I think @wizardthieffighter.bsky.social 's work has a very Moebius feel.

I've honestly had a hard time accepting that people can be this evil. Naive of me, I know, but it's just unfathomable.

Are you at Origins? I'm missing it this year to go to my college gaming buddy reunion, but hope all of my con fam has a great show! Hope I see you at Gencon.

Overall, how did you like the system? I played in two sessions, and really enjoyed it.

My favorite King of the Hill episode is when Bobbie discovers capers for the first time.

I saw Star Wars on opening day in my town in 1977. This is a hill will die on, that there was no "part IV" in the original crawl.

So sorry Dennis. We've lost some of our guys in recent years, and it's really hard.

Are definitely awesome. BTW - I ran Emelda's song for my crew and they had a great time. They especially liked Panky.

One of the things I enjoyed most about our session was the free-form initiative. I ran a lot of Dungeon World back in the day, but I had forgotten how much more cinematic combats are when you don't have a strict, formal initiative order.

My perennial answer to this question is always Monster Blood Tattoo. A young adult fantasy series by D. M. Cornish with an 18th century aesthetic plus weird biotech.

Nice haul! I'm jealous of Mythic Bastionland (waiting for my copy).

Ooohhh... Much tougher question. If it qualifies as fantasy, Blades in the Dark. If you want classic, Tolkienesque fantasy, maybe Shadowdark?

I have almost no interest in superheroes, although the new Outgunned: Supers might tempt me.

The cards are one of the features I really like about the game. I handed my copy off to one of my players at last night's session, hoping he'll volunteer to run it so I can play.

I agree 100% on the D12 being the best die. Daggerheart has a lot of cool features, and is an interesting blend of trad and indie/narrative mechanics, but is at the high end of my crunch tolerance these days.

As a TTRPG freelancer in the US, I'd love to see something like this done for folks outside the UK. A great idea!

These people are beyond evil. This level of cruelty is incomprehensible. All in the name of greed...
