@savagespiel.bsky.social's Borg Season II, coming to The Raspy Raven (link in bio) in Jan 2027. Looking for someone to run Orc Borg @gshowitt.bsky.social anyone you know that can help?! 😁 rowanrookanddecard.com/product/orc-... All, feel free to suggest your favourite Borg! #TTRPG

Distressed, retro-horror poster in vivid orange-red, cream and black. On the left, a large bird skull sits atop part of a human skeleton, set against a hypnotic cream-and-orange spiral. On the right, heavy black Gothic lettering reads “SUE’S BÖRG”, with “SEASON II” on a cream banner beneath it. At the bottom: “18–24 JAN 2027 — THE RASPY RAVEN.” The whole image has a worn, cracked, screen-printed texture, evoking a 1970s horror or psychedelic film poster.

I know wrestlers have shortened life spans. I've read the books. But, as a relatively new fan (2010s) and total AEW mark this is only the second time one of 'my' guys passed. During the covid era he cut one of the greatest promos that represented all of us. 'Our bastard' will be deeply missed.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

I did say I'd drop it this week, so here is my fantasy agnostic TTRPG microsetting, Ansticewood! It's 16 pages on 8 spreads, all human-made. I'm still sorta figuring out Affinity, but I like the way it came out. Inspired by old fairytales & folktales, it features an Evil Queen & persecuted faefolk.

2/2 I tend to overstuff my scenes with elaborate environments, a verbose punchable face, and a secondary threat/goal. By limiting myself to two action scenes it makes me focus on what I really think the cool thing is for the players to explore. Hope this helps!

Jerod Leupold | Paroxysm by Design @jerodleupold.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

1/2 Yes! I also stagger under the weight of over developed plot and a mass database of characters. My advice is to present a simple opening statement/mission. And see if you can complete that goal in two 'conflict' scenes and one connecting 'research/interview' scene.

So many #TTRPG designers and devs asking social media how they should price their games. Stop. Thats not how it works, and watching old white dudes tell people games should only cost $3 is depressing.
