Another I.C.E. book & this one has nothing to do with immigrants, at least not real world immigrants.

Harping on Steampunk Every now and again, I actually get a writing gig for a company other than Steve Jackson Games. However, this being the roleplaying games writing business, I may then have to wait a little while for my work to be published... Something I should mention here because people may have heard me talking about this one for a little while now. But that's by the by. The important thing is that _HARP Steampunk,_ my supplement adapting Iron Crown Enterprises's "HARP" ruleset to the steampunk genre, is now available through DriveThruRPG (in PDF form; I believe that a print option will follow in due course). I'm quite fond of this one, as it's a long while since I wrote for any kind of class-and-level ruleset. In this case, that meant coming up with Professions (i.e. classes) such as Detective, Pilot, and Engineer, cultural Backgrounds based on the Victorian class system, and creature stats for black dogs, dinosaurs, and theosophical root races. Not to mention steam-powered power armour and ornithopters. I got to flex a few odd creative muscles with this one; I hope that people enjoy it. And by the way, I've put up the wherewithal for a demo scenario on my Web site, and I'll try to get a second up in the near future.

Really enjoying playing the #Cyberpunk2077 game just now; however my #ttrpg of choice for the genre back-in-the-day was #IronCrownEnterprises #CyberSpace , so have taken the books down from the shelf for a nostalgic browse.

It came out in 1989, so the ‘future timeline’ has been amusing to read: 🧵

Photo of a game supplement, dice, and a gaming miniature. The game book is for Rolemaster and is titled "The Iron Win." It is a series of adventure locations set on an island chain in the world of Rolemaster. The cover depicts two fur clad warriors, a man and a woman, fighting a giant orange winged humanoid on an icy plain. At the bottom left is a set of red RPG dice. At the right is a packaged mini of the mothman cryptid.

Did my semi-weekpy sweep of the #Tallahassee #FLGS s. I bought these from #FalloutComics and #TaraAngelsMagic.

Not usually a fan of really long ears on elves, but I’m digging them on this werewolf.

If you see this, post a #TTRPG cover you love.

A friend of mine was clearing out some dead stock at his game store and was able to score this and some other great games for free.
