Banger trailer until the last 2 minutes. I will not doom post but I did not like that last bit!

Yeah my office went from wfh to hybrid, which is ultimately fine for me, but there were so many people that got laid off as a result through no fault of their own. It's really sad.

Tried to blend what I like about OSR systems and the Year Zero engine. Aiming for the setting to focus on the usual cyberpunk stuff (corps bad, high tech, low life), but also touch on identity and physical expressions of identity

On top of clearly being used to suppress the votes of minorities, married women and other Americans who have changed their names would also be required to secure updated documentation to register to vote. This is going to result in voter suppression on a catastrophic level, which is their true goal.

Session 3 was a shorter one, and the climax of our dungeon. The party discovered a secret passage beneath the castle shrine, discovering an Oni underground. Next week, they'll make the last push to try to claim the castle! sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/folded-steel...

Corporations will not exploit working people in NYC. Uber Eats, Fantuan & HungryPanda broke the law — shortchanging workers while raking in profits. Today, we secured $5M+ in restitution for 49,000 delivery workers. Let this be a warning: steal wages, face the consequences.

Not to say the partnerships are good, I'm struggling to find what the details of the partnerships are. They just won't represent AI companies getting access to a ton of data they didn't already have legal access to.

There's a lot of people in the quotes worried about Wikipedia content being used for AI now. Sadly, that isn't really new. Almost all content on Wikipedia is published on a free use basis. You've always been able to do whatever you want with it, including use it to train AI.

I don't have a particular fave, but Yakuza has a system where you get a bonus if you order the right combo of foods at a restaurant. Like if you order a burger, fries, and shake at a fast-food place. I like places where the combo isn't obvious, but I can figure it out if I think about it a little.

The push system is here as usual, you can reroll your dice pool, at the cost of any 1's you roll draining your "Hope". Something cool about this game though is that your allies can take the hope damage for you (but it costs them a little extra). The game is about teamwork, so this is a nice addition

Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Love love love crew creation. Building your crew together seems like a really fun way to bring the group together at the table, and ensure you all have a common goal. EXP is also tied to working together with your crew, so there's so much built in incentive for cooperation. I like that.

Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Each character also gets a keepsake and I really like these. Some of them are just little items that add some flavor, but some are legitimate adventure hooks. A letter from an uncle that went missing on an expedition is great, it can inform my character, and the GM can do something with that later.

Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Character creation is familiar if you've played a Year zero engine game before, but with some differentiating aspects. No skills, so stats go up a bit higher, you get some extra talents, and there are three health pools (each is associated with 2 of your stats). I like skill-less systems, so W here.

Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Mayb my favorite thing so far is the birds. Space is filled with blight, a lethal disease. But these special birds ward it off. So when exploring space, you want to bring a funny bird with you. I find this fresh both conceptually and aesthetically.

Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

The factions are neat as well. You've got weird academics, ship mechanics that are also into mechanical arts and crafts, and gardeners building artificial forests, hanging gardens, and secretly manipulating every restaurant in the city. Also, the black toad is a great name for a criminal faction.

Today I'll be reading Coriolis the Great Dark, so impressions to come! The concept is immediately appealing to me. A dying civilization in a hollowed out asteroid needs to venture into space ruins to find a way to get their civilization back on track. Adventure ensues, neat!
