THE LIGHT WAVES CARRYING THEIR PLEDGE WOULD LAP ON HIS TOMB

CHAPTER ONE
Evening on Terra -
His Imperial Majesty, High Emperor Georgios Manuel Krishna Murasaki, of the Wang dynasty the fourth, Supreme Guardian of the Pax, Grand Director of the Stellar Council, Commander-in-Chief, Final Arbiter, acknowledged supreme on more worlds and honorary head of more organizations than any one man could remember, had a birthday. On planets so remote that the unaided eye could not see their suns among those twinkling to life above Oceania, men turned dark and leathery, or thick and weary, by strange weathers lifted glasses in salute. The light waves carrying their pledge would lap on his tomb.

I read the rules for Triplanetary and now I can’t stop thinking about adapting Classic Traveller ship combat to a hex map as a happy medium between full-on vectors and range bands.

mfw I’m about to share the dorkiest friggin opinion about games you’ve ever heard.

Selfie. A white 38 year old man with unkempt hair, glasses and an almost-beard, wearing gamer headphones with duct tape on them and glasses. Rubbing my chin and doing a pixar smirk.

Researching contemporary, mostly-online / discord-based Braunstein style play with 1:1 timekeeping because it seems like a real good time. Running hard into the fact that the four or five guys who have done it a lot and written the most theory and practical advice are massive pieces of shit.

Sure everyone’s talking about Stonetop but who is trying to play the Outer Space Black Market Testicle Robbery Adventure with me?

The Offworlders discord is now the Wolf Leisure Simulations discord and I am putting Night Tripper bits up in there like playing around with potential supplement covers.

Mockup of a grayscale zine cover. The title is "Galgalim Cluster" labelled NT-S01 byt Wolf Leisure Simulations. The center of the cover is dominated by a 5 by 5 hex map showing different worlds and their characteristics on a star-textured background.

Bro they are trying to charge rent for Sticks to Snakes D&D is cooked.

Torn between feeling an obligation to make a starter one-shot for Night Tripper, and the way I actually run the game. I tend to channel early Marc Miller. Player ambition + travel rules + encounters = the adventure. Adventure is when players try to do something, then things start happening.

Excerpt from Classic Traveller Adventure 01, The Kinunir. It reads:

Using This Adventure

The referee should begin this adventure with the entrance of players at one of
three worlds: Jenghe (0210 - C799663 - 9), or Regina (0310 - A788899 - A), or
Efate (0105 - A646210 - D). They may provide themselves with weapons and
equipment available (subject to law and tech levels). From that point, the players
are concerned with staying alive and furthering their own ends. The actual adventure should then follow automatically. If they have difficulty in establishing a
direction, they should be presented with a rumor from the rumors section.

We adopted an ogre in Wolves Upon the Coast and promised to get him baptized to cure him of his bone addiction. I leant another PC my checkers set to keep them occupied while a couple of us went into town to consult a priest.

This painting is based on a PC from my campaign. His name is Max Grundle and he was supposed to die to kobolds but now he’s a god. Temples to Grundle appear across the kingdom. My campaign world is cooked 😭

The cover of D&D IMMORTALS, a supplement for super high level campaigns from the 80s I think? A beige box with an illustration in the middle. A shredded dude with long hair wearing nothing but a white loin cloth flies through the sky, manifesting some sort of blue energy weapon from his extended left hand. A red dragon chills on a cliff in the middle distance. A city of white spires and a sky full of alien planets in the background.

Successfully made a kingyo (goldfish)! A shochu highball I fell in love with in Tokyo three years ago. Shochu infused with dried red pepper, garnished with shiso. Rocks & soda. a little spicy and super refreshing. The floating pepper is like a goldfish in an aquarium!

Okay listing "jump-capable starships" as an exciting feature of the rules is very funny. It's like a parody of the ridiculous way ttrpgs are advertised.

Bulleted list of features from the Traveller 5e crowdfunding campaign. Inlcuding: Iconic Character Creation, Jump-Capable Starships, Deadly Space Combat, Interstellar Trade and Exploration, Exotic Creatures and Worlds, Long-Term, Open-Ended Play
