungeon Nerds. It features the words DUNGEON NERDS in a punky, fantasy font. It also has a fork and a sword on either side of a dungeon, which might give an indication of some content that's in the game.

Then again, this is from my latest game, so maybe I still got it a little.
THE REAPER When He comes, you’ll feel it in your stomach. No matter the situation, no matter your worldly concerns, you know if you turn your head, you’ll see Him waiting in the wings. Anger You go out with a bang. Any grand sacrifice you’d like to make, any people you’d like to kill, business you still have unfinished, final words you’d like to leave… Now’s the time. The Reaper is smart. He’ll only make his approach once you’ve expended all that vital energy. Denial Time Slows. Describe what The Reaper looks like. Everyone sees Him differently. Some see Him as the hooded skeleton with a scythe. Others see Him as a man with a suit and briefcase. Some don’t see Him as a man at all. He’ll explain what He’s here to do and what your part in it is. He doesn’t know where you’ll go to next. He’s never seen it and He never will. His job is just to take you to the doorway. The Reaper will answer what questions He can, but there’s some things He simply can’t. Bargaining But, like all men, He has a price. If you give Him something you value above all else, you may keep your life. A worthy sacrifice might be: Your fortune. Gain 10 Debt immediately. If it’s not paid by the end of the Job, The Reaper will come back to collect. Your memory. Your life before now is just a complete blur. Erase every Skill you have, except for Skills you gained from your Trade. You’re starting from scratch. Your hope. Erase your Dream and any Breadcrumbs from your sheet. You’ve just killed any chance you had of success. You must decide what you’ll live for now. Your loyalty. Your Allies will face a calamity, but you are free to go. Give your sheet to the GM. If you ever show your face again, it’ll be as an NPC, perhaps even a Foe. Your choice. The Reaper is always open to an offer. If you give your sacrifice, time speeds up. You find yourself in the exact situation you left, but with one difference: You have 1 Luck remaining. Depression If you don’t make a deal, the only thing the other Drifters wil…

This is the mechanic, for clarity:
A screenshot from Apocalypse Roadtrip, which reads: Spending Goal Clocks You may spend Goal Clock at any moment that feels dramatically important. The fact your character has one completed means they have strong narrative power within them, like a soda can about to blow. You may spend Goal Clock in the following ways: Spend 1 Goal Clock A Moment of Peace: Get an automatic 6 on an Engagement Roll: You find just what you need with surprising ease. A Moment of Luck: Get an automatic 6 on an Action Roll or a Resistance Roll. It’s something that was just meant to happen. Some Encouragement: Give your Goal Clock to an ally and immediately gain a new bond with them. They bank your Goal Clock (but they don’t Advance). Spend 2 Goal Clocks Overcome A Fear: Subtract 9 stress from your stress track. Choose which Fear you no longer have and describe why it has lost its hold over you. Change a Life: Get someone (yourself included) to safety. Ensure someone’s inescapable death. Ensure someone never wants for anything again. Take away everything a person has. Find someone. Spend 3 Goal Clocks Change a Place: Wipe a town off the face of the Earth. Protect a place from threats, inside and out. Establish a safe retreat that others only dreamed of. Spend 4 Goal Clocks Change a Faction: Establish a new Faction in the world. Change a Faction’s leadership structure (through politics or murder). Wipe out an entire Faction. Give a Faction a major advantage.

Hey, I'm watching Arcane and does anyone else think that Viktor's utopia camp looks a little bit too... Midjourney-y?

Not saying it is literally AI art, but it sure is weird that THAT'S the vision they went for.
A screenshot from the TV show Arcane. A bizarre, futuristic structure in the middle of a field of yellow flowers looks oddly reminiscent of AI art.
