Above ground I am using the Everway deck as an oracle, for dungeons I am using loose Into the Odd mechanics. At some point I wanted to play their D&D game too, but Im not quite sure how that will work out
Ive been playing a journaling campaign based on a "Kids on Bikes" theme, with random dungeons appearing in their small town that the kids going down into and delve. They are running The Hole in The Oak right now, which appeared in the woods behind their high school
One of the best things about re-reading the #bladerunner #ttrpg in preparation for #NorthStarCon is I get to listen to Hans Zimmer and Vangelisโs soundtracks, and perhaps the Black Lotus one too.
Its fun for me to practice so heres the translation:
Title: Today is rain
"Its unpleasant"
"Well is was supposed to drizzle..."
*Huge deluge of rain falls*
"What the heck was that?! It rained super hard all of a sudden"
I wrote about my last two zine month crowdfunding campaigns and try to figure out how crowdfunding works. This also relates to the discourse around artificial funding goals. Basically crowdfunding is a game with its own rules

An illustration of a five armed figure draped in a flowing dress, thorn-framed mask in the shape of a pitted moon, and long braids tipped with morning stars. The figure wields two identical scythes and the fingers of their upper most arms are capped with spikes. They twist and cavort. The figure is framed in cascading text, symbols, and graphics - smeared and distorted as if run repeatedly through a broken printer.

Working on a "What is zonecore?" thing to capture the essence of the Roadside Picnic / Stalker genre. Some call it the "rust & radiation" genre.
If you have examples of tabletop games that you feel fit that idea (e.g. zones, stalkers, bureaucracy, powerful artifacts, blighted land) please reply.

We didnt fund the full 32 pages for my last adventure module so I edited it down to 24 pages and it got better
With the preorder store we can offer the option to preorder physical CDs, which wasn't available during the campaign. If we can sell 14 prospective copies of the physical CD soundtrack, we will be able to fund the printing cost. Music is by @wilderwhim.bsky.social's awesome band Sacred Bull!
The Dead Internet Theory preorder store is now live and will be until we fulfill in September-ish! If you missed the campaign, now is your chance! ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง
Woke up and a feeling ive been sitting with a long time just crystallized:
Though I understand why ppl still obsess over filtering TTRPG via format and genre, I feel that the most filter these days is community.
Not just the community of ppl who design/play games, but the community of games.

Im sure theres other things going on too, I havent read anything today lol
Lol no no I am super pro manifesto! Its just that some come of as are more influencer-y to me, like capturing revolutionary energy to sell a lifestyle vibe rather than things super meaningful to games
Rise up! Rise up game designers! The new world will not be built with the tools of your oppressor! The time has come to toss aside your (checks notes) use of bullet points for quick referencing of information?
