I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.

It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

Today we received shots from the printer of copies of Down Among the Dead, the new #PirateBorg expansion. I didn't mean for this book to take an extra year, but it was worth every minute.

And yes, that is a 5 color PANTONE print with embossing, spot gloss, and glow-in-the-dark ink!!!

One of you is a big goat. The other is a little goat. If you need to know more than that, this game is probably not for you.
