The Black Box, my first multi-session Mothership module, is now available to buy on itch! Explore Red Sands L&K, a remote compound responsible for story many of the galaxy's supernatural items. It comes with a custom soundtrack, if that sweetens the deal. martiancrossbow.itch.io/the-black-box

Fun fact in australia we still often sell houses by standing outside the house, in the street, and holding an auction.

I sort of suspect that GMs and players don't need to be told this. I've never met an RPG player who was at all afraid to homebrew, hack, scrap or reinterpret. Whenever I'm designing I just assume that's something that will happen, I never waste my breath granting permission.

Sorry it just occurred to me that there may be people who haven’t seen clip from the Quibi show where Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman dying because of her golden prosthetic arm and I needed to fix that

When I make my own website I'm tempted to have one that looks like this. But I think it's best to show off my typography skills in a more conventional way. More people should be making websites like this tho.

omggg there was a technical issue with my email all week that i thought was the registrar's fault but it was actually my fault. dozens of voice actors weren't able to email their auditions because of this. I eventually started accepting DMs so hopefully everyone got to submit anyway :(

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

being a (video) gamer and an RPG designer is so stupid bc all your professional contacts have you on discord and they can see how much time you waste playing bad video games.

You won't catch me posting matrix or terminator bits in relation to real-world AI deployment because that would constitute a reproduction and endorsement of the foundational marketing lie that these technologies ought to be conceived of as comparable to the "thinking machine" science fiction premise

Someone once told me that bluesky attaches a "rude" label to some accounts and suppresses them algorithmically. Not sure if that's true but if so I need to become "rude" asap. I crave it.

This first bit about the culture warriors having no impact on reality once the movie was out, is what I mean when I say "I worry folks might make the mistake of thinking the internet is real." As in, the rpg flame wars don't have anything to do with your table. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV3L...

It was one of those rare ideas where you come up with it and then it takes very little work to get it out there fully formed.
