To whom it may concern: I do not wish to log in. I do not wish to register. I extremely do not wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I would just like a normal, browsable website, please. Paywall can be its own thing, this is a separate issue. Thank you for your cooperation.

Finally got my copy of Blades '68 today. Excited about the Cold Opens and Ticking Timebombs. Hoping the Trouble Engine will make the non-score parts of the game easier. Not sure if I'll be able to talk my group into letting me run it yet, but *man*, @olddog.games makes a pretty looking game.

Trying to replace Spotify; aside from paying the artists terribly, I can no longer reliably ask for music and expect to avoid AI songs. So I sign up for Tidal. But it turns out they don't do podcasts. I'm now like nine websites deep on trying to find something that my Alexa will tolerate.

I haven’t had a DVD player or PC disc drive installed for a number of years now, so the Sony thing doesn’t affect what I buy for myself. But I buy nieces and nephews games for birthdays and Christmas several times a year. That is SO much easier to do with a physical copy.

Man, I super do not like how every time there's a wave of layoffs in the industry some folks out there rush to cheer the idea of AAA games crashing and burning.

my entire life I felt a gradual sense of progress & change but I never felt like I was in ‘the future’, but post like 2020 I 100% do feel like that like a major news story right now is the company that thinks it’s product is sentient refusing to turn it into a killbot, that’s Future News

My group seems burned out on crime games for right now, but man, this looks *so* stylish and original. Plus Blades itself produced some great gaming memories (urchin in the cake; swapping out the elephant twice). This was an instant back for me. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Blades '68

Blades ’68 is an official supplement for Blades in the Dark, moving the timeline forward 100 years to the swinging 60s.

I have come to the realization that I experience sports the way normal people experience the MCU. You know-- got the basics when I was a kid; seems a little silly now; the events are still OK if samey; I don't know who all the new people are and there's too much homework you're expected to know.

Hey RPG folks! I'm trying to decide on my 2026 campaign. I'm hoping to find something whose character options strongly prescribe player-driven arcs like Masks or Chuubo's (late era MotW seems to be edging into this territory). Recommend games to me?

A movie that takes place where you’re from. Or as close as it gets, here in the northern suburbs of Detroit.

Poster for the movie “It Follows”; two young people make out in the back of a gold 1975 Plymouth Fury. It is spotlighted from above and some bounce light exposes nearby foliage— wild, but not dense growth. Darkness pools ominously on all sides.

Don’t really care who wins, I just hope they don’t come THIS close to being the longest world series ever only to fall one inning short!

Halloween Movie 30: Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) Some point in the 2010s Detroit became a sort of cinematic symbol for decay. Not entirely fair, but it did make for a number of solid horror movies... if something this elegiac counts as horror? letterboxd.com/adamianix/fi...
