a universal feature of the game designer working on a long project is that their next game wells up inside of them until it is physically painful

A scene from the Ghibli movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, rendered in pixel art. In the background, a large Ohm shell sits in a dark lake illuminated by a few beams of light. In the foreground, two heavily cloaked travelers sit astride large birds surrounded by various alien and fungal foliage.

in my mind , Triglav is for Draw Steel what MCDM was to DnD 5e . that is to say , a small publisher making incredibly high quality products with ample testing and amazing art no matter how long each project takes . Boggits , i think , is an awesome stepping stone on that journey ! and it’s cool !!!

2.34% of all Americans are trans, according to US government census data. This number absolutely POLEAXES me, and from what I can see in the source data, the number is completely and totally legitimate and based on a colossal datapool of almost 2.5 MILLION respondents. Let's dig in.

It's been a little bit since I shared what I've been working on! First of all, I'm working on a Mothership module based on Scavengers Reign, my favorite sci-fi piece of media from the last few years. It draw from Exquisite Biome and uses a tarot deck as an encounter map.

A text post, which reads:

A freighter from TRAPPIST-1e has vanished en route to Titan, and the Admin of Gysolki Trans-Union has dispatched a small crew to investigate in an AIV (Automated Interstellar Vessel). Most recent findings list the freighter, serial number 89445301 “Rabbit’s Burrow” was last recorded in systems failure while in a descending orbit around an uncatalogued exoplanet called Corona CY-08.

The AIV will land on Corona CY-08, the crew will determine the fate of the Rabbit’s Burrow, and through on-the-ground documentation, audit the possibility of retrieval.

Contrary to estimates, the AIV will suffer systems failure upon descent. Most of the crew will not survive. You are what remains.

Ran Pokemon Tabletop United for Indies Club tonight. It's probably the crunchiest, most simulationist, most unnecessarily verbose game I've ever seen, and we had a great time. I'm very likely to convert the entire system to Draw Steel when I have the time.

When Draw Steel came out, there were a whole slew of people criticizing various dimensions of the game. I didn't really think most of the criticisms displayed a thorough and good-faith reading of the text. I was hoping that some reviewer would come along and provide that, but I didn't find any.

Ferne (they/them) @tootallferne.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

First ones that came to mind were A Fire Upon the Deep, The Road, and Elric of Melnibone, although if I thought about it more I’d probably put down different books.

I may have stumbled into a way to run Scavengers Reign using a tarot deck, modified Exquisite Biome tables, and the Panic Engine. More to follow if I stay motivated over the next few days
