Covok: May 27, 2013; Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

They're making an official Princess Bride RPG. In 2017. This is inconceivable! No really, it is. Like, what makes this movie special for its own game? Also, it hasn't been culturally relevant in a long while. :psyduck:

You can go to hell. The Princess Bride will always be culturally relevant.

Not that I'll be buying this.

Someone over on 4chan's /m/ board(specifically in a thread discussing Mecha relevant games) just did a mostly complete high quality scan of the Mekton Gundam Senshi RPG, just need to get someone to translate it and we'll finally have a minor Holy Grail of the RPG industry properly available

New blogpost is up for The Next Project

After completing and posting all of the classes in the lead up to the holidays, I've been making some tweaks to various classes here and there; today's post is a list of the changes that have been made so far.

I think as far as numbers go, they're mostly done now (barring feedback/playtesting uncovering bugs) so I'm going to try and work on some of the more aesthetic changes.

It occurs to me that one way to heighten the divide between Cowboys and the Program in Delta Green is to rip a page straight from the headlines: The Program has had a gag order put on it. The briefings are being channeled through this new Cell that filters it for "political review". A number of databases have gone dark, and Green Boxes are being shut down, their contents confiscated.

And now, your handler is reaching out to you, but through an "Alt" account.

What do you do?

I recently blogged about taking cues from the current administration for your games, would also fit in well with Delta Green: http://fuckyeahdnd.tumblr.com/post/156390433272/steal-this-campaign-idea

Yeah, you're right. I know it's easy for me to joke about what's going on in the States on account of not living there, but I can imagine it's rough having to actually live with what your administration is doing.

Rough is a word you could use to describe it. "Moist" is a word you could use to describe the Pacific ocean.

Yeah, that was a major understatement on my part. "Really loving terrible" would've been more apt.

I'm sorry, I really shouldn't make light of an administration that has already steamrolled on pretty much all climate legislation and is doing its utmost to suppress actual climate science, and is probably on the fast track to making life horrible for pretty much all minorities whether religious, ethnic or sexual.

Things are still funny, just not "haha" funny, more like a spiteful sense of schadenfreude funny. This is a vital skill to cultivate for both the SA forums and the Trump administration.

It's only a few days into the administration and I'm already terrified and (no joke) want to die. I spend at least part of each day crying and/or screaming.

I have no idea how I'm going to make it through four years of this, but it's not like I've got many options.
