hello gamers, unfortunately, I was slow getting my files to the printer, who are now telling me there are further delays, which means we have no cards. therefore, sadly, tonight's GCTCG event is CANCELLED. so sorry for the short notice and the inconvenience

truly, the highest honor I can bestow upon a tabletop RPG text is to print it out in black & white and stick it in a binder

I never used to run published RPG modules. OSR/NSR games like Mothership changed that a couple years back, and more recently, I had an experience with one that introduced me to another joy of running published material: the fun of a shared experience. onlyonpaper.bearblog.dev/a-cool-thing...

on this, the anniversary of #OVER/UNDER, i need to personally thank @lolt64.bsky.social—this reply from Thatch is some of the hardest i've laughed in my life. i swear to god i think abt it at least once every few weeks. i keep a screenshot of it in a specific place to look at when i need a laugh.

I've seen some early snippets of this one, it rips

One year since #OVER/UNDER. I raced a "horse," I tried to extort the mob, I gave intel to my spy girlfriend on accident, I raised a bunch of money to kill a guy, I learned about making spaceships, I argued in the union hall...

#OVER/UNDER 🫵 girlies get to work

happy to see everybody reminiscing today, the anniversary of #OVER/UNDER. pleased to announce that I think I am very nearly recovered from running the game

Happy Anniversary #over/under! I caught myself reading through some of the 100 tables I produced during my time on the Dream the other day and it brought back some very fond memories! ktrey.itch.io/overunder-ta...
