A thing I'd like to build with friends:

UFO 50, for TTRPGs. An anthology of small games that talk to each other inside a shared universe. Each game covers a different area or aspect of the world.

Games can cover wide swatches or small corners, cover events or moments...

You say your party member was turned into an undead skeleton instead of being resurrected? Our apologies. It was a clerical error.

[trying to get a Normal Person to give up their received delusions and see the world as it truly, awfully is, thus alienating themselves from most of society + dooming them to suffer psychic torment every day] lol c'mon dude!

We're working with the amazing @stvulture.bsky.social on a special Caves of Qud collectible. Here's a sneak peek:

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

the power distribution triangle that Star Citizen used to have, with three extremes each labeled: "Dems [are] controlled opposition," "Dems are bad at politics," and "Dems have a doomed liberal ideology." Implying that the truth is some combination of these, and various events suggest one or the other.

this came to me in a vision

China’s clean-energy revolution will reshape markets and politics The world’s biggest manufacturer now has an interest in the world decarbonising

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

wow is it possible for seven people to all be wrong about something?
