Reading The Slow Knife by @mousehole.press and impressed by what a good example this is of what @megueyb.bsky.social refers to as ritual in game text in her blog, gently guiding the reader through each step. lumpley.games/2021/12/30/r...
Cover of The Slow Knife. Three conspirators holding knives are controlled via strings by a puppet master above them.

Hooked on Pirate Borg right now and asked my GM a question. If Devil's Luck says you can "Reroll ANY die roll", can you use it to reroll the d6 for gaining HP when levelling up? My GM was kind enough to say yes. I wonder if this varies stronlgy per table.
rules page of Devil's Luck states five ways to use it. One being "Reroll ANY die roll".

For the past month or two I've been running the Neverland setting using a hack of Cairn: Barebones edition, where the NPCs are kids from the 80's who grew up with the stories of Peter Pan and Wendy. Its a lot of fun seeing a bunch of kids going on wondrous adventures in Neverland.

The Dolmenwood Campaign Book has one page per hex. Each has a minimap centered on that hex. I've been playing since summer, but only just realized that each of the six surrounding hexes on each minimap hyperlink to that hex's page. You walk through Dolmenwood by tapping hexes. 🤯 Great design.

I'm always looking for ways to make our open RPG Night more transparent. I've made a GM profile for players to leave reviews and let new players know what GM style to expect. A regular player Mate just left this review. I don't need any other accolades XD startplaying.games/gm/peterelroy
Mate left a 5 star review, saying: "Peter has killed me at least seven times already, and I'd happily do it again!"
