Cover art for a Rare Bird, a Swyvers TTRPG adventure. It depicts a decadent feast, with the heads of two black swans laid centrally across the table
Getting the finishing touches together on a decadent little Swyvers adventure/setting, served up in full-fat form very soon. Hope you haven't eaten yet!
Sure, I love Tolkien. Tolkien to people about Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun.
I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.
it made the hobby affordable for me, and the development rabbit hole brings its own new rewards and obsessions. I'd also recommend keeping an eye on Oxfam for cheap tanks and other pieces if you're not already:

Darkbag and Rodinal --> cheap Epson scanner --> one million hours scanning and correcting negs
After mulling this over since 2020, this year looks like the year that we'll finally host a Moorcockian RPG microcon here in Bradford. As the patrons were pretty evenly split on dates, we're just gonna do both and theme them around law vs chaos. Or something. Details to follow...

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.
Makes sense, they really bring the tone and aesthetic together! It's great

Detroit Historical Museum is having an exhibit on the ttrpg RIFTS?!?
things change:
authors and wizards are not always to be trusted:
nobody can explain a dragon.
But the way that the TTRPG industry uses it, as a high-profile, boom-or-bust product launch strategy that leverages flashy upsells and manufactured urgency to try to make number go up, that stakes 6-18 months of work on how big that number gets, structurally produces precarity and volatility.
Little January update for Melsonia. Watch me do an amazing job of burying the lede. TLDR: January is killing us. Share it around, help a small TTRPG publisher out.

Doing the same thing right now. I think Proton Suite still the best option but watching this closely for any hidden gems!
Petition to change 26 to 2d6, please everybody only play 2d6 based games from now on.
We live in a world where Life Without Buildings are back together so maybe everything is going to be ok after all.

I am here in this critical ocean to kill whales for my living, and not to be killed by them for theirs
