"What's the difference between 'Powered By the Apocalypse' and 'Forged in the Dark'" well, you see, the Apocalypse Engine is what convinced indie game designers that character classes are cool again, and Blades in the Dark is what convinced indie game designers that going directly from writing diceless one-page storygames to writing something with Dungeons & Dragons level crunch with absolutely no ramp-up is a reasonable aspiration.

Here’s some fucking Lancer mech manufacturers explained

It’s fucking 12:06 am right now let’s fucking go.

GMS is if Walmart and Blackwater merged into a single company, and it was own directly by the US president.

ISPN designs its mechs for the sole purpose of killing people as efficiently as possible. These are anti-piracy tools, the fucking chain axe and nail gun. I don’t want to start on Sekmet.

SSC somehow used eugenics to make a robot.

HORUS stole the power of C’thulu and posted it as a 3d print link on 4chan. One of the mechs has a gun that doesn’t exist and another can jumpscared a man do death.

Harrison Armory is the phrases “it isn’t a war crime the first time” and “Geneva Checklist” literally.

GM, describing a major NPC: so, the General looks like Vincent d'Onofrio got cast as The Dark Knight Rises' Bane. She's pretty much androgynous, you couldn't tell whether there's tits or pecs beneath that uniform jacket. androgynous not in the way an elf is, but androgynous in the way a tank is androgynous.

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)

Worldbuilding: a swashbuckling campaign

I reviewed The Three Musketeers: D’artagnan recently, but I only realized I hadn’t yet reviewed it because I was deep in the process of creating a T3M inspired setting for an RPG. I knew I wanted the intrigue, the swordplay, the ambition, and the thrill of being small players discovering a much larger political game. So I hunted for and pulled out the themes that felt crucial to T3M’s fun, trying…

Gourmet Street: Dungeon Meshi meets God of Cookery

With Dungeon Meshi being in public eye again with the Netflix series, I thought it would be a good time to shoutout again about Gourmet Street, my free (tips appreciated) Street Food Fantasy zine! Big thanks to our wonderful artist and layout man @feralindiecharlie

 A New Setting! - Gourmet Street, a collection of scattered and bizarrely connected alleyways, it seems to pop up in any settlement large enough to begin thinking of itself as a city. Stacked high in wood carts, laid out on intricate rugs, swimming in a myriad of sauces, food is the name of the game on Gourmet Street.

 ONE MILLION Food Vendors and Menus! - Never eat the same thing twice! Generate from 8,000 possible unique food vendors and LITERALLY ONE MILLION possible dishes; ranging from Soft-shelled Crabman Sandwiches with Tzatziki sauce and Egg Coffee, to Myconid Zapiekanka in Pesto with a shot of Absinthe! 

 Food Factions! - From the hyper-radical (and slightly deranged) Neuvo Gastro-Alchemists, to the fanatical and militant Vinegar Knights, the food factions each come with their own wants, goals, and boons, IF you choose to serve them...

 A One-Page Adventure: ESCAPE FROM GOURMET STREET! Help a pair (or trio) of star-crossed lovers escape from Gourmet Street in a Snake-and-Ladders inspired chase! Fend off rival lovers, food cart brawls and escaped dishes as you dash through the alleys of Gourmet Street!

 And More! Monsters, magic items, and cookbooks for both Players and GMs to use and abuse!

PSA

You. Yes, you. The person who just read or perhaps watched Dungeon Meshi and is toying with the idea of running a similar campaign in D&D.

Before you do that, consider checking out RELIC. It's free, much lighter in terms of rules, only 42 pages long, broadly compatible with most Old-School D&D material (including modules and bestiaries) with little to no conversion required, AND it has pretty cool built-in mechanics for cooking and eating dungeon critters.
