CRESCENT 2e and EXILE arrived a few weeks ago and I finally cracked em open to read at the park on the first warm spring day in Toronto.

@ema-acosta.com is brilliant and has written the best GM section I have read in ages (moon guidance💛).

I will be sharing with librarians & library kids alike :]

              I. The Burial of the Dead

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

beginning lines of The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

Jan not only happens to be a lovely individual, but All The Problems In This World is a delight to visit. The RPG and comics selection is fantastic; simply put, there's nothing else like it in Europe. If you can spare a bit of money this month to help keep this place afloat, please do.

A photo of my hand holding two hardcover books with painterly illustrated covers. One is titled Crescent 2e and features a T-Rex, a bunch of rowdy kids, a boomerang and a crab with a pirate's hat. The other is titled Exile and features a bat-winged goth with a sword.

My name in the acknowledgements of EXILE.

With these reaching me, a whole chapter of my return to role-playing games comes to its lavishly illustrated end. Joining a playtesting campaign of what would become @ema-acosta.com's EXILE as a complete nobody was an enlightening and beautiful experience I will forever be thankful for.

This was a really good one. The framework itself is solid, but I particularly like embracing the fact that in a campaign you always reach moments where you need to “pedal” again. That kind of pacing is always something I’ve struggled with—so having a framework is very useful!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me.

Totally! that's something I was trying to highlight in the examples: people come into a game with all sorts of expectations, comfort levels, preferences, etc. I've been thinking of ways to create playgrounds that allow everyone to find their own fun without stepping into each other's toes

Yeah! I also run into it with PbTA games since the structures of those games often are so scene-based

My webstore heycentaur.com is finally up!
This took so many months of labour (mostly my partner’s), but it is all ready and running.
Physical copies of Kala Mandala are now available, shipping to most of the world.
