The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

MĂ–RK BORG is a pitch-black, rules-light apocalyptic fantasy RPG about scum and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak, dying world. Inspired by extreme metal music, it's grimdark turned to 11. A spiked flail to the face.

Corps a Corps is a stat-raising RPG about fencers training with and competing against each other. It's designed to play out sports drama narratives with an anthology of training and competition scenes and a token-based fencing minigame. GM-optional.

Okay but she's lowkey spittin here
You're the second person to rec this to me, so I should probably check it out P:
I ask this every now and then, and it's been about one now and then since the last time:
Anyone got examples of SEAsian sword-and-sorcery? This can be just sword-and-sorc written by SEAsian authors (like Walls of Shira Yulun), but preferably stuff in SEAsian-inspired settings by SEAsian authors.
Time to repost some cute Sailor Moon comics that haven't been posted to Bluesky yet ✨️

Been toying with two settings for Crisis Angels.
First: new millennium, post-failed-apocalypse with humanity fending for itself as heaven has abandoned them.
Or: ~100 years earlier alt. universe, apocalypse come early, humanity plagued by demons and heaven's emissaries curiously absent.
What Dust Remains has a free excerpt so you can check out why it's beloved.
It is one of my favorite games to have designed—and one of the gut-wretchingly punchiest ones.

TTRPG about me
First game: D&D 3.5e
Latest game: Orbital Blues
Longest game: D&D 5e
Favorite game: Best Left Buried
Favorite mechanics: Shadowdark
Favorite setting: A Thousand Thousand Islands/Reach of the Roach God
Favorite art: Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of
That said, the players came up with a truly interesting crew, whose dynamics were always interesting to watch. I think the way characters are built up from Troubles and Gambits (and the assumption of some unsavoriness) led to a real breath of fresh air.
Orbital Blues session was a blast, though I struggled more than anticipated with running a game set in space. A lot of this probably has to do with my own lack of familiarity with the tropes in this genre (vs. fantasy/sword-n-sorc), but it's something I'll try examine in a proper play report.
An isolated, unregulated space hospice/clinic (hiding a notorious Dr. Blackjack-esque figure) is too compelling a premise to pass up.
I do already have some issues with the scenario as presented, but I'll leave my thoughts for when I'm done running it.
Running Orbital Blues for the first time later today using the premade scenario "They Laurel the Graves of the Dead."
Long overdue, seeing as I've had this game for years.
Its character-driven OSR gameplay gave me a lot of ideas for Crisis Angels (WIP), so now it's time to try them out firsthand!
This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.
two digital drawings of grave robber from darkest dungeon. one of the drawings is a simple bust and she's smiling at you! in the other drawing she's posed cuntily with a shovel. the colour palette is largely green purple and turquoise.

perennial reminder that you cannot stop war crimes by posting about them and gluing yourself to the screen will only traumatize you. call reps or do mutual aid or play videogames, but don't doomscroll pointlessly because you're trapped in a sense of helplessness and guilt. give yourself room to live
How to use your imagination When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat? If you ever catch yourself wondering that then you know you’ve formed an attachment to your characters. With Etrian Odyssey’s characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character it’s technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing. For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... if you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more. The essense is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those “numbers” with your own feelings, you can spice up the game little. Think about this: In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left and no TP. They’re certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends. Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who’ll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath? The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently. The game itself isn’t that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds. —Kazuya Niinou
Been thinking about the use of imagination in video games lately, or how I feel there are few and increasingly fewer games that ask the player to use their imagination to engage with them.
This post Kazuya Niinou wrote to accompany Etrian Odyssey often comes to mind so I decided to remake it.

I am proud of my profiles of Jessica Amanda Salmonson (#3) and Janrae Frank (#6) for New Edge Sword & Sorcery @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social
These matter to me as much as my fiction in the mag: I love to shine a light on the lesbian past in Sword & Sorcery.
i think it's possible to balance making $ with respecting your customers, and efka and elaine make the point perfectly with the video. i learned a few things too that i didn't know about manufacturing, so, highly recommend.

they're an offshoot of my AoS army, a coven led by doomfire warlock-turned-shadequeen Stellaine Blackswell, who swindled some corsairs out of their rundown black ark, which she's trying to convert into a massive naval cauldron of blood to maintain Morathi's favor
not much to my warband's narrative:
they follow Arisia Agony, an isekai'd sports star from the world of Bloodbowl, still getting used to the idea of a world where war exists
she's on a pilgrimage to learn the meaning of murder so she can better serve her shadequeen and coven mistress
played a couple games of OPR Age of Fantasy: Skirmish yesterday
been really enjoying its simple gameplay: can get a game in within an hour, including progressing narrative elements
extremely refreshing compared to the hours-long games of Age of Sigmar
