Every day brings us a little closer to release day. Today was about defining the attributes better and working on the rules for Pushing and Channelling powers.
New Project: Beyond Human
New? I’ve been working on this for a while. 2008. I wrote that in 2008. The project has advanced. It’s now 70 pages which puts it as the largest book I’ve made to date. The premise is that it’s a grounded superhero game. I mean, as grounded as superhero games can really be. It’s got…

It provides a slightly different backdrop to the game but could…
The 23rd Letter, 3rd “Fury” Edition
Yeah, I wasn’t planning on having to talk about it so soon. Blog post isn’t even written. but… it’s set nearly thirty years later. The Psychic War as was died with the final end of the Cold War. Corporations figured out it’s easier to manipulate people with social media than fragile psychics. Many of the…

And now we are on Fediverse/Mastodon.
Mythos Role-Reversal
Originally posted on Mastodon at #TTRPGDesign Saw someone asking about Mythos role reversal on Reddit. I don’t relish the idea of playing evil characters or Mythos monsters so most of the thread was meh. But characters who are doomed are interesting. Maybe the PC is trying to track down their long lost parents and discovers…
Return to Jorune
I am in the middle of a writing project (Twilight Invasion, if you must know) but this just means I have extra procrastination for other writing projects. I’ve written about Jorune before. There’s some activity on the Jorune Facebook page for a resurgence into the BRP version but honestly I don’t think I can face…

Watchtower play test reflections
The recent posts about Watchtower were from a one-shot adventure I ran for my son’s gaming group. They’ve been playing (mostly) D&D together regularly for 3-4 years, and it was a good opportunity to test out the rules with a group that had no preconceptions. The players created Talos-class exotics (the middle of the three…

Bergs in the Bay! San Francisco Chronicle Meteorologists were shocked today when a massive iceberg several miles long appeared off the coast of Marin County, seemingly on a collision course for the Golden Gate Bridge! “This iceberg cannot be a natural occurrence,” said Dr. Karl Limewall, Professor of Climatology at Caltech. “Nothing that large could…

I’ve been working on this for a while now – and just waiting on a few art pieces to be finished. So, what is it? Silver Haired Sentinels is a roleplaying game about the residents and staff of a Continuing Care Retirement Community. That would be interesting in itself but some of these Residents have…
[Hiring] Comic Book Superheroes for an RPG
Hi folks, After a somewhat abortive attempt on Fiver to get some superhero art for my upcoming RPG, I thought I would try here. I’m looking for panels which wouldn’t look out of place in “Planetary” (John Cassaday) or “Captain Britain” (the early Alan Davis). (I mean, just look at this stuff. It’s top notch.)…
Twilight Tangents: LEGION
I just started watching the Legion TV series (bought on iTunes) and it’s absolutely compelling. And then that made me think that it could easily be modelled using The 23rd Letter or Twilight:2000 with Twilight Tangents 1.0. David is obviously a Fury. But many of the rest of the abilities could easily be modelled.

T2000: Andriy and Alexei
Andriy turned the key in the ignition and the engine spluttered into life. …. Four days earlier they’d been slogging along the road, close to Srem. Both of them were so bearlike they could be mistaken for brothers, but while Alexei kept his dark hair closely cropped and his nose looked like it had seen…
