If you sat down to a convention one-shot, knowing nothing about the system, and were handed a character sheet containing only the following, would you feel like you knew enough to play this character?

I'm always gleefully surprised to see a new Baby Assassins movie, so of course I snapped up tickets to the curated screening at the Pittsburgh Japanese Film Festival on 3/15.

I’m approaching the end of my second campaign of Pathfinder for Savage Worlds, and I’ve really enjoyed the tweaks and additions it makes to the Savage Worlds formula.

Spectaculars is a game I’d really like to get to the table, and an actual physical table at that. I love the boxed format, the tear-off pads of adventures, etc.

Based on a minis game, War of Ashes: Fate of Agaptus mixes the narrative basis of Fate Accelerated with a reasonably tactical combat system and excellent GM tools to make my favorite published Fate Core game.

@theothertracy.bsky.social gave me a shot to make a PbtA version of their Norse epic fantasy with bone mecha game. I think it turned out pretty well, but it got lost in the sea of early PbtA works. I was very surprised to learn of folks playing it years later in a podcast interview.

One of my more recent acquisitions, BREAK!! is a fantasy game inspired by anime and JRPGs. It is also one of the most effortlessly usable game rulebooks I’ve ever read. Extensive cross-references, section and subsection callouts in the margins, and a fine index.

I’m pretty sure I hold the second place spot for most words written for Feng Shui 2, behind @robindlaws.bsky.social. Mostly because I answered when @rustysellsword.bsky.social asked for someone to convert every NPC from the first edition line.

I’ve loved Mage: the Ascension since late in 2nd edition. The combination of its flexible magic system and “War of ideas and also guns” setting still grabs me today.
Despite its size, I think the 20th Anniversary Edition is perhaps the most approachable version.
