Speaking of toxic miasma... :) (work on the Breathless hack continues!)

A page spread from Requiem for the Wretched Dead, depicting the Miasma.

Text reads: The ubiquitous toxic void-smoke of the deathlands—all that remains of the howling death throes of the souls consumed by the arcane cataclysm that broke the world.
Deathlanders must remain alert to its malevolent presence, relying on portable lightning barrriers or emergency plasm-flares for defense when it strikes.

Threats (bullet list):
At a distance:
1. Obscures vision, dampens hearing. You fail to notice what’s happening or lose track of where you are.
2. Senses you. Moves to nearby.

Nearby:
1. Fouls gear, erodes materials. An item is badly damaged—mark 1 usage.
2. Closes in. Moves to close contact.

In close contact:
1. Fully envelops you. Mark 1 usage on all your items and suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it, face the next threat.
2. Finds a gap in your mask or exposure suit. You start choking uncontrollably as it gets into your mouth and nose. Suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it or get immediate aid, suffer Harm again and face the next threat.
3. Fills your lungs, snakes into your ears and eyes. You succumb fully to the miasma and perish. See Wretch on page xx.

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

The Last Champion of Hercynia. [Exomorph Egregorian for Pass the Torch] #Commission #Lancer #TTRPG #Egregorian

$The image depicts a colossal mutated Egregorian from the Lancer TTRPG. This Egregorian is an Exomorph -- morphs created to withstand the chaotic space battles against humanities ships in an ancient war. This particular Exomorph survived and plays an important role in Pass the Torch. The Exomorph is a crustacean and Insectoid creature of gigantic size with two sets of forelimbs, one that resembles a mantis with coconut-crab like appendages and scythes, and one that resembles a crabs thick claws. The center of the mass is bigger than the rest, mutated into a castle-like formation that protects the rest of the body behind it like armor. On its back are 4 dragonfly-like wings with a colourful sheen that contrast with the rest of the creature. On its shell are also a large rifle and grenade launcher that have had part of the shell grow over them. The creature also has an elongated neck with ruff fur of some sort protecting it. at the end of the neck is the monstrous head of the being with two sets of bifurcated jaws, large thick tusks and a protrusion of bone and shell for ramming into battleships. The creatures eyes are impossible to see and the very few slots onto which they would fit are vacant and hollow. The Exomorph has a long lobster-like tail with multiple small sets of legs for grabbing onto ships, thought 3 sets of longer, thinner legs with metal spikes at their ends resemble those of the Egregorians. The Egregorian shows various battle scars, pieces of old ships stuck to it and a strange unnatural fraying at its edges -- turning into fractal patterns as the creature seems to be almost fading away from reality. They also carry rocket-thrusters palced onto their back and various metal spike spines over and under their body The Exomorphs wings are blue and pink with some yellow highlights and its body is a dark and unsaturated mix of green$

As a creator/publisher: I'd REALLY like for Sweet Shop to work out. Post-Amazon buyout, Comixology died on the vine. It's a non-service, at this point. Sweet Shop is run by ppl who actually give a crap about comics and want to make it easier for people to read them. So grab some ultra-cheap books!

DoorDash spent $1.4 million trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. Mamdani just made them pay $131.5 million in wage theft settlements to 264,000 delivery workers. This is why they fear working class solidarity. It comes with accountability.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

An illustration of a centaur-like creature, except the upper body resembles a strange iron maiden type of figure. it has a hollow empty torso and wings lined with teeth, and dark stains drip from the mouth, nose, and eyes of the head. It has a spiked crown and a 4-ended lash for a tail. The horse body is covered in scarring from various sources, and there is a border that mimics the scars all around the image.
