I know my reach is small, but a Kickstarter for a great game needs some support. This game is a blast for one-shots and makes the perfect game for a relaxed night of hilarious storytelling. I've run it before on a camping trip and it was solid. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Spectaculars, by @scratchpadpub.bsky.social, is another game I've seen first-time GM's pick up and run with gusto. I love how it feels like an entire game-in-a-box, even if you're running online. Character creation feels full of possibility, but it gives you helpful limitations - a great balance!

Been a little quiet on here for a while, and not for no reason. The trade situation here in the US has made pricing out the #neoncityoutlaws game Kickstarter really challenging. The bad news is that with the current state of things a box set full of goodies like DCO/Spectaculars is too costly.

I really can’t say enough good things about the Spectaculars rpg. Right now it’s hitting my sweet spot for superhero action with cinematic action, tactical choices, fun powers, pre-made adventures, and really fast chargen.

I want loading minds into/out of bodies to be central to the #neoncityoutlaws game. I'm tinkering with physical components that makes body-swapping fast and easy. The gene-spliced "werewolf" is one of those quick-swap bodies. Here's the latest evolution of that concept art by @atrabilio.bsky.social
