FnF is a cross between YZE and Mork Borg and is probably my biggest surprise this year. I’ve been playing for 6 weeks and it is amazingly fun with very unique takes on those systems.

Looking forward to The Broken Empire, GM’ng Mothership and Pirate Borg in the fall. #Dolmenwood deserves every Ennie and is a blast to run and play! U love history and narrative play, #gallowscorner is simple and quite stressful as was the year 1381. #FluffnFury is mechs in stuffy animals with guns

I’m still alive bsky. I deleted most of my apps, which had become addictive, and that resulted in not looking at or posting. I don’t really do socials any longer. Footy is dying to me like NHL did $$$. I’m loving ttrpg as my main hobby. Highligts are Fluff n Fury, Gallows Corner, Harn, Outgunned,TOR

#RPGaDay day two - how long will my effort last? I have never created a character for #Dragonbane (Drakar Och Demoner) even though I have run it frequently on the Free League stand. The prompt today is Stature, so I will use one of teh extra playable Kin from the Bestiary (its that or Halfling) 1/?

I may regret this, I wasn’t going to do #RPGaDay this year, but @autocratik.bsky.social has inspired me with his first contribution. Can I create a character for a new (or new to me) game each day this month? The first attempt is #Invincible and today‘s prompt is Discipline! Oooh Mother! 1/?

Interested in GMing at a Con but unsure, this might answer some questions as I interview two with experience in the UK; but note much of this applies to all. #ttrpg #pnpde youtu.be/zcbguyH9LGk?...

It’s hard to post when the world seems to be lulled by so called “peace” when there is nothing left but reliance on corporate greed on essentially a land grab and an ultimate subjugation of an entire people. Sadly this narrative goes beyond any one location but is seen repeating itself.

This is one of the best social science findings ever made published: In Quebec between 1997 and 2007 (the first ten years of $5 a day universal child care), the low-income rate for single-parent families headed by women fell from 60.3% to 20.4%.

I know notifications are just a sign of interest, but I appreciate that. Please, keep spreading the word of Yggrakult. Uh... Cörk Børd. @kickstarter.com #MörkBorg #TTRPG #NordicNoir #CörkBord www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

This is a promotional image for the upcoming Kickstarter campaign of Cörk Børd, a Nordic Noir investigative role-playing game. The image features the game book with a collage-style cover, a blood-spattered crime scene with a d20 and an evidence marker, and bold red-and-white text describing it as a “rules-light game of Nordic Noir.” The game is compatible with MÖRK BORG and is described as a procedural horror where every clue cuts deep.

Interior spread from Cörk Børd, a MÖRK BORG-compatible Nordic Noir RPG, showing a set of orange random tables laid out across a gritty, blood-tinged backdrop. Categories include Weather, Motive, Identity, Pocket Change, Local Businesses, Unexplained Phenomena, and Almost Ordinary Happenings, designed to generate investigative prompts and atmospheric details. A gloved hand clutching a bloodied knife looms ominously above the open book. Logos for Cörk Børd and MÖRK BORG appear in the corners.

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

This Control Panel Saturday, we’re doing skeletons! Here’s Karl Stephan’s 1961 cover to “Utopia Zukunftsroman” #299.

Three greenish skeletons sit in tattered purple suits. One still holds a crank on a big control panel with radar screens and cranks. They're in a big machine room, and three living astronauts in orange spacesuits watch from a doorway.

Played The Quiet Year for the first time with a group of 15 year olds and they loved it. Our regular CoC game had to go on hold with 2 players missing, so this was a great 3h replacement. Now they want to use it in a Walking Dead #freeleague game.
