Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Schrödinger's plot or dungeon is a technique where regardless of the players choice you just put the encounter you want in the player’s path. It’s a form of railroading. Not recommended. 110
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 29/08/2025I am curious. Has anyone done the math on Blades in the Dark on how many segments make up a good score? Is there a ratio between score and threat clocks or a total number? Has anyone worked that math? 110
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 05/05/2025@j-k.games is back with another supplement for Mutants in the Now. As someone who played TMNT until the end of the 1980s, I believe this game is the true spiritual successor. The rules are revamped and clean, the game is fun to play, and the combat is fantastic www.kickstarter.com/projects/arb...kickstarter.comMutants From the Archives: Pet Shop BluesExpanding the retro-modern, mutant-animal, role-playing game Mutants in the Now with new pet species, fascist villains, and much more! 052

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 13/04/2025But honestly I love that whole cast. I have also enjoyed every episode. 000

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Gene Hackman has been in so many good movies, but the one that always comes to mind for me is The Quick and the Dead. I love this movie, and he was a great villain. 060

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I have two Cortex Prime conversions I want to make from 90s RPGs: Underground and The Whispering Vault. I think both would be a lot of fun in Cortex Prime. 140
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Its a shame that Cortex Prime does not have a license option, because I have some really fun stuff that I have made, that I would love to share with the world. C 080
Reposted by Phil V (he/him)Jason Cordova @jasoncordova.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Neon City Blues is a cool KS project that just launched. It's a street level cyberpunk game, Carved from Brindlewood.

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Thanks for the heads-up on this one. I love CfB as a system and I love Cyberpunk. Backed.media.tenor.comtwo men are standing next to each other in front of a building .ALT: two men are standing next to each other in front of a building . 010

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 09/02/2025That has always been my approach to GMing advice. I present the problem, explain what is happening, then provide a solution. It’s worked so far for hundreds of blog posts and podcasts. 020

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I really enjoyed it. It's for sure a Drama, but the alternative history they present was enjoyable, and the space sequences are well done. 030

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Be discerning where you place your happiness. Sports teams, social media, an audience, and careless people can all do great damage, intentionally or not. Instead place your happiness in the hands of people who care about your well being and will nurture and protect it. 092

Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Go to therapy. Even if you think nothing is wrong. The sooner you learn to process your feelings and understand who you are the better you will be as a partner, friend, parent, etc. 060
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Same. As much as possible, I make sure that dinners for workout nights are super simple...put in oven, then rest. No complex cooking on a workout night. 000
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 30/01/2025There is no working out and then running out to do other things for me. I work out, and then it's a slow evening, with some dinner, reading, and a little desk work. That's all I can muster. 100
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 30/01/2025This was something that I started last year, after transitioning from PT from a back injury. It's not easy. I feel great doing it; then afterward, everything hurts for the next day... a reminder that I am in my 50s. 100
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 25/01/2025If pressed I could make any game using Cortex Prime… I can fix nearly every business problem I have with Excel… … even when it’s not the best tool for the job. It’s so flexible that I can get the job done. 110
Phil V (he/him) @dnaphil.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Only in the best ways. I love both Cortex Prime and Excel. I have done great work in both. 020
