Question for our readers: have you ever found a new-to-you author from one of our magazines and subsequently bought a standalone release of theirs? I think there's this cynical idea among some writers that short fiction doesn't amount to anything—I'd love to see it proven wrong!

I've posted a beta of my new action horror RPG, Labyrinth Signal, to the RPPR Patreon. I've created a new d20 based combat system that solves the problem of swinginess and bad rolling. It comes with a sample adventure and a form fillable character sheet. www.patreon.com/posts/labyri...

I saw #Sinners again and it's still resonating with me—such a powerful blend of #HauntedWest themes that weaves together history, horror, and hard truths. To celebrate this remarkable film (and stand against attempts to silence it), I give you a Sinners Sale! #TTRPG #BlackOwnedBusiness

So confused by this “crisis of masculinity” bullshit. Is the crisis because we can cry now? Like, I can bench the same when I love all my queer friends and my calloused hands are still manly when I’m reading a book by a woman. “Manliness” is bullshit. Be you. Be good. Love hard. Forget the rest.

d4ce gets a YouTube demo Although the sporadic nature of my YouTube channel might suggest otherwise, I love doing demo videos. If only they didn't take so loooong to edit. It's been hard to fit them into time needed for game design work and other writing. Also, my recording setup has been too…

d4ce is a great system that I’ve had a lot of fun playing and running recently. All the rules (including a character sheet) fit onto a nice trifold. Give it a spin and make your poor d4s feel special!

A game that has “success with consequence” has a potential outcome of a roll IMO should have something like this in printable form for the GM to use during play. Coming up with consequences is hard, please let’s help the GM playing our games ! (This one is from Stoneburner by @farirpgs.com)
