Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores!

However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies.

Good explainer here:

Okay, so I wouldn't refuse to play D&D 5E and I think it's a great game. But I've been playing some version of D&D since the mid 80s and I'm just kinda over the usual tropes by now.

I played an earlier version of this and had a blast. This new version looks even better!

Why I love editing Paranoia sometimes. I had to say to a designer, "These two terms you created are easily confused by the reader. Did you mean that? If so, carry on."

Looking for a palette cleanser after a big campaign?

Paranoia is cooperative RPG, but it isn’t, set in a sci-fi utopia, that really isn’t.

Traitors, mutants and fellow Troubleshooters all need terminating!

Finally gave in and paid for a #Dropout membership. After watching a few episodes of Make Some Noise, Game Changer, and the new Um, Actually, I am super happy I did. Plus supporting independent creators and all that jazz.

You can't call yourself INDUSTRIAL either and be a bigot!

Protip for game designers out there. When you are done writing a piece (like a section or chapter), don't immediately edit it. Wait 1-2 days so you approach editing with fresh eyes. There have been many times when I did this and said, 'Why the hell did I write that?'

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.
