Our very own Robin Val needs help! If you are fond of Era of Silence or Blood Neon and want to see more of things like that, or you just want to support a disabled trans woman, consider pitching in

TAC COMBAT DESIGNERS

Can your system handle Baby In A Bag?
It's a beloved Era of Silence tactic where they take the smallest guy, give her a gun, and throw her into an advantageous flanking position

How would that work in your game?

"From the body of the fallen mage you find an enchanted knife."

"Neat! What does it do?"

"When you stab someone with it, they die"

Recommendations for ttrpg starter packs? I mostly just kept up with moots from the Twitter days

Look at your dice game. Ask how many rolls are concrete vs. vibes and GM fiat. Ask why isn't just solved with playing cards.

You may have answers, but you'll have to search your soul a bit and that's always good

Read one of R. Val's fine novellas, completely for free! All of her fiction is designed to expand and define the world of the Long Silence (Era of Silence)

People waiting on the Sins of Dreams Era of Silence module from the Kickstarter will be pleased to hear I've brought Dan back on board to expedite the process. More on that in a backer update
January 30, 2025 at 6:31 PM
People waiting on the Bearer of the True Sight zines will have their patience rewarded soon. I had to pivot to A5 and have been caught up in Big Girl Unemployment Paperwork(TM). Doing a final editing pass, setting up the cover file, and then sending it off to the printer

Did Mixam raise their prices? Running a new zine and it's triple the price than a novella of twice the length was same time last year
