Hi I'm Eric Kingsbury. Freelance writer and designer of tabletop strategy and role-playing games. Sometimes publisher too. Always up to play, create and collaborate. www.stratelex.com
To be an American right now is to feel an intense sense of shame, for abandoning our allies and sucking up to dictators. Trump and Musk are not just betraying Ukraine, they're betraying the very idea of freedom.

The White House has launched a scorched earth war against the International Criminal Court. They are protecting the war criminal regimes of Russia/Israel.
Canada and Europe aredefying Trump.
This sets the stage for a showdown over the rule of law.

A compromised traitor could not have done a better job... the long term strategy of influencing Trump, weak and flawed, over the years is paying off very well. Being played like a fiddle and not even realizing it, maybe.
If it quacks like a duck...

A sorely overdue update ... things I'm working on:
I have a new website in process, as a showcase my games and as a portolio site. Check it out at www.stratelex.com ... I am working hard on projects for Iron Crown too, including a reboot of the Cyberspace TTRPG, called Cyberspace Reloaded. 1/3

Once I have the Cyberspace Reloaded draft off to Iron Crown, I expect to finish my Fatal Vector TTRPG, which is 3 years in the making (play testing lol). Shooting for release in the spring of 2027. You can read a bit about Fatal Vector on the home page of my site.
I will be at Origins 2027 with Iron Crown, running HARP SF games (to promote my module for that game) and demoing Cyberspace Reloaded. Also looking for freelance, contract, and/or full-time work. If you need a writer or game designer, message me :)
Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
Yeah, Kat Tenbarge was much nicer to Jack Osbourne than I would have been, I would have just told him to go fuck himself. Also, if you're going to accuse a writer or journalist of using "AI" on the basis of em dashes, absolutely positively go fuck yourself.
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
Hey all, I hate to do this again, but. I just had two clients pull major projects in the same day and it's left me up a creek without a paddle, with rent due in 4 days. So, MASSIVE #commission#sale!! Will post specifics in the thread, but these are great deals for any #rpg or #gamedev project!

Iron Crown Enterprises launches HARP Steampunk by Phil Masters. The new sourcebook scales from Victorian melodrama to electrical miracles, requiring the core High Adventure Role Playing rules. The PDF is available now on DriveThruRPG.
Would you like to work with us? We're always looking for short-form writers, adventuring parties, collectors of artifacts, & artists! Come join a fun filled collaborative project! fantasticalgeographic.com/work-with-us/
Hit the city cyberpunk style.
I don't usually do this, but I made an exception for a project and redrawn one of my older fan art with my own characters.
Thank you to @danielflajsz.bsky.social for being my art partner on my Fatal Vector TTRPG project … he was as much an inspiration as an illustrator … I recommend his work to any and all!
President Zelenskyy:
❗️For the first time in the history of this war an enemy position was taken using only unmanned platforms - ground robotic complexes and drones.
Russian soldiers in the position surrendered into captivity.
About to go deep down the cyberpunk rabbit hole for a big *game writing* contract woop woo ... I will also be at Neotropolis in SoCal again this April for the cyber cosplay lulz ... wish me luck!
Playing Twilight 2000 again tonight. New characters after our last team became NPCs - members of the 256th Mechanized Brigade (Louisiana Nat Guard).

Grimlighting - an attempt to portray/create a positive current/future society/culture from what amounts to subservience to a manipulative/dehumanizing/false sense of community/prosperity/utopia … involving drugs/technology/ideology. Grimlight fiction? Some Black Mirror? Brave New World? Raving PLUR?
Or is grimlighting a term for manipulating someone by referring to the many ways everything is pointless and bleak … grimlight as a genre vs grimlighting as a psychological play … just thoughts lol
