hearing reports that Silent Hill: Townfall has "no supernatural or horror elements". apparently, Britain is "just like that"

I feel like part of that can be done by encouraging the players to offer this info themselves - everything on your character sheet is relevant to how you play, so what on there right now factors into this moment, yknow?

Got a work email this week from someone in the department I used to teach in while I was doing my PhD, which was lovely, and then learned that they teach using one of my papers in their module! Which is even nicer! They had no idea I work there, the world is so small and nice sometimes

Something strange is washing in with the tides 🍂🪸🐚 RYNE, life in the footsteps of gods, is available to download now. Physical copies will be available to the UK in October (other territories pending) rpg-trader.com/products/915...
A copy of RYNE perched on the rocks of a tidal pool. The book is an A4 hardcover in red and orange tones, showing a Remnant in the background and a group of characters sat on a floating rock in the centre

like how very online queer+ kids are doing purity culture again, it's like okay I get where you maybe are coming from but I think what's happening here is you reinvented fetishising but made it somehow even less sexy

in my most kind moments, I think this kind of approach maybe comes from a mix of inaccessible healthcare / lack of connection to trans elders or peers post surgery / an expansion of transness beyond strict gender binaries, but just like... pushed really far into Whoops You Made It Weird Again

Ryne has been a huge labour of love - it would mean the world to us to see people as excited about it now as we have been this whole time. We're very tired, but it's been worth it 🧡

We've finished it, though, because we really truly love this game. We hope you love it as much as we do. If you DO love it, we hope you tell us a little bit about your time with it, or tell your friends, or the internet, or anyone at all!

we're a team of two - we have full time jobs which aren't Ryne. We've created this game around work, volunteering, serious health issues, several house moves between us, one gender transition, a global pandemic, and All This in the world right now. Neither of us have been paid so far

This game has taken us, cumulatively, about 8 years. It wasn't always intended to be for release, but part way through writing it we thought "actually, this is quite special, isn't it" and made the unhinged choice to develop our first full size rulebook because it deserved a chance to be seen

two papers and then completely disappearing to start a local mutuality and make my own paper is actually, perhaps, the ideal outcome
