a) Dead Belt is so effing good, y'all - it's my favorite game built on Carta b) I'm so excited for Dead Net c) I want another Dead Belt Traveler's notebook cover SO BAD & I'm sad that more solo games don't go for this format. (i understand the economics of why, but it's SO COOL!)

Listening to an actual play & hearing the GM say "that's a great question. What DOES the room look like. We'll each give the room one detail," totally rewrote how I thought about GMing in a way that made the role accessible to me

The cover for "Requiem for the Wretched Dead: Breathless Survival in the Deathlands" depicting a scene in the deathlands on the Shattered Isles.

hey just some quick feedback. the groceries -> cooking -> washing up loop feels too tight, it’s like I’ve only cooked a few times before I have to start over again. it’s a reliable resource sink for sure but it would be great to not have to do it so often. can we do a tuning pass

Day 3.7: By the time I get back across the bridge, the lab & the bridge're already showin the signs of overgrowth I'm used to seein in the green. It's a straight shot to Exfil, here's hopin my becon'll get my ride to me in a timely fashion.

000

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.6: I feel tension buildin in the air, & I get to moving. Dips, ducks, dives, & dodges get me to the building. The lab's pristine, empty, & abandoned. Getting the singularity off the mount on the roof is a pain, but not as dangerous as crossin the moat was.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.5: I settle on rigging the antennae of my useless radio near the charred circle. I set that sucker to wavin back & force across the charred space as I dive across a little ways away. The thunder's instantaneous & deafening at this distance but I stand on the other side, whole & unbothered.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.4: There's a singularity in there. I know it. &, If I can get it out? The prize'll be all mine. No squad to split the proceeds. I look at the trees, wishing I still had that stick of TNT & det cord to pull one down as a bridge.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.3: 'Cross the bridge there's almost a moat of charred vegetation surroundin the pristine buildin. I hunker & watch for a bit. A tree limb blows over of the charred line & catches a lightning bolt the second it does.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.2: I can see the lab I was s'posed to check out, & I waffle. I was supposed to have a SQUAD with me to do this shit. If ya find yourself solo you're just supposed to head straight to Exfil. It's right HERE tho. Looking untouched by the creeping green. There's GOTTA be somethin worthy there

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Day 3.1: The steamy hell that is rain in a hot AF jungle greets me when I wake again. Tell me why the dreams of that fine boy feel more real than the midnight encounter with that elephant? As I make my way downriver, I find a bridge without the overgrowth most structures in the Hellgreen have

Day 2.6: I set my gun down. A submachine gun ain't gonna do SHIT to an elephant but make 'em mad. I'm better off stayin quiet & hopin they don't take issue w/ my bein in their jungle.

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 2.5: The crashing of brush in the night wakes me dreams about a cute boy I ain't met yet. I get out of this tour? I'll find him & take him from whatever plainer version of me is in that photo. I ready my MP5 to take on whatever monstrosity is causing the racket only to see a solitary elephant

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 2.4: I decide to follow the river until I can find a better place to cross. The rain doesn't stop when I decide it's time to camp for the night.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 2.3: Couldn't tell ya why I put that in my pocket. Not long after, I find a river I gotta cross. My first attempt is a disaster, & the TNT I was s'posed to hand off to the squad sapper washed out of my bag between when I started my crossing attempt & when I fished myself out downstream. Fuck.

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 2.2: Not far in, I find an abandoned NANCo issue bag. After checking to make sure LibFro fuckers ain't trapped bait, I grab the contents. The Ration & the Bowie knife go in my pocket. The photo of the couple? A cute boy and a girl who looks like me before I signed onto this shit job?

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 2.1: I woke up to the patter of rain on my makeshift poncho tent. Today I wouldn't have to deal with boob sweat or swamp ass, but I would have to worry about changing my socks every 2 klicks to keep from gettin trench foot. The bamboo forest gave way to dense undergrowth.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 1.3: Hellgreen's got a bad habit of groundin pilots and their birds permanently. I try to get comms up and running, but 5 wretches the green wouldn't let stay dead changed my plans. I'm glad the MP5 won't draw attention from the surrounding green as I go back & forth with the small pack.

100

James Quigg @gentlemanbrawler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Day 1.2: Dunno what spooked the bird, but they boogied soon as my feet hit the grass, before I could confirm the drop site. An initial sweep of the area doesn't turn up anything but broken down buildings. No WAY the pilots got any go ahead to drop me. Can't blame 'em for gettin spooked tho.

"An rpg book can be usable or it can be fun to read." You'd think the drama would be the worst thing about it, but it's actually when the line goes uncontested. The response should be, "Why not both?" 3 either/or fallacies with examples on Explorers Design: www.explorersdesign.com/false-dichot...

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Date: Monday, January 13, 1992, 5:26 pm
To: Byron Preiss
Dear Byron,
Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the
first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above).
I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible.
One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again
whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the
States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the
way it is!
There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense.
Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every
single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that
Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with

are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So
why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And
'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that
Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel
disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that
people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You
wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'.
There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a
generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to
"Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they
haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks
Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text
of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the
continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't
heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most
people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of
just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and
see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people
are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get
through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.
