Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

well. two months before my four-year anniversary, my role at wizards has been made redundant, and I have been laid off. i have a lot of feelings i'll probably never put words to, except to say that i don't regret a single day and have so much love for anyone else affected and those who remain.

A screenshot of part of the Roll20 setup for Blades '68. It's mocked up as a 60s style device called the Strangford-Michter Score-matic 6800. On the left is a map of Doskvol 968. Several tokens representing PCs are spread around it. Next to the map are a couple index cards for Scores. One has details for an Opportunity from a person named Cross on behalf of the SCORPION syndicate asking the group to target the Red Torque faction in return for a 6-stack payout. The screen has five different countdown clocks: 4, 5, 8, 10, and 12-part counters along with a 10-part counter rendered as a ticking bundle of dynamite. An ashtray with a smoking cigarette and glass of whisky add some decorative flair to the scene.

Does anyone have examples of solo ttrpg combat systems that use theater of the mind but also provide some kind of tactical decision making? I'm aware of Ironsworn's "push-your-luck" type system.
