So, there’s a band that most people call a one-hit-wonder, but they’re not. And we made a game based on their music, but only loosely. Really, you don’t need to know anything about the band to like the game. It’s a 90s-noir indie thing with gritty action and drama, and maybe some supernatural stuff.

The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.

I was lucky to be one of the playtesters for this new project. The lead designer @bryancpsteele.bsky.social got plenty of feedback and ideas from me, most of which he wisely ignored ;-) It is a fun amalgamation of two storied titles. #ttrpg #vtm #5e marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/4IQ...

If I'm biased, it's The Real Thing RPG (but that is VERY biased). If I'm honest, most days it's Fate Core. Such a solid system.

Our world sucks because extreme wealth and extreme privilege is analogous to superpowers. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Jeffrey Epstein are as immune to consequences as Homelander … and so they behave like monsters. We’re all living in the consequences of that.
