Another good cause! This donation for Hurricane Harvey gets you over 400 bucks worth of material! I’m hoping to add Kaigaku to it. In the meantime it’s great to help out.

Thrilling Powers is an Electrum Seller. I’m lowering the price to a buck. Went a whole week without work on the last pay period and feeling the crunch now. Can we get it up to Gold? Originally written for Worlds in Peril, a PbtA game, It’s really useful for any supers campaign.

I’m working up an idea for location playbooks.

I’m working up an idea for location playbooks. The idea is to create a whole town and the wilderness in the area. Here’s the first one, The Tavern. Lemme know what you think!

So I’m working on my own hack, where you basically play a steampunk submarine and its crew.

So I’m working on my own hack, where you basically play a steampunk submarine and its crew. The playbook represents the submarine, and your stats are Commander, Engineer, Gunner, Naturalist and Pilot. Like the crew themselves are the stats.

Right now I’m just wondering about integrating moves so when you have the crew visit an island or what not, how you deal with “damage” that’s not specific to the submarine. Any thoughts?

So Thrilling Powers, my current bestselling title, is on sale right now.

PbtA/*World Enemies.

PbtA/*World Enemies. So I know how they work in a few different hacks, but it seems to me that if you were going to create a supplement with enemies that you wanted to be “generic” for as many hacks as possible it would be fiddly to get the enemies just right. In your opinion which system’s enemies embody the most commonly-used enemy rules. Which elements (agendas, for example), should be present in any enemy, no matter the hack?

What would y’all think of a one-shot sci-fi (with threads for continuing, of course) designed for use at conventions…

What would y’all think of a one-shot sci-fi (with threads for continuing, of course) designed for use at conventions and that is compatible with multiple systems.

So you’re at a convention, or just want to introduce your buddies to RPGs, but you’re not sure what game to play, you use this book.

I’m going to include stat blocks and pregen characters for all the essential sci-fi systems, White Star, SWN and Traveller. I’m also planning on lesser-known games, such as Hulks & Horrors. Would you like to see it for Uncharted Worlds, Savage Worlds, Cortex+ or other systems?
