A friend prompted a discussion, and a discussion rapidly metastasized into a miniature project.
I present:
TABLETOP! The TTRPG of Musicals.
A fast-paced frenetic experience of pure showbiz and artistic sincerity.

Talking with some friends yesterday about the pure joy of watching goblins go to work causing havoc has become a free, rules light, one-page RPG.
I hope you all enjoy "Oops...All Goblins!"

Lazarus Fallen #1 dropped (give or take a time zone) yesterday. I want to talk about it a little. Bear with me, it's been a while since I've done this.

The Devils is shaping up to be *extremely* my kind of business. Any book that contains the expression "the Witch-Engineers of Carthage" knows what it's about.

I've been getting deeply into "Through The Hedgerow: A Roleplaying Game of Rustic Fantasy" where you play a combination of mortals and spirits defending "The Old Shires" of England against the forces of The Dark. A bit Susan Cooper/Alan Garner in its composition, for tone, but very clever and rich.

Just heard the great sci-fi artist Chris Moore had passed. Amongst other things, I'd call him the seminal illustrator for *The Stars My Destination*. The definitive Gully Foyle here IMHO.
A loss for the field.

Who needs fancy graphics when you have immaculate writing and the pressure of dozens of ticking clocks going off at once? A beautiful enigma of a game, working through trial and error until you unlock hidden horror and the promise of beauty.

Now for something a little left-field!
I never liked the show, (and please ignore the contractually mandated sex criminal in the upper left corner, no-one knew then) but locked inside this unassuming licensed property is one of the best TTRPGs ever made. A genius piece of design.
