Off up the valleys to talk to Mens Sheds about gaming.. putting way too much stuff in the car for a short talk - feels like maybe too broad of a topic?

Working with artists is one of the best parts of my TTRPG work, and working with Joel, one of our co-owners and sole artist on Mappa Mundi and Gallows Corner, is the very best part of that. Pay your artists and give the best briefs you can and end up with exceptional work, like this for Gallows.

July's free RPG is the ludic antifascist DO IT YOURSELF. Half the game is unwritten. How are you going to complete it? Will you follow my delicate inferences and guidance, or do something significantly more interesting? Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/do-it-...
DO IT YOURSELF
Half of a tabletop roleplaying game by Grant Howitt
Based on the Havoc Engine
patreon.com/gshowitt for more free stuff

It is the near future. YOU are a FREEDOM FIGHTER. You and your comrades oppose the fascist regime and prepare to strike a decisive blow against them.

MISSING RULES
When you see “◀,” a rule is missing. When you need a rule, or when you decide to do so, the player whose character it would affect writes the rule and uses it immediately. Once a rule has been established, it lasts until the end of the session.

THE GAMESMASTER
The GM has the normal authority they wield in any other given RPG - they make up the scenario, set the pace and control the world outside of the player characters - but they must follow the rules as written if possible. 
DANGER AND CONDITIONS
If you do something dangerous or an NPC acts against you, GM rolls 1-6 dice. Mark their successes as conditions. Clear conditions when you ◀. 
If you cannot cannot mark any more conditions, ◀. 
FERVOUR
When a fight kicks off, roll D6. The Result is your FERVOUR (⛛). Spend ⛛ to:
- Act before the enemy each round, or they go first
- Negate an NPC’s success spend against you
- Activate a ⛛ ability
- ◀

Yeah it's nice but by default watch out for the death spiral of stat damage - some folk don't find it that fun. But it's flexibility is well exemplified by all the games Free League have used it in.

Well, this heist rpg pratically writes itself. God hordes light refracted through a million water droplets making the most powerful symbol of hope after dark times... you are going to steal it, pick your team. #happypridemonth
Text of a twitter thread reads:

Bryan Fischer: Worst example of cultural appropriation ever: LGBTs stole the rainbow from God. It's his. He invented it. Gen.9:11-17 Give it back.

Reply by Christ Stedman:

One of my favorite things about pride month is celebrating the many achievements of the LGBTQ community, like when we collectively stole the rainbow from God.

At the screening last night Tony Gilroy spoke about why a lot of people in creative fields are progressive. I forget his exact phrasing but basically it’s because you have to have empathy in order to make something that speaks to people. Refreshing to hear empathy talked about as a positive.
