"We barricaded the door as tightly as we could, but they started tearing through the wall. We fought to choke back our screams and remain silent. Our only way out was through the window, but Kate was badly injured when we jumped." #HotWar #Handiworkgames

When the nuclear war happens, those rockets in USA are all built, take about 45 minutes to reach your city. The whole world will be fucked-over in a few hours. Your mobile phone 5G will stop working. your sports get canceled

"Partial human remains discovered in Building 4. The body appears to have been impaled against the wall after death. Unusual decomposition patterns warrant additional investigation." #HotWar #Handiworkgames

A zombie-type creature in a severe state of decay, facing left in front of blurred-out city ruins.
"Severely damaged and no longer combat-capable, the Creep was approaching the end of its operational life. Capture was straightforward, after which it was transferred to the RF in Woolwich." #HotWar #HandiworkGames

Why did the U.S. just order $200M worth of unlawful cluster munitions from Israel? Drumpf would love a #HotWar.
Give him #CivilResistance with rotating general strikes instead. It's bloodless and twice as effective. See my pinned post.

27/3/63. "It took four days before we learned what had become of 8th Platoon. What we found surpassed even our worst nightmares. Their forms were twisted and fused into a grotesque, infernal construct; a sight that left us utterly shaken." #HotWar #HandiworkGames

The only way to charge anyone with #Treason if there is a #HotWar otherwise it would need to be #Sedition #Insurrection or another #Crime the #Felon is #Already #Guilty of, but of course, the #GOP keep most people from being #Educated so you cannot 🙅 #Access or #Use what is left of the #Law

As well as being a very generous short thread from @trvshane.bsky.social, he also cuts to the heart of what I wanted to do with the 2nd editions of #ColdCity and #HotWar - embed actual historical understanding in a an accessible format.

For the afternoon crowd: How I'm embedding Cold War era concept of societal collapse in the aftermath of a nuclear attack into #HotWar 2nd edition. Cheery!

The cover of the TTRPG Hot War, rendered in shades of red, against a grey background photo of an aerial view of London and the River Thames.
1) In redesigning #HotWar for its 2nd ed w/ @handiworkgames.bsky.social, a lot of work has gone into further embedding the game's themes into the play mechanics. A way this was done in #ColdCity was to introduce 'The Cold'. But in HW, this is replaced with 'Breakdown'. So what's that then?

Coldplay had one about this, iirc. You know, back when they were cool.
#Coldplay not #HotWar

A week today at 5pm, the campaign for #coldcity & #hotwar will be over. The 1st week exceeded my wildest expectations, the 2nd week was the usual KS lull, & now we're looking forward to a strong final week. Also: I'm still glad we used Stephen Vincent Benét's 'Song for Three Soldiers' on the video.

A double page spread illustration from Hot War. Three characters are advancing through a derelict building or tunnel. There's fire and weird outgrowths of troubling tendrils. It looks like something bad is likely to happen here.
A double page spread illustration from Hot War. Two people in hazmat suits with gas masks are stood in the ruins of the limited nuclear exchange that has befallen the UK in the 1960s of Hot War. Further characters are reflected in the lenses of their gas mask eye pieces.
New Cold City Hot War art drop! Paul Bourne is once again showing us that we're gas we don't live in the 196os of Hot War. Swinging London this is not. Maybe swinging from a lamp post after stealing food from the wrong people? #coldcity #hotwar

A two page spread from the roleplaying game Hot War. The left hand page contained background text, while the right hand page is a poster saying Recognise It! Report It! Resolve It!
This in-world poster from the new edition of #hotwar from @handiworkgames.bsky.social will have particular resonance for those who frequently travel via Britain's creaking railway network.
